Description
Product Overview
The SMD Damore Engineering CC1 Crossover Calibrator is a compact, digitally controlled instrument designed for exacting audio crossover adjustments. Housed in a rugged ABS enclosure measuring 7.87 x 5.83 x 2.28 inches and weighing just 13.7 ounces, the unit combines portability with durability. Inside, a microprocessor‑driven circuit guarantees a -3dB point accuracy of +/-0.25dB, ensuring that each driver in a multi‑way speaker system receives the precise frequency range intended. The calibrator features a clear LCD display, a low‑battery LED that activates when voltage drops below 6.5VDC, and an automatic shut‑off timer that powers down the device 8‑10 minutes after the ON button is pressed, extending battery life during extended tuning sessions.
Usage
Designed for professional audio installers, home theater integrators, and serious hobbyists, the CC1 excels in environments where crossover precision is critical. Whether you are fine‑tuning a high‑end bookshelf speaker, calibrating a car audio system, or setting up a large‑venue sound reinforcement array, the calibrator provides real‑time feedback that speeds up the alignment process. Its intuitive interface allows users to quickly set target frequencies, monitor deviation, and make incremental adjustments without the need for external software. The device operates on a standard 9V battery, making it ideal for on‑site work where mains power is unavailable.
Why Choose Us
SMD Damore Engineering has a reputation for engineering excellence in audio components. The CC1 reflects that heritage through its digital microprocessor core, which eliminates the drift and noise associated with analog calibrators. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality testing, including temperature cycling and electromagnetic compatibility checks, to ensure reliable performance in demanding installations. The low‑battery LED and auto‑shut‑off features demonstrate a commitment to user convenience and energy efficiency, reducing the risk of unexpected power loss during critical tuning phases.

FAQ
What type of battery does the CC1 use?
The calibrator is powered by a standard 9V alkaline battery, which provides several hours of continuous operation. The low‑battery LED warns you when the voltage drops below 6.5VDC, so you can replace the battery before performance is affected.
Can the CC1 be used for both passive and active crossover networks?
Yes, the device measures the acoustic output of each driver and can be applied to both passive component‑based crossovers and active DSP‑controlled systems, making it versatile for a wide range of installations.
Is the CC1 compatible with other brands of crossover equipment?
The CC1 operates independently of the crossover brand. It simply measures the output at the speaker terminals, so it works with any crossover topology as long as you can access the driver outputs for measurement.
How does the auto‑shut‑off timer work?
After you press the ON button, the calibrator will automatically power down after a period of 8 to 10 minutes of inactivity. This feature helps preserve battery life during field work where the device may be left on unintentionally.
What is the warranty on the CC1?
SMD Damore Engineering offers a one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Registration on the company website extends support and provides access to firmware updates.
