"It delivered room-shaking bass and dramatically demonstrated the
effectiveness of a single subwoofer placed to one side of the room."
- Julian Hirsh
Stereo Review, January 1997
"In general, the Velodyne could play slightly louder, and often
cleaner, than the Sunfire."
-D.B. Keele, Jr.
Audio/ June 1998
"How do they get this kind of bass out of such a tiny box? Deep, tight,
tuneful and loud enough to rattle pictures on the wall--this is serious
subwoofing."

    The first type of protection circuitry which prevents overdriving of the speaker or amplifier operates constantly without being audible under most situations. In some extreme situations (sustained high output levels such as pro sound usage), the unit may shut down momentarily. This indicates operation of the thermal or undervoltage protection circuitry.

  • Page 7: Line-Level Connection

    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 80Hz which removes the lower bass from your amplifier and speakers, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies.
  • Page 8 Important!!! Do not use both LINE LEVEL and SPEAKER LEVEL connections simultaneously! Volume control This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers/amplifier in your system. This control should be set to achieve similar output level from both the main speakers and subwoofer when listening to music.
