■ Tri-mode
With the KAC-PS500F, a subwoofer can be added easily to the speaker system by marking
use of the properties of coils and capacitors. This mode of operation is called Tri-mode.

●Principle of Tri-mode
Method of frequency band division using a coil and capacitor•••in case of 6dB/oct. slope
L C
0 dB
-3 dB
Coil (L): Passes low frequencies and blocks high
frequencies. (Low pass)
Capacitor (C): Passes high frequencies and blocks low
frequencies. (High pass)

fc=Cut of Frequency (Hz)
R=Speaker Impedance (
Ω )
● Example:
When it is required to set a crossover frequency of 120 Hz using speakers with an
impedance of 4 ohms.
Prepare commercially-available coil and capacitor with the closest ratings to the results calculated
from the formula above. The capacitor rating should be as close as possible to 331.25 (µF) and
the coil rating should be as close as possible to 5.3 (mH).
Be sure to connect a capacitor to the high-pass speaker. Failure to connect a capacitor will result
in a drop of the combined impedance with the woofer.
