Line-level connection

Figure 1 shows connection to a pre-amplifier's main outputs and returning them to your amplifier inputs.

When installed in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 85hz, which removes the lower bass from your amplifier and speakers thus, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies. By utilizing this method, you will have a bi-amplified system, gaining improved power and headroom for your system.

A word about subwoofer outputs

The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover. Some surround sound processors/receivers have a "subwoofer out" jack that is already crossed over and designed to be used with a conventional amplifier and speaker. If this is the case, you should set the low pass crossover to 150Hz.

Note

If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in crossover for optimal performance.

When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 85hz, which removes the lower bass from your speakers thus, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies.

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

Caution!

TO SATELLITE SPEAKERS

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.
