IN DEVELOPMENT · REV 2027.4 (DRAFT) · DESIGN TARGETS, NOT MEASUREMENTS

HUSH M4 is in development. This draft is published on zakkhutoretsky.com; it has no price and no ordering. Figures marked design target are goals for the finished product. Figures marked calculated come from the published formulas. No value on these pages was measured on a built unit. Interviews are cited as the design brief, not as an endorsement.

S3a Isolator building block

Sallen-Key building block for the isolatorA second-order Butterworth low-pass and high-pass Sallen-Key section with equal resistors and equal capacitors; two in cascade make one Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB per octave filter.S3a ISOLATOR BUILDING BLOCK — 2nd-order Butterworth Sallen-Key (two in cascade = LR4)Low-pass sectionHigh-pass sectionINR153.6k*R253.6k*C210 nFC110 nF−+OAK = 1.59Rf5.9kRg10kOUTINC110 nFC210 nFR253.6k*R153.6k*−+OAK = 1.59Rf5.9kRg10kOUT*R = 53.6k for the 300 Hz crossover (f0 = 296.9 Hz) and 5.36k for 3 kHz (f0 = 2969 Hz); C = 10 nF; K = 1 + Rf/Rg =1.590, Q = 1/(3 − K) = 0.709 (Butterworth: 0.707).

ItemValue / formula
SectionSecond-order Butterworth Sallen-Key, equal resistors and equal capacitors, f0 = 1/(2πRC), K = 1 + Rf/Rg = 3 − 1/QR3
LR4Two cascaded sections give a Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/oct filter, each stage Q = 0.71R4
ValuesC = 10 nF. 300 Hz: R = 53.6k (f0 = 296.9 Hz). 3 kHz: R = 5.36k (f0 = 2969 Hz). Rg = 10k, Rf = 5.9k gives K = 1.59, Q = 0.709
