VRP User’s Manual
T
o alleviate this condition, we recommend the following steps:
1
) If using line level jacks, BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT INPUT SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED
– never use just the left or just the right input. If the subwoofer’s input comes from the
LFE channel of your receiver, use the included “Y” splitter to divide the single input into
two inputs for the Left and Right subwoofer inputs. If using line level connections from
a preamp or signal processor, use both Left and Right inputs from your preprocessor or
preamp and connect them to the Left and Right inputs on your subwoofer.
2) If using a receiver with LFE out, be sure the LFE channel is sending adequate signal to
the subwoofer. We recommend setting the subwoofer’s level to the 9 o’clock position
(the 1/4 volume setting) and then adjust the LFE channel on your receiver or processor
to achieve the desired bass output. See your receiver or processor’s owner’s manual for
more information.
The
SPEAKER LEVEL jacks connect directly to the speaker outputs of any amplifier, integrated
amplifier, or receiver. Your amplifier section will notice no additional loading effects when you
use these inputs due to their very high impedance. If using the
SPEAKER LEVEL inputs, you
DO want to connect both channels, since different bass information might be present in each
channel going to your main speakers.
IMPOR
TANT!!!
Do not use both LINE LEVEL and SPEAKER LEVEL connections simultaneously!
Caution!!! To avoid damage to your main amplifier, be sur
e to maintain correct polarity
when making all connections - red (positive) to red, and black (negative) to black. Be
sure all connections are tight, and that there are no loose strands or frayed wires.
Volume Control
This contr
ol allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main
speakers/amplifier in your system. This contr
ol should be set to achieve similar output levels
from both the main speakers and subwoofer when listening to music. A good starting point for
the volume control is two or three graduations from minimum.
Low-pass Crossover - 50 to 200 Hz
As noted above, all inputs sum the left and right channels together, with the resulting signal
passing thr
ough an adjustable low-pass cr
ossover befor
e being amplified. The cr
ossover contr
ol
allows you to adjust the upper limit of the subwoofer’s frequency response from 50 to 200 Hz.
The subwoofer’s response will begin rolling off above the frequency you set this control to. You
should set the cr
ossover frequency to obtain a smooth and seamless transition from the
subwoofer to the main speakers in your system. If your main speakers are smaller units with
limited low frequency output, you may wish to choose a higher frequency (such as 100 - 120
Hz) than you would with larger speakers which have greater low frequency output. With larger
speakers, you might star
t with this contr
ol set lower
, such as 80 Hz.
