Speaker Level Output

When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 80 Hz. This removes the lower bass from your satellites, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies and giving your receiver’s amp more headroom (up to 50% more power).

You may also connect your satellites directly to your receiver or amplifier along with the subwoofer if you wish to bypass this crossover.

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.

Power Switch

The master power switch is located on the lower right half of the unit. This rocker style switch is the main on/off for the unit. This switch should be set to position 1 for on (up), 0 for off (down).

A Word About Your Receiver’s Crossover and the DPS Crossover

Your Velodyne DPS subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover (controlled by the dial on the back panel). Many home theater processors/receivers (Dolby Digital®, DTS®, THX®) have a “subwoofer out” jack that performs this same function and are designed to be used with a powered subwoofer.

In these installations, you may want to bypass the crossover in either the processor or the Velodyne subwoofer. In some cases, you may want to use BOTH crossovers. 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., 120 Hz subwoofer, 80 Hz processor) for best results.

To bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover when the unit is be- ing fed a low pass signal from another crossover, simply locate the knob marked “LOW-PASS CROSSOVER” on the rear panel of the
