Accuphase DF-75 Digital Frequency Dividing Network

The DF-75 is the successor to the highly acclaimed DF-65. This crossover is ideal for bi-amping or tri-amping large systems, and it excels in setups with a pair of subwoofers.

The Accuphase DF-75 Digital Active Crossover harnesses the very best of digital technology in every aspect, including a high-speed 40-bit floating point DSP. The standard unit configuration supports signal processing for up to four-way systems. Highly accurate digital filters offer a choice of 3101 selectable cutoff frequency points and up to 96 dB/octave attenuation. Integrated time alignment function adjustable in 0.5-cm steps, and delay compensator for automatically offsetting any filter circuit delays. Monophonic output mode provides high versatility for various configurations.

High-speed, high-precision DSP implements fully digital signal processing. Designed to serve as the core component of a multi amp system, the channel divider DF-75 features high-speed digital signal processing with amazing power. Latest digital circuit topology and advanced technology come together in a floating-point DSP that has a 32-bit mantissa and 8-bit exponent section, serving as digital filter. The division into mantissa and exponent prevents errors even when handling very small values.This results in dramatically improved dynamic range and superior precision, allowing very steep cut off slope settings of 48 dB or 96 dB per octave. All other functions including phase, delay, and level control are also implemented in the digital domain. The result is ultra-precise filtering free from adverse effects by temperature changes or aging.

Six filter slope characteristics with up to 96 dB attenuation per octave. The filter attenuation characteristics can be set to 6 dB, 12 dB, 18 dB, 24 dB, 48 dB, or 96 dB per octave. The 96 dB/octave setting in particular allows the driver unit to reproduce only its intended frequency without being affected by adjacent frequency bands. This makes it possible to create a multi amp system that takes musical accuracy to a wholly new level.
