Hertz MLCX 2 TW.3 Legend Component Crossovers

The Hertz MLCX 2 TW.3 Legend Component Crossovers offer audiophiles unparalleled control over their sound system, enabling precise tuning of the crossover points and speaker placement for an enhanced listening experience. These crossovers are designed to optimize the performance of Hertz’s MLK 1650.3, ML 1800.3, and ML 280.3 components, allowing for bi-amplification and fine-tuned frequency adjustments, ensuring the best possible audio reproduction in your car.

Key Features

Bi-Amplification Capability: The MLCX 2 TW.3 allows you to connect two separate amplifiers to the crossover, enabling independent power to the woofer and tweeter. This bi-amping configuration significantly increases the system's power handling, revealing more dynamic and detailed sound from your Hertz Legend components.

Mid-Contour and Hi-Contour Controls: These two-position controls allow you to adjust the woofer and tweeter cutoff frequencies to tailor the system’s response. Adjust the Mid-Contour for more accurate mid-bass frequencies based on your woofer placement, while the Hi-Contour helps optimize tweeter performance by adjusting the crossover point, compensating for the tweeter’s position relative to the listener.

Fine-Tuned Frequency Adjustments: The crossover features Mid-Contour and Hi-Contour settings that provide flexibility in adjusting the frequency response to suit the unique acoustics of your vehicle. The Hi-Boost control further enhances tweeter performance above 10 kHz, improving clarity and reducing diffraction when the tweeter is off-axis.

Tweeter Level Adjustments: A three-position switch allows you to adjust the tweeter’s output by +2 dB, 0 dB, or -2 dB in 2 dB steps, allowing you to tailor the high-frequency emission to your preference.

High-Power Handling: With a power handling capacity of 150W RMS and 300W peak, the MLCX 2 TW.3 is built to handle high output from your amplifiers without sacrificing sound quality or clarity.

Precision Components: The MLCX 2 TW.3 uses high-quality bi-metallized 160V polyester film capacitors with ultra-low dissipation factor (DF) for maximum transparency, ensuring crisp and clear mid and high frequencies. Air-wound inductors are made from pure copper wire, which reduces losses and ensures high current handling for optimal woofer performance. The high-power wirewound resistors ensure reliable performance even under high temperatures, maintaining stability throughout the system's operation.
