To bypass the subwoofer's internal crossover when the unit is being fed
a low pass signal from another crossover, simply locate the switch marked
X-over, OUT - IN on the rear panel of the subwoofer and set to the OUT
position. This will eliminate the internal crossover from the signal path.
Note. . .
If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in crossover
for optimal performance. When using a single channel input signal
(such as a surround sound processor's subwoofer out, or LFE) the auto
on/off circuit sensitivity will be affected. When one input channel is
used instead of two, the unit will see lower signal levels present at the
inputs. This may cause the unit to turn off when listening at low volume
levels. If this occurs, simply use a "Y" adapter (available from most
dealers) to allow your processor's single sub line to be fed into both L&R
inputs. The use of a "Y" adapter will also make the unit turn on at lower
signal levels.
Speaker-level connection
Figure 2 shows an easy way to connect your Velodyne subwoofer directly
to your receiver or integrated amplifier.
When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed
over at 80/100Hz, which removes the lower bass from your speakers,
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.
Caution!!!
To avoid damage to your main amplifier, be sure to maintain correct
polarity when making all connections. Red (positive) to red, and black
(negative) to black. Be sure that all connections are tight, and that there
are no loose strands or frayed wires.
