Description
The Citronic CX34 is an active crossover that splits an audio signal by frequency so each band reaches the right amplifier. It runs as a 2 or 3-way stereo unit, or as a 4-way mono unit, giving you flexibility depending on how your PA is built. In practice, low frequencies are sent to the amp driving your sub cabinets while mid and top frequencies go to the amp handling your mid/top cabs. Splitting the work this way is more efficient and tends to give more accurate sound, which matters most in larger systems.
Filtering uses a Linkwitz-Riley design at 24dB per octave, with a state-variable topology and continuously adjustable cutoff frequencies. The crossover ranges cover 45 to 960Hz, switchable up ten times to 450Hz to 9.6kHz, so you can set the split points to suit your drivers. There is a 40Hz ultra-low frequency cut to protect subs from unwanted content below the usable band, plus a phase invert function to correct alignment between cabinets. All inputs and outputs are on XLR, with balanced input impedance of 50k ohms and unbalanced at 25k ohms.
Housed in a 1U 19-inch rack case (US: rack chassis), the CX34 measures 482 x 44 x 170mm and weighs 2.5kg, so it slots into a standard rack alongside your amps and processing. The power supply accepts 115 or 230Vac at 50/60Hz via IEC. Frequency response is 20Hz to 20kHz within +0/-0.5dB, signal to noise ratio is better than 90dB, and THD sits below 0.004% at +4dBu, 1kHz. It is a straightforward tool for anyone building a multi-way active PA rig.

Frequently Asked
What crossover configurations does the CX34 support?
It works as a 2 or 3-way stereo crossover, or as a 4-way mono crossover, so you can match it to how your PA cabinets and amps are arranged.
What filter slope does it use?
It uses a Linkwitz-Riley filter at 24dB per octave with a state-variable design and continuously adjustable cutoff frequencies.
What are the crossover frequency ranges?
The ranges cover 45 to 960Hz, switchable up ten times to 450Hz to 9.6kHz, letting you set split points to suit your drivers.
What connections does the CX34 use?
Inputs and outputs are on XLR. Balanced input impedance is 50k ohms, unbalanced is 25k ohms, and output impedance is 200 ohms.
Will it fit a standard rack?
Yes. It is a 1U 19-inch rack mountable unit measuring 482 x 44 x 170mm and weighing 2.5kg.
What does the 40Hz cut and phase invert do?
The 40Hz ultra-low frequency cut removes content below the usable band to protect subs, while phase invert corrects alignment between cabinets.
