1SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUT terminals
The speaker-level signal to the front speakers is distributed from these terminals.
2SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT terminals
Connect these input terminals to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier or receiver.
3LINE INPUT jacks
Connect these jacks to the LINE OUT jacks of the amplifier.
4VOLUME LEVEL knob
Use this knob to adjust the output level of the subwoofer.
5Power indicator
Red: Unit is in standby mode.
Green: Unit is in operation mode.
(automatically turns to STANDBY mode if no signal for eight min.)
6LOW-PASS CROSSOVER
Use this knob to select the high-frequency range at which you wish to cut-off the signal to the subwoofer.
7PHASE SWITCH
Use this switch to invert the phase of the subwoofer to create a better blend with your satellite speakers.

R e c e i v e r / P r ocessor 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 (sometimes labeled “LFE”) that is internally filtered, settable at the receiver/processor, and designed to be used with a powered subwoofer. In some installations, it may be beneficial to use BOTH the Velodyne crossover and the receiver/processor crossover, resulting in a steeper ultimate crossover slope. 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 crossover in either the processor or your VX-11 subwoofer. Or, simply set one crossover to a higher frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximum performance.
