AD-450NW Professional 1 Way Crossover Network – Precision

The AD-450NW Professional 1 Way Crossover Network Precision Network is designed to deliver clear and balanced sound performance for high-frequency (HF) drivers, making it a perfect choice for speaker builders, repair technicians, and audio professionals. With a compact design and robust construction, the AD-450NW ensures seamless integration and smooth signal separation for high-quality audio output. Built to support both 8Ω and 4Ω output impedance, this crossover offers flexibility across various speaker setups.

We set the crossover frequency at 3000 Hz with a 12dB per octave slope to filter out low-frequency signals. This setup directs only the optimal high frequencies to your 1-inch or 1.4-inch HF driver. This precise frequency control helps reduce distortion, enhances clarity, and extends the life of your compression driver.

With a maximum RMS power handling of 100W, the AD-450NW is capable of managing powerful audio signals without compromising performance. Whether you’re designing custom PA systems, replacing damaged components, or upgrading existing speakers, this crossover delivers consistent, clean, and high-fidelity sound reproduction.

Measuring just 100 x 160 x 30 mm and weighing 0.199 kg, the AD-450NW is compact and easy to install in most speaker enclosures. Its durable components and reliable design ensure long-term performance, even in demanding environments.

Audiotone has a strong reputation for delivering quality audio solutions. The AD-450NW continues that legacy, offering precision and reliability for professionals.
