switch
The master power switch is located on the right half of the unit. This
rocker style switch is the main on/off for the unit. This switch should
be set to position 1 for on (up), 0 for off (down).

installed in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be
crossed over at 80/1OOhz which removes the lower bass from your
amplifier and speakers, enabling them to do a better job reproduc-
ing high frequencies. By utilizing this method, you will have a bi-
amplified system, gaining improved power and headroom for your
syste m.

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
sys-
tem with there .1 channel outputs, have a "subwoofer out" jack that
is already crossed over and designed to be used with a conve ntional
amplifier and speaker. Combining bothan externalcrossover 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 cross over in your
Velodyne subwoofer.
To bypass the crossover within the subwoofer, simply locate the
~
switch marked "normal/bypass" on the back panel of the subwoofer
and set to the "bypass" position. This will eliminate the internal
crossover function.
Note
If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in
crossover for optimal performance.

When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be

OOh
z, which removes the lower bass from your
speakers thus, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high
frequencies.
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 crossover.
