When installing your new Chrysalis subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many high quality cables available today. It is recommended that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems.

When using speaker level connections, use a high quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors. Be very careful to avoid any loose strands or frayed wires that may result in a short, which may damage your equipment. Cables of extremely large size are typically not required. Extremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in the binding posts, resulting in a poor connection and possible short circuits.

Your Chrysalis subwoofer does not require any regular maintenance. Normal dusting or cleaning of the surface for appearance purposes is all that is required. We suggest you avoid any harsh detergents or chemicals when cleaning the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the cabinet. We recommend using only a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.

During normal conditions, your new subwoofer may be left on continuously without any problems. The unit is equipped with a signal- sensing turn on/off that will automatically turn on the unit when a signal is present at the inputs and turn off the unit after several minutes when there is no longer any signal at the inputs.

Your new subwoofer is equipped with circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability.

The unit is protected against:

1)Overheating the amplifier.

2)Excessive drop in power line voltage.

If either of the above should happen, you should reduce the volume setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return. You may also want to plug the unit into a different wall outlet, as dropping power line voltage will be most noticeable under strenuous conditions and may result in the unit shutting down intermittently.

STARFIRE-10, STARFIRE-12 specifications

Velodyne Acoustics has long been recognized for its pioneering efforts in high-performance audio systems, and their STARFIRE series of subwoofers, specifically the STARFIRE-12 and STARFIRE-10, further solidifies this reputation. These two models are designed to deliver powerful, deep bass with exceptional clarity and precision, making them suitable for both home theater enthusiasts and music lovers alike.

The STARFIRE-12 features a 12-inch driver, while the STARFIRE-10 is equipped with a 10-inch driver, allowing both models to cater to different room sizes and listener preferences. One of the standout features of both subwoofers is Velodyne's advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP), which optimizes the audio output and ensures that the bass is tight and accurate, free from distortion, even at high volume levels.

Another prominent technology featured in the STARFIRE series is the patented High-Excursion driver design. This innovative driver allows for greater movement, enabling the subwoofers to produce more significant air displacement, leading to deeper bass response. The drivers are also housed in solid enclosures designed to minimize cabinet resonance, further enhancing the audio experience by delivering a cleaner sound.

Connectivity is another area where the STARFIRE models shine. Both subwoofers offer multiple connectivity options, including line-level inputs, speaker level inputs, and balanced XLR inputs, facilitating easy integration into various audio systems. Moreover, the adjustable phase control allows users to synchronize the subwoofer with their main speakers, ensuring seamless sound reproduction throughout the listening environment.

The STARFIRE models also come with a comprehensive suite of adjustable settings that enable users to customize their audio experience. Features such as variable crossover control and volume adjustment enable fine-tuning to suit individual preferences and room acoustics.

In terms of aesthetics, both the STARFIRE-12 and STARFIRE-10 models sport a sleek, modern design that blends seamlessly into any home décor. Their compact size and iconic Velodyne build quality make them an attractive addition to any audio setup without sacrificing performance.
