The CN-500 jack plate/crossover is designed for pro audio technicians, venue operators, and touring musicians who need reliable replacement parts for passive PA speakers. When your speaker's crossover fails during a critical performance, this component gets you back online fast.

This passive crossover network divides your full-range signal at 2.5 kHz with an 18 dB slope, sending appropriate frequencies to your woofer and tweeter for balanced sound reproduction. The crossover point is optimized for typical two-way PA speaker configurations used in live sound applications.

The 18 dB per octave slope provides clean frequency separation between drivers, reducing distortion and protecting your tweeter from damaging low frequencies. At 2.5 kHz, this crossover works well with most 12" and 15" two-way PA speakers commonly found in clubs, churches, and mobile DJ setups. The complete jack plate assembly weighs 1.34 pounds and includes all necessary mounting hardware.

This replacement crossover is compatible with passive PA and DJ speakers that use similar crossover specifications. Perfect for repair shops maintaining rental fleets, venues with house sound systems, or bands who carry backup parts on tour. The crossover handles the power levels typical of mid-range PA speakers used in venues seating 100-400 people.

Installation requires basic soldering skills to connect your speaker's woofer and tweeter leads. The jack plate mounts using standard hardware found on most passive PA speaker cabinets.

Seismic Audio backs the CN-500 with a one-year warranty and ships nationwide. Professional-grade replacement parts that keep your sound system running when reliability matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What speakers is the CN-500 crossover compatible with?

The CN-500 works with passive two-way PA and DJ speakers that use a 2.5 kHz crossover point with 18 dB slopes. This includes most 12" and 15" passive PA speakers commonly used in live sound applications. Check your original speaker specifications to confirm the crossover frequency matches before ordering.

What venue sizes work best with speakers using this crossover?

Speakers equipped with the CN-500 crossover typically handle venues seating 100-400 people, such as small to medium clubs, churches, school auditoriums, and outdoor events. The 2.5 kHz crossover point is optimized for PA speakers that provide main sound reinforcement in these mid-size spaces.

Do I need special tools to install this crossover replacement?

Installation requires basic soldering equipment and skills to connect your speaker's woofer and tweeter leads to the crossover terminals. You'll also need standard screwdrivers to mount the jack plate to your speaker cabinet. The crossover includes mounting hardware but you'll need to supply your own speaker wire.

How does the 18 dB slope compare to other crossover designs?

The 18 dB per octave slope provides steeper frequency separation than 12 dB crossovers, resulting in cleaner sound with less overlap between your woofer and tweeter. This steeper slope better protects your tweeter from low-frequency damage while ensuring each driver operates in its optimal frequency range.

Can this crossover handle high-power PA speakers?

The CN-500 is designed for mid-range passive PA speakers commonly found in club and church installations. If you're running high-powered speakers over 500 watts RMS or professional touring-grade cabinets, verify the crossover's power handling specifications match your speaker's requirements before installation.
