🎚️ Audiobank AAB-5DXi 5-Way Crossover – Technical FAQ
What is the Audiobank AAB-5DXi?
The Audiobank AAB-5DXi is a 5-way active crossover designed to split your audio signal into five distinct frequency bands. This ensures each speaker receives only the sound it’s built to handle — improving clarity, power, and speaker protection.
What does “5-way” mean?
It means the crossover divides the signal into:
- Subwoofer – deep bass
- Mid-woofer – punchy low-mids
- Bass mid-high – upper bass and lower mids
- Treble – high frequencies
- Super tweeter – ultra-high sparkle
Each output is routed to a specific speaker type, giving you full control over your sound system.
Where is it used?
- Matatu and car audio systems with multiple speaker types
- Mobile sound setups for events and roadshows
- Custom installations with subwoofers, tweeters, and midrange drivers
- Any system needing precise frequency separation
Key Features
- RCA inputs and outputs for easy connection
- Subwoofer low-pass filter for clean bass routing
- Aluminum alloy chassis for durability
- Wired remote control for quick adjustments
