ESB Audio 8.6K2 CX — 8000 Series 2-Way Passive Crossover (pair) | HF Audio Labs

A Reference-Grade Passive Crossover for ESB 8000 Series Two-Way Systems

The ESB 8.6K2 CX is the premium passive crossover for the 8000 Series two-way driver combination — using the same 99.9% pure copper air-wound coils, bi-metallized capacitors, gold-plated jumpers, and anti-inductive aluminum-body resistors as the 8.6K3 CX, applied to the two-way crossover function between the 8.165 woofer and 8.028 or 8.028S tweeter.

Multi-amp or single amp compatible. Clear acrylic cover. Gold-plated components throughout. Built to a standard consistent with the 8000 Series drivers it connects.

System Application

The 8.6K2 CX is used with the 8.6K2 and 8.6K2S speaker systems and is available as a standalone component for custom two-way 8000 Series builds.

HF Audio Perspective

A passive crossover for an 8000 Series system should not be the limiting element in the signal path. The 8.6K2 CX was built so that it is not. For builders committed to a passive two-way 8000 Series front stage, the 8.6K2 CX provides the crossover function the system deserves — built to the same standard of care that the 8.165 and 8.028 represent.
