Step 13Hook Everything Up

Hook Everything Up
I already had a Rane AC23 stereo three-way active crossover and a bunch of preamps and amps.

What's going on in the photo is:

The iPod (full of 256K VBR MP3's) runs to the TCC TC-754.

The TC-754 runs to the Rane.

I have the Rane set up to split the audio signal into three chunks: 0-70Hz, 70-800Hz, 800Hz and up.

The 0-70Hz chunk goes to the subwoofer.

The 70-800Hz chunk goes to the Dayton DTA-100 30-watts-per-channel amplifier. The DTA-100 goes to the 2225 speakers.

The 800Hz-and-up chunk goes to the Sonic Impact T-Amp 6-watts-per-channel amplifier. The T-Amp goes to both the Altecs (via an L-pad that pads each Altec down so it's the same volume as its supertweeter) and the supertweeters (each via a capacitor, which keeps sub-8K frequencies from hitting it).
