Velodyne Acoustics SPL-800 Crossoverswitch-INTERNAL X-OVER/SUBWOOFERDIRECT, Auto turn on function

between the subwoofer and your main speakers/amplifier. To adjust, simply listen to the system with music playing. Then move the switch from one position to the other and listen for a change in low frequency output. The correct position will have a greater amount of apparent low frequency output.

Crossoverswitch-INTERNAL X-OVER/SUBWOOFERDIRECT

This switch allows the electronic crossover circuitry to be removed from the signal path. This is required in certain installations which route the signal through external processors with a crossover circuit of their own, such as the new digital units. Simply move the switch to SUBWOOFER DIRECT to disengage the built in crossover. For all other installations which do not have a separate electronic crossover, we recommend you leave the switch set to INTERNAL X-OVERto provide optimum performance.

Auto turn on function

With this function in the "auto" position, your subwoofer can be safely left with the main power switch on continuously. The subwoofer will turn itself on automatically when an audio signal is present. If no signal is present for approximately 10 minutes, the unit will switch to standby mode. While in standby mode, your subwoofer will draw very minimal power. This function can be disabled by leaving the switch in the "on" position.

Power switch

The master power switch is located on the lower half of the unit. This rocker style switch is the main on/off for the unit. This switch should be set to position 1 (up) for on, and 0 (down) for off. If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, the master power switch should be turned off.

Subwooferoutputs

The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover. Some processors/ receivers, have a "subwoofer out" jack that is internally filtered and designed to be used with a conventional amplifier and speaker. In some rare cases, combining both an external crossover and the one internal to the subwoofer may result in low output and increased noise. In these installations you may need to bypass the internal crossover in either the processor or Velodyne subwoofer. In some installations, simply setting one crossover to a higher frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximum performance. To bypass the subwoofer's internal crossover when the unit
