How to determine the value of an inductor
« on: 13 Oct 2023, 03:50 pm »
Hello, speaker building collective!

How does one determine the value of an inductor in a crossover network? The caps and resistors are clearly marked, but the inductors somehow are not.

Is there a way for a hobbyist to find out?

Cheers,

David

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Tô meter the inductance there is a calc formulae.

You really need a meter that will measure inductance.

Any of those will work fine.
