Capacitor and Coil Calculator

Impedance	Frequency

Ohms	Hertz (Hz)

1^st Order (6 dB per Octave) (diagrams)

L1 (mHy) = (1000 x Impedance) / (6.283 x Crossover Frequency)

Coil - L1

Millihenries (mHy)

C1 (µfd) = 1,000,000 / (6.283 x Impedance x Crossover Frequency)

Capacitor - C1

Microfarads (µfd)

2^nd Order (12 dB per Octave) (diagrams)

L2 = L1 x 1.414

Coil - L2

Millihenries (mHy)

C2 = C1 x .707

Capacitor - C2

Microfarads (µfd)

3^rd Order (18 dB per Octave) (diagrams)

L3 = L1 x 1.5

Coil - L3

Millihenries (mHy)

C3 = C1 x .1.33

Capacitor - C3

Microfarads (µfd)

L4 = L1 x .5

Coil - L4

Millihenries (mHy)

C4 = C1 x .667

Capacitor - C4

Microfarads (µfd)

L5 = L1 x .75

Coil - L5

Millihenries (mHy)

C5 = C1 x 2

Capacitor - C5

Microfarads (µfd)
