Crossovers
Speaker-level Connections
When installed in this fashion the satellite speakers will be crossed
over at 80 Hz. This ramoves the lower bass from your amplifier and
speakers,enablingthem todo a betterjobreproducinghighfrequencies.
By utilizing this method you will have a bi-amplified system, gaining
improved power and headroom for your system.
ReceivedProcessor 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 DigitaP, DTS ®,THX ®) have a
"subwoofer out" jack (sometimes labeled "LFE") that is internally
filten_d,settable at the receiver/processor, and designed to be used
with a powered subwoofer. In some installations, itmay be beneficial
to use BOTH the Velodyne crossover and the raceiver/processor
crossover, resulting in a steeper ultimate crossover slope. In some
rare cases, combiningbeth an external crossoverand 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 processoror yourVRP subwoofer,or simplysettingone crossover
to a higher frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximum
performance.
