connection
Figure 1 shows connection to a pre-amplifier's main outputs and
returning them to your amplifier inputs.
When installed in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be
crossed overat 80/1
OO
hz,which removes the lowerbass from your
amplifier and speakers thus. enabling them to do a better job
reproducing high frequencies. By utiliZing this method ,you will have
a bi-amplified system, gaining improved power and headroom for
your system.

A
word
about
subwoofer
outputs
The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range
audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover. Some
surround sound processors/receivers, including the
Dolby
AC3
system with their .1 channeloutput,have a "subwooferout"jackthat
is alreadycrossed overand designedto be used with aconventional
amplifier and speaker. Combining both an external crossover and the
one internal to the subwoofer may result in low output and increased
noise. In these cases, to optimize your subwoofer performance you
should bypass the internal crossover in your
Velodyne subwoofer .
To bypass the crossover within the subwoofer , simply locate the
switch marked "out / in" on the back panel of the subwoofer and set
to the "out" position. This will eliminate the internal crossover func-
tion.
Note
If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in
crossover for optimal performance.
Subwoofer ou t from
AN
Processor
From the low pass output of your signal processor Install into right or
left RCA line in connector in the back of the subwoofer or use a "Y"
connector adapter into both right and left RCA line in connectors in
the back of the subwoofer.
Speaker-level connection
Figure 2 shows an easy way to connect your VA·810/1012XII
subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier.
When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be
crossed over at 80/1OOhz, which removes the lower bass from your
speakers thus, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high
freque ncies.
You may also connect your satellites directly to your receiver or
amplifier along with the subwoofer if you wish to bypass the internal
high-pass crosso ver.
