The VX-10 is magnetically shielded to reduce the amount of stray magnetic energy emitted from the speaker's motor structure. This greatly increases flexibility when placing the unit close to video monitors as there is very little stray magnetism.

Low-pass crossover - 50 to 200Hz All inputs sum the left and right channels together, with the resulting signal passing 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 50 to 200Hz.
Speaker Line-level Connections When installed in this fashion the satellite speakers will be crossed over at 80Hz. This removes the lower bass from your amplifier and speakers, 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.
Operational References SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT terminals Connect these input terminals to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier or receiver. SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUT terminals The speaker-level signal to the front speakers is output from these terminals. LINE INPUT jacks Connect these jacks to the LINE OUT jacks of the amplifier. LOW-PASS CROSSOVER Use this knob to select the high-frequency range at which you wish to cut-off the signal to the subwoofer.
Speaker-level Connection Connect your Velodyne subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier. Your receiver or amplifier will not notice the additional load of the subwoofer due to the high input impedance. Caution!!! To avoid damage to your main amplifier, be sure to maintain correct polarity when making all connections.
Protection Circuitry Your new subwoofer is equipped with circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability. The unit is protected against: Overheating the amplifier. Excessive drop in power line voltage. If either of the above should happen, you should reduce the volume setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return.
