This book deals with the design of active crossovers for multi-way loudspeaker systems. It is, to the best of my knowledge, the first book that concentrates wholly on the subject. It is a unique collection of detailed information on crossover design. It will contain a lot of wholly original information that I have worked out over the last twelve months. A detailed synopsis of the chapter contents is given below.

The book comprises about 580 pages; that is a lot of information.

I try to make sure everything I write is wholly free from errors. I fail. There are some typos which are listed here: Errata
