Before seeking service for your amplifier or subwoofer, please re-check all systems. Following is a simple troubleshooting guide to assist you.

1.Verify that the unit is plugged in and power outlet used is active.

2.Is the power switch on?

3.Is the unit receiving an input signal from your source?

4.Have all controls (volume, crossover, phase, etc.) been properly set?

5.If the unit has been running at high levels, one of the protection circuits may be engaged. Has the amplifier overheated?

6.Make sure the speaker wires are fully inserted into the spring clip connectors and that no wires are touching from one terminal to another.

If the protection circuitry is active, the unit may cycle on and off until operating parameters return to normal. Under more serious conditions, the unit may shut off completely. Normal operation should return upon cooling, but you may be required to turn the power off and then on again to reset the unit.

The following conditions require service by a qualified technician:

1.The power cord has become damaged

2.The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance

3.The unit has been exposed to water

4.Some part of the chassis or circuitry is physically damaged

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.
