Crossover upgrade for Elac Debut f5.2
« on: 3 May 2020, 01:15 am »
Hello - Hope all is well your way. I stumbled onto your youtube page as I’ve always been interested in speaker design/building and I’m finally looking to get my feet wet at 47 years of age. Better late than never I suppose. On the Elac B6 upgrade video you made recently, I believe you mentioned that you had received a crossover network from the Elac f5.2, which is what I have, and that you had mapped it out and assembled a list of replacement components for it, but I can’t seem to find your information or parts list anywhere. Could you point me in the right direction?

I love my Elacs and they sound great, but I‘m hoping an xo upgrade will make them a bit more forward in the midrange as well as a bit smoother and more revealing on the top end. Bass could use a little help too. Thoughts? After looking at the stock xo (pretty sad), I’m certain an upgrade to components can only help them.

Thanks in advance!

I did map it out.

I've needed to get those parts together and get a total for everything. I have just been slammed and haven't gotten it taken care of yet.

Some of the cap values in the lower woofer circuit are quite big. And they also form part of the high pass filter to the upper woofer. So it will really help to get those electrolytic caps out of the signal path. But it will be  pricey as they are big values. And that will just be stepping up to the Erse poly caps. The pair will require six of the 100uF value. And I didn't have that many in stock for that value. So I had to order some more.

I also have a pair of Elac F5.2's that I wanted to upgrade the crossovers. Can Danny post an upgrade list/cost here or should I contact him directly?

Yes, I mapped it all out and have a parts total and everything for them.

Just shoot me an email and I'll get you prices on everything.
