On the online platform 6moons you’ll find an in-depth review of our active analog crossover, the SPL Crossover Mk2. Here’s a brief summary.
“Leave it to the pros at Germany’s SPL to author a proper solution in a high-end-looking 2/3rd-width chassis that flies all of the featurization such a device should have whilst leaving us with two kidneys. That it comes in silver, black or red is mere cherry on the whipped cream; on the cake.”
“All controls are firm and engage reassuringly.”
The SPL VOLTAiR technology…
“…refers to SPL’s discrete op-amps running on ±60V¹ power rails so four times hotter than conventional chips. Their use promises more headroom, higher dynamic range and lower THD+N.”
Sound:
“What the Crossover Mk2 did was bolt on turbo boost for amplitude expressiveness then save me from all the other “active stuff” I don’t want.”
“This presentation packed bigger vertical motion, more scaled jaggedness, fiercer crack.”
“My holy shit moment simply meant the ground floor, more rambunctious fare and higher levels commensurate with a bigger space.”
Conclusion:
“Like a chef’s sharply honed knife, it’s an expert’s tool meant to do a skilful job at slicing and dicing frequency traffic whilst getting entirely out of the way being unfussy and confidently predictable. That it makes our chef work faster – audiophile translation: hearing more dynamic vigour and from it, livelier artistic expression – is the unexpected bonus. That active hence adjustable and directional bass outperforms passive fixed omnidirectional bass goes without saying.”
“Et voilà, a rare highly commendable entry into the niche sector of audiophile-quality outboard filtering to dovetail subs and speakers with precision.”
“The SPL Crossover Mk2 could be an answered prayer for those wanting a reliable solution to the specific problems it solves. Job. Correct tool. Success. Pleasure. The end.”
