Speaker-level connection

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. This will make the unit turn on at lower signal levels.

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 "SUBWOOFER DIRECT/INTERNAL X-OVER"on the rear panel of the subwoofer and set to the "SUBWOOFER DIRECT" position. This will eliminate the internal crossover from the signal path.

In these installations, you may bypass the internal crossover in either the processor or the Velodyne subwoofer. In some installations, it may be beneficial to have a steeper ultimate crossover slope. To do this you can use both your processor's crossover and the one internal to the Velodyne sub. You should stagger the frequencies (i.e., 120Hz sub, 80Hz processor) for best results.
