The Tube (valve) crossover shown here is a 3 pole lowpass and
highpass used for a 2 way crossover design. The circuit needs
+150VDC and 6.3V filament power for its operation. A suitable
power supply is shown on these pages as SUPPLY1.GIF.

The circuit is a modification of a unity gain non-inverting
Sallen-Key circuit that provides 18 dB per octave rolloff
characteristics. The center frequency shown on the schematic,
but may be modified to any frequency with suitable scaling.
Some representative value changes are shown in this document.

A 3 way crossover may be implemented by cascading two similar
circuits as:

in---------- xover hp----------------------------high freq amp
                   lp----xover hp----------------mid freq amp
                               lp----------------low freq amp
