MMC 6500 crossover slopes?

The manual says 12db/octave, but if you look at them, it doesn't look possible. From my uneducated point of view, it looks more like a 6db with zoble slope for the mid and an 18db high pass for the tweeter.

Does anyone know if this is the case? Maybe the crossoves were updated since the manual was printed? I'd love to see the printed circuit side, but don't want to break them apart. :rolleyes:

The crossover I have does not have a true bandpass mid section, so I was hoping to retain the lowpass for the mid, but don't want to screw the orders/phase relationships up.

    From one of our engineers:

    The low-pass on the woofer can fool some people since it has the same components as a 1st order with a zobel, but it's really a damped 2nd order (the cap and resistor aren't there for impedance equalization like a proper zobel)

    OK,

    That solves that mystery.

    How about the high-pass, why are there two capacitors?

    Also, the circuit board says 5250, is it the same?

    Thanks!
