The crossover frequency is the frequency range at which a loudspeaker begins to reproduce sound before it reaches the individual ear of the listener. The crossover frequency is determined by the design of the speaker, its size, and the distance between the speaker and the listening position.
The crossover frequency of a speaker is measured in both the driver’s frequency range and the ear’s frequency range. The crossover frequency is the difference between the two frequencies.
Acoustic crossover frequency
The acoustic crossover frequency is the point at which a speaker no longer broadcasts sound in one Frequency and starts to broadcast sound in the next.
For example, if a speaker were broadcasting sound at 100 Hz, it would stop broadcasting sound at 200 Hz and start broadcasting sound at 300 Hz—the crossover frequency changes based on the speaker and the room size.
How to calculate crossover frequency
To calculate the crossover frequency, you need to know the speaker’s frequency range and the crossover frequency. The crossover frequency is the Frequency at which the speaker switches from one driver to the other.
For example, if the speaker is rated at 100 Hz and has a crossover frequency of 200 Hz, it will be playing 100 Hz from the woofer and 200 Hz from the tweeter. To calculate the crossover frequency, you need to know the speaker’s frequency range and the crossover frequency.

How to determine speaker crossover frequency
Speaker crossover frequency is the Frequency of the crossover point between the diaphragm of a loudspeaker and the cone. The crossover frequency is the Frequency at which the speaker’s voice coil starts to move back and forth in the magnetic gap. The speaker crossover frequency is determined by the speakers’ voice coil size and the cone.
Conclusion
A crossover frequency is the Frequency of the point where a given audio signal is passed from one speaker to the other. When a crossover frequency is too high, the sound quality is poor. When the Frequency is too low, the sound quality is also poor.
The following formula determines this Frequency: F = 1/2(p + q), Where F = Frequency p = Power of the amplifier q = Power of the speaker. The crossover frequency is the Frequency at which the speaker’s power is equal to the power of the amplifier.
FAQs
Why is 80 Hz the best crossover?
80 Hz is the best crossover frequency because it is the “fattest” of the lower frequencies. It means that it is the most acoustically efficient.
Is lower crossover frequency better?
Yes, a lower crossover frequency is better.
Does a crossover improve sound quality?
Yes, a crossover would improve sound quality when it is implemented correctly.
Does a full-range speaker need a crossover?
Yes, a crossover is a device that mixes the high and low frequencies to make them appear at a certain point in the spectrum. It is also a device used to control the amplitude of a signal as it is being amplified.
