Subwoofer outputs
The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio
signal for input when using the built-in crossover. Many home theater
processors/receivers (Dolby Digital, DTS, THX) have a "subwoofer out"
jack that is internally filtered and designed to be used with a powered
subwoofer.
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 crossove slope. To do this, you can
use both your processor's crossover and the internal crossover in your
Velodyne sub. You should stagger the frequencies (i.e., 120Hz sub, 80Hz
processor) for best results.
