Crossover Networks
Tecate has a long-standing reputation as an industry leader in the manufacture of crossover networks. Since 1986, we have worked with the largest names in the speaker business to produce custom crossovers for the home, car, studio, and stadium. Our San Diego engineering team, along with our Asia production partner, allows us to offer well-designed, quality networks at competitive prices.
