DIVIDING NETWORK
The complex network design produces a seamless
system frequency response through the critical
crossover region around 2.5 kHz. The rolloff slopes
are precisely determined to result in smooth axial
and power response.
High quality polypropylene and polystyrene
capacitors are utilized as “bypass capacitors” in par-
allel with the larger network mylar capacitors. This
design procedure linearizes energy storage in the
larger capacitors, and the result is greater accuracy in
the reproduction of transient signals.
A front baffle control allows precise adjustment of
the HF transducer level, enabling the system to be
adjusted to taste, or to match a given acoustical
environment.

IBL continually engages in research related to product improvement New materials. production
methods, and design refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine
expression of that philosophy For this reason. any current IBL product may differ in some respect
from its published description but will always equal or exceed the original design specifications
unless otherwise stated
