Vonyx STP-1 - 2-Way Passive Crossover 1000W

Vonyx STP-1 - 2-Way Passive Crossover 1000W

The Vonyx STP-1 is a two-way passive crossover designed to optimize the performance of your sound system by efficiently and precisely separating audio frequencies. With a power handling capacity of up to 1000W, this device is the ideal solution for PA setups requiring clear distribution of bass and mid/high frequencies between subwoofers and satellite speakers. Its robust design and high-quality components ensure crystal-clear sound reproduction and exceptional reliability at any event.

This passive crossover operates with a fixed cutoff frequency of 180Hz, an ideal crossover point for most subwoofer and main speaker combinations. This separation ensures that the subwoofer handles the low frequencies exclusively, freeing the upper speakers to reproduce the mid and high frequencies with greater clarity and without distortion. The result is a more balanced, powerful, and defined overall sound.

Main features

• 2-Way Passive Crossover: Divides the incoming audio signal into two frequency bands, one for the subwoofer (bass) and one for the top speaker (mid/high).
• High Power Capacity: Capable of handling a maximum input power of 1000W, suitable for high-performance sound systems.
• Fixed Cutoff Frequency: Set at 180Hz, a standard and effective frequency for optimal separation between bass and treble.
• Professional Connectivity: Equipped with Speakon (NL4) input and output connectors, ensuring a secure, stable, and low-loss connection.
• Dedicated Outputs: It has a specific output for the subwoofer ("Subwoofer") and another for the main speaker ("Top"), facilitating a quick and intuitive setup.
• Robust Construction: Its metal casing protects the internal components from shocks and the rigors of use on tours or events, ensuring a long service life.

Product benefits

Integrating the Vonyx STP-1 into your passive sound system will allow you to experience a substantial improvement in audio quality. By directing the correct frequencies to the appropriate speakers, distortion is minimized, system efficiency is increased, and a much clearer and more professional sound response is achieved. It's the simplest and most economical way to convert a full-range system into a passive bi-amplified setup, protecting your speakers and enhancing the listening experience for your audience.

Use cases

The Vonyx STP-1 is perfect for a wide range of applications, from mobile DJs and live bands to permanent installations in bars, conference rooms, or houses of worship. It's the ideal tool for anyone using a passive sound system consisting of subwoofers and satellite speakers who wants to optimize its performance without the need for a digital signal processor or active crossover, which require additional amplifiers and a more complex setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate amplifier for each output (Top and Subwoofer)?
No. As a passive crossover, the STP-1 is placed between a single power amplifier and the speakers. The amplified signal enters the crossover, which then splits it to the subwoofer and the top speaker.

Can I change the cutoff frequency from 180Hz?
No, the Vonyx STP-1's cutoff frequency is fixed and cannot be changed. It has been selected by the manufacturer as an optimal crossover point for most PA applications.

What type of cables do I need?
You will need speaker cables terminated with Speakon connectors for the input from the amplifier and for the outputs to the speakers.

Is it compatible with any brand of speaker?
Yes, as long as the speakers use a Speakon connection and the system impedance and power are compatible, the STP-1 will work with any brand of passive speakers and subwoofers.
