  Reality television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people instead of professional actors.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused productions such as Big Brother.
In hoax reality shows, the entire show is a prank played on one or more of the cast members, who think they are appearing in a legitimate reality show; the rest of the cast are actors who are in on the joke.

 The Acoustic Reality Series Crossover, AR-SXO
When you insert a series capacitor to the tweeter you can also add notch and zobel to the tweeter without affecting the response and impedance to the woofer.
The difference compared to existing series crossovers is the method the component values are selected to make it impedance linear and to get control of the crossover point, while being able to re-configure the crossover to an impedance linear parallel crossover using the same component values for bi-amplify.
However, this problem is also solved by the Acoustic Reality Series Crossover; it is impedance linear in the crossover point.
