3 way crossover calculator

Remote work doesn’t just mean being able to hire across the country. To truly reap the benefits, you need to be hiring across mountains, deserts, and oceans. But with that, comes the challenge of managing teams across time zones. As a fully distributed team ourselves, we understand how that can get tricky. That’s why we’re especially excited to share the launch of our latest tool: the Time Zone Crossover Calculator. In this blog post, we explore how you can use this tool to calculate crossover in your future colleagues’ working hours and discover new locations to hire from globally.Collaborating across time zonesWhether you’re new to global hiring or not, by now, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve been faced with some time zone math. Finding a time for a synchronous team meeting can get complicated when you have a teammates on opposites sides of an ocean, and while there are plenty of ways to effectively manage a remote team across time zones, time differences can certainly be a consideration when building out your team.Let’s say you’re an HR manager at a company in Germany, and are trying to hire a senior product designer, but are having a hard time finding qualified candidates. With such a collaborative role, you’re concerned about hiring someone outside of your time zone since meetings are quite common. It would be great if there was a way to easily identify which countries have time zone overlap, and start sourcing candidates from there, right? That’s exactly where Oyster’s Time Zone Crossover Calculator comes in. With it, you can now:Identify new countries and regions that still have at least five hours of crossover time so you can expand your hiring pool, but not dramatically alter your workflowUnderstand how your team falls on the asynchronous work scale, and make moves to improve it (if you want to!)How does the Time Zone Crossover Calculator work?Using the Time Zone Crossover Calculator is simple (and free) for hiring managers everywhere.To use it, start by selecting your location. Then, identify the level of overlap you’re comfortable with. The benefits and challenges of each level are outlined within the tool. For example, if you’re a hiring manager who’s relatively new to remote work, or if your team is primarily in one centralized location, you may choose to hire in a country with 5+ hours of overlap. This allows you to still collaborate effectively with your new hire through synchronous meetings and calls throughout the day, but you’d have to make some adjustments since you’re not working the exact same hours.Alternatively, if you’re very comfortable with the idea of asynchronous work, you may choose to expand your search to countries with just one hour of

Same frequencies. Even with crossovers, both speakers will produce sound for several octaves beyond the crossover point. If this problem occurs, there will be a noticeable dip in the frequency response at the crossover point. To solve this problem, wire one, but not both, of the speakers backwards (+ to -). Usually, phase shift problems only occur with 2nd order (or 6th order) crossovers, but can also occur when using multiple 2-way crossovers in a 3-way (or more) speaker system. The only way to really find and fix a phase shift problem is trying all possibilities in reversing the speaker leads. If reversing the leads makes the system sound louder, then you know you have fixed the problem. What is inductive coupling? When using more than one inductor in a crossover, the electro-magnetic fields of the inductors can interfere with each other causing an unpleasant result. That is why it is best to keep the inductors as far apart as possible. Also, keep the fields out of phase with each other by rotating the inductors 90 degrees. It is possible to have 3 inductors out of phase, as shown below. Why do I need high quality crossover components? Both inductors and capacitors will have some resistance. Usually, it is small but sometimes it can be greater than the resistance of the speaker itself. Since the entire crossover network is based on the resistance of the speakers, this can be very bad. For an 8 ohm woofer with a low crossover point, the inductor in the low pass filter could be 16 ohms, or even higher. With a combined load of 24 ohms, the amp would not be putting out anywhere near as much power as it should. There are several ways around this problem. The first is to buy expensive components. What type of inductor should I buy? Inductors are usually just a coil of copper wire, sometimes hundreds of feet long. Copper is the only realistic material to use. One way to lower resistance is to use thicker wire. You can purchase a more expensive coil that uses a heavy gauge wire. Moving from 19g to 14g increases the price by at least 5x's. Using silver increases the cost another 20x's. There are also copper foil inductors which are more expensive, but work somewhat better. Some inductors have iron or ferrite cores in the middle of the coil. This core decreases the amount of copper wire needed for the coil, and therefore lowers the resistance. The problem is that these cores cause some distortion. For smaller inductors, use one without a core - an air core inductor. For the larger inductors required for the woofer's crossover, an air core inductor might not be feasible. In these cases, use a ferrite core. If you want to try to make your own inductor to save money, check out the Inductor Calculator for information on winding your own coils. What type of capacitor should I buy? For capacitors, a polar Electrolytic capacitor
