Tweeter Protection

OK, you won't be surprised when I tell you that such testing lies outwith my frame of reference.

According to post #14, rsmex has more knowledge about the topic than I have.

And there was I with the temerity to tutor him about crossovers!
I appreciate any advice I can read all the information going but to really get it I need to do it practically as long as the tweeters have got a bit of protection so I can start taking measurements pretty sure in the long run I'll be safe without protection thanks

Hi all managed to remove passive crossovers & fitted the 3.9uf for tweeter protection & get up & running with Beocreate 4 dsp amp even tried with full range to tweeters & 3.9uf protected the tweeters I've set basic crossover points from datasheet of tweeter & mid woofer no I need to start measuring with REW so would I be better off taking measurements with just the 3.9uf protecting the tweeters without setting any crossover points in the dsp plan to upgrade tweeters & mid woofer in the long run once I learn to use rew & dsp thanks for your advice
 
Hi yes first time with dsp rewired speakers 2 way Ruark Talisman 11 fitting 3.9uf capacitors to protect tweeters set basic crossover points from datasheet of the Seas drivers in hifiberry dsp also tried full range to both drivers & they were fine once I get the hang of dsp I'm going to replace drivers had the loudspeaker from new need tidy up but planning on taking measurements outside would I be right in thinking better measurement with no crossover filters but the capacitor for protection if I damage tweeters then I'll replace sooner pretty taking the measurements & seeing results in REW is the way to totally understand how it all works thanks
 
Soon you'll stop seeing the DSP as having selectable crossover frequencies and start seeing it as giving you a response shape to suit the acoustic needs. Then you'll find a solution regardless of whether you use the capacitor.
