Introduction
Project 09 has been very popular since it was first introduced, back in 1999. It's still just as valid as it ever was, and is ideal for being incorporated into preamps
and power amps. Being 2-way, many people have had to assemble up to 3 boards to get a full 4-way active system operational. Hardly a great chore, but there
are very good reasons to have an alternative. The alternative is a 2, 3 or 4-way mono system, designed so that each speaker has its own crossover - just add the
amplifiers of your choice. The photo below shows the completed board. Only the muting relays have not been installed, but the board is fully functional, and
has been tested. The photo shows the original PCB, but the new version (without errors) is almost identical to look at.
The circuit is straightforward, but there are some parts that require explanation - especially the configurations for 2-way and 3-way. The first stage is a balanced
input. This can be wired for unbalanced if you prefer, but if used in a speaker box there are good reasons to use a balanced input. Because the interconnects may
be fairly long, using balanced a connection helps guard against noise pickup.
The second stage is a simple non-inverting amplifier, and is configured for the gain you need. The default (as shown below) is 6dB, but this can be increased or
reduced to suit your application. The gain stage is located after the volume control, so there should be little risk of overload.
