Looking for Quality Sound? - Not Much Here! Sunday, November 1, 2009 Persistence! from Meridian, ID
When I first received one of these I thought it sounded good. (It was my first active cross-over.) When it went in for repair I picked up a used Rane AC22. It was a night and day difference. The Rane in comparison had a really solid characteristic to its sound that the CX3400 did not have. I received a new CX3400 as a replacement under warranty and re-installed it in the system to verify that it worked. I found its sound unacceptable after I got used to the Rane. I will never use it if I have another option.
The CX3400 may have one practical use: Using it with very muddy speakers. It has a very thin even brittle and weak sound to it. I've used it to give a more pleasing and clear perceived sound on a very muddy systems lacking high frequency energy and having excessive low mid energy (A System without an EQ). This is the only scenario I would possible recommend this unit for.
