The Velodyne servo-control solution –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—————––– The Velodyne FSX-12 produces sound in the same manner as conventional loudspeakers: a cone-shaped piston is forced to move by means of a linear motor composed of a coil situated between the poles of a very strong permanent magnet. In our F-series products however, a feedback mechanism is provided to link the driver to the amplifier creating a control system loop.
Subwoofer Direct switch- In/Out 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 OUT to disengage the built in crossover.
The FSX-12 subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. When installing near television monitors, test placement with the monitor operational to observe any change in colors.
Note..If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in crossover for optimal performance. Speaker-level connection ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—————–– Figure 2 shows an easy way to connect your Velodyne subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier. When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 85Hz, which removes the lower bass from your speakers, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies.
