SPEAKER-LEVEL CONNECTIONS

Figure 3 shows an easy way to connect your Velodyne subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier, if it lacks line-level outputs. You may also connect your satellites directly to your receiver or amplifier along with the subwoofer. Your receiver or amplifier will not notice the additional load of the subwoofer due to the high input impedance.

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.

The SPL-800i also features an adjustable phase control, allowing users to match the subwoofer output to their room acoustics and listener location. This customization enhances the overall sound quality and makes the subwoofer adaptable to different setups, whether in a dedicated home theater or a multi-purpose living area.

Further enhancing user experience, the SPL-800i includes automatic room equalization that helps in calibrating the subwoofer to its environment. This advanced technology assesses the space and adjusts its performance to eliminate unwanted frequencies, ensuring the best bass reproduction possible.
