This is a new crossover design based on the ALK 'CSW' crossover and designed and built with his blessing and cooperation.

These networks work great in the the following speakers: Klipschorn, LaScala, Belle, Cornwall 1, Heresy 1, and Crites Speaker Style A, B, and C.

They replace the following crossover designs: Type A, Type AA, Type A-4500Hz, Type AL, Type AL-2, Type AL-3, Type AL-4, Type AL-5, Type AK, Type AK-2, Type AK-3, Type AK-4, type AK-5, Type AB, Type AB-2, Type B, Type B-2, Type E, Type E-2, CSS500/5000Hz, CSSS500/5000Hz

These networks are designed for and only offered with Erse 1% capacitors along with high quality low-loss Litz wire air core inductors with an iron core inductor in the woofer circuit.

The low frequency crossover is roughly 400 or 600Hz (actually determined by the acoustic properties of the woofer and midrange driver.

A specially designed autotransformer having low DC resistance tight coupling provides taps to allow squawker level setting changes by the customer. The choices will be 1 to 18 dB in 1 dB steps, Attenuation is selected without soldering by push-on terminals and without cryptic setting tables. The attenuation settings are clearly written by each tap in dB units. The normal setting will be 6 dB. This adjustment will also allow the use of 8 or 16 Ohm squawker drivers without modification.

A adjustable L-Pad is provided to allow the user to select 2, 4, 6, or 8dB attenuation on the tweeter level.

The crossover network provides a constant 6 or 8 ohms load impedance to the amplifier.

These crossovers are hand-built to order and may be a few days to before shipping as we get started in our production process.

Definitely Get These

Long overdue replacements for my Belle Klipsch. Beautifully made and the best part is that they can be adjusted to the sound I prefer. I got rid of the harshness in the midrange. Now they sound like a million bucks. So happy with them. You saved my beloved Belles! Thank you!

Crites Universal III Crossover's

Michael & Amy Crites are great to work with. I purchased the Universal III Crossover for my 1986 AK2 Klipschorns that were already equipped with CT-120 tweeters and A-55G/2 midrange drivers. The change is sound is incredible. I'm glad I went with the Universals which allow me to "tune" the mid's and tweet's to my liking!

ALK Universal-Klipsch LaScala

Originally, my '89 LaScalas came with AL crossovers. Not for me, very dull and listless. Since I have tried AA, A-4500, which got better in clarity and response, but wasn't for me. I now have the ALK Universals installed, and they are for me. Blended, clear, and responsive to hearing subtle musical differences in songs I've never heard before. Low, high volume doesn't matter. I left the settings as they came, even after experimenting with different taps. Very pleased, and can truly experience the music again.
