The original circuit had a switch for bypass and another to adjust the "perspective" of the crossfeed effect. Because I was aiming to spend as little money as possible, I made some changes to the modified Linkwitz crossfeed that is presented by Chu Moy. You may even have some of the parts lying around from other projects. If you cut the cost of enclosure, protoboard, and tools, you can probably build one with very little money. Step 2: Tools & ComponentsOther than the cost of shipping, the components required to build this circuit are fairly cheap.
Mono recordings and music that generally sits "in the middle" will not benefit from a crossfeed much, or at all. Music from live performances and orchestras sound particularly good with a crossfeed. While it does not give the illusion of surround sound, it does give you the feeling of listening to audio from speakers in front of you rather than through headphones on your ears. A crossfeed circuit bleeds the left and right channels just a bit to give off that lost sense of direction. To remedy this, we welcome the crossfeed. When you listen to audio with headphones, this directional information is lost. You may be hearing to the right of you, but your brain also interprets if the sound is close, far, in front of, or behind you. Your brain recieves signals from both ears and interprets the direction from which the sound is coming from. Do you only hear them with your right ear? In reality, you're hearing with both. In real life, you always hear sound with both ears. Step 1: What is a crossfeed? (Theory)When you hear sounds panned hard right/left with headphones, you don't hear anything in your other ear. I take no credit for this design, only my simple modifications. This particular design was modified by Chu Moy, the person responsible for the famous "cmoy" headphone amp design. In this instructable, I will show my build of a Linkwitz crossfeed. The main goal is to reduce fatigue and make headphone listening natural and pleasant. Its purpose is to improve the soundstage. Rather, it is designed to simulate the feeling of hearing audio in front of you. It is not designed to give the illusion that you're in an auditorium with reverb.

Unlike software implementations, what I will show here is a simple hardware solution to get rid of the "in-head" effect that headphones have. Results vary, as there is coloration to the sound and the simulations can be very invasive to listening. This is usually achieved through software.

Intro: Cheap Acoustic Simulator (Crossfeed) for HeadphonesHi! Welcome to my second instructable! Don't forget to rate and comment! :D First off, what is an "acoustic simulator"? It can be anything to simulate the effect of being in a room, creating an effect of open space, or even give the illusion of hearing sounds from different directions.
