This versatile crossover module implements  the EX-560i two-way crossover with large high quality parts or alternately may be programmed to drive an upstage high-mounted second Tweeter. This dual functionality is jumper selectable. In simple two-way mode the tapped inductor design in the EX-560i is used. Dual jumpers moved together change the crossover to upstage mode. In the upstage mode the drive to the mid-woofer and Tweeter are tapered off to interface with the upstage Tweeter. This tapering is adjustable with three "L" settings and two "C" settings. This alters the crossover frequency and response shape (damping). The image Tweeter furthermore has seven selectable levels available. Upstage crossover is typically at 8kHz. Main Tweeter crossover is transient optimized at 3.7kHz. No protectors are used. Tweeters: DRT-25S drt-25  1" Silk Dome Tweeter Cooled by ferrofluid Neodymium magnet Surface and flush mount mounts The DRT-25 Tweeters are also unique. They are a 25 mm (1") silk exended range dome design with a neodymium magnet and ferrofluid filled voice coil gap to give sound and power handling that typically requires a much larger* speaker. All Sound Above the Dash! StageFront "UpStage" Ready System , remove the distracting and low image sound effects from your conventional systems drivers and move your sound onto a seamless sound stage directly in front of you up above the dash. Simple, Easy, Amazing! For the first time ever, car stereo audiophiles can enjoy a true"UpStage" seamless sound stage directly in front of them up above the dashboard. A stereo image and a soundstage in their cars that is just as deep, wide and up above the dash and as stable as they are used to at a live concert and from serious high end home audio speakers. This incredibly up-high and stable image, comes from an amazing new design and engineering concept called StageFront© technology. The new ES-200US xover has it all built in, 2-way "Transient Optimized 24dB elliptic xover and UpStage design all in one xover unit. Attending the live event The impact of StageFront technology UpStage System is immediately obvious - the voices and instruments seem to magically take shape in a seamless sound stage directly in front of you above the dash. The result is to create a listening experience that is much more like the experience of attending the live event - the musicians and sound sources seem to be arrayed in front of you as if you were sitting at the live concert first row. Several psycho-acoustic effects need to be accomplished in order for this to work so well.
