Rear Panel Connections – Detailed Explanation
Your new subwoofer is equipped with both speaker-level and line-
levelinputs. UsetheRCA/Phonotype“INPUT”jackswhenconnect-
ing your subwoofer to a pre-amp, signal processor, or line-level
crossover. The “SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT” jacks connect directly
to the speaker outputs of an integrated amplifier or receiver. Your
amplifier section will notice no additional loading effects when you
use these inputs because of their high impedance.
Note:
DonotuseboththeRCA/Phono“INPUT”connectionsand“SPEAKER
LEVEL INPUT” connections simultaneously.
Low-PassCrossover
Both sets of inputs sum the left and right channels together and the
resulting signal is passed through an adjustable low-pass crossover
before being amplified. The crossover control allows you to adjust
the upper limit of the subwoofer’s frequency response from 40 to
120 Hz. The subwoofer’s response will begin rolling off above the
frequency you set this control to.

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 theVelodyne
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 being
fed a low pass signal from another crossover, simply locate the
knob marked “LOW-PASS CROSSOVER” on the rear panel of the
subwoofer and turn it counterclockwise to the “DIRECT” position.
This will eliminate the internal crossover from the signal path.
Note:
If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in
crossover for optimal performance. When using a single RCA sub
out from the processor, it does not matter which line level input (L/R)
is used.
Interconnect Cables
When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line-level
connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There
are many decent cables available today, most any of which will
work perfectly well. We do recommend that you keep the length of
cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
When using speaker level connections, use a quality speaker cable
that mates well with the connectors (at least 14-gauge). Be very
careful to avoid any loose or frayed strands that could result in a
short, causing a dangerous condition and possible damage to your
unit. Cables of extremely large size are typically not required. Ex-
tremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in the binding posts,
resulting in a poor connection and possible short circuits.
Placement
True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies, which are
primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the
subwoofers be placed on the same plane as the satellite speakers,

room and system conditions often dictate otherwise. Keep in mind
that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced

by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of your listening

s s o n s d ’ e x t r ê m e s g r a v e s f o n c t i o n n e n t à d e s f r é q u e n c e s
corner of your listening room. This location will usually offer the
greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension. The
a c e
worst location for a subwoofer is typically far away from any walls,
close to the center of your room and near an opening or door way.
e c o n n e c t e r a i e n t p a s b i e n s u r l e s b o r n e s e t d o n n e r a i e n t

subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer near

Care of Your Subwoofer
Do not use any harsh detergents or chemicals to clean the cabinet.
Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions will damage the finish
11
on the cabinet. We recommend using a damp cloth to clean the
front, back and sides. Use a soft cloth with a good quality furniture
polish to clean the hand-rubbed, black lacquer, painted top.
o p
n t
During normal conditions, the subwoofer may be left on continuously
without any problems. If you plan to leave the unit unused for an
extended period of time, we recommend that you turn off the unit by
the master power switch on the rear panel.
