What Crossover Calculator does

A crossover calculator determines the component values needed to split an audio signal into separate frequency bands for speaker systems. Users input the impedance of their woofer and tweeter, select the number of speakers (2-way or 3-way), and choose a filter order type from a list that includes Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel, and other slope options. The output provides the specific capacitor and inductor values required to build a passive crossover network, enabling smoother transitions between drivers and improved sound quality in home audio or music production setups.
