- Attempted to match resistance in each part of the Sub-Bass Filter perfectly:
- Number of resistors in filter: 9
- Number of resistors needed for perfect value matching: 15
- Difficult to use exact resistance values because:
- Exact resistor value doesn't exist, needs to be realized by a series and/or parallel combination of resistors
- Resistor value too expensive:
- costs more than $0.20 for one resistor
- requires a minimum order of say 200 units
- More resistors -> Larger PCB -> more expensive product
- Ultimately, this is a personal project, a prototype, want to keep the cost down as much as possible, this is NOT a scientific measuring device, output of filters need just need to be within a certain threshold, care more about the dB visualization
- (Obviously) percentage difference between ideal and implemented resistor values matters more than absolute difference
- Differential between ideal and implemented values seems to balance itself out once all resistors have been selected
- Finished sourcing resistors for all filters
