To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open speaker enclosure or amp chassis cover. Please observe all warnings on the equipment itself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Please refer all service questions to your authorized Velodyne dealer or service representative. -
Page 8: Prepare For Installation
Avoid these locations when possible. when using a pair of Velodyne subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer by the satellite of the same channel. -
Page 9: Installation
Simply move the switch to SUBWOOFER DIRECT to disengage the built-in crossover. For all other installations which do not have a separate electronic crossover, we recommend you leave the switch set to INTERNAL X-OVER to provide optimum performance. www.velodyne.com SPL-800i User’s Manual - 3... - Page 10 Subwoofer Outputst The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using the built- in crossover. Some processors/receivers have a “subwoofer out” jack that is internally filtered and designed to be used with a conventional amplifier and speaker. In some rare cases, combining both an external crossover and the one internal to the subwoofer may result in low output and increased noise. In these installations you may need to bypass the internal crossover in either the processor or Velodyne subwoofer.
- Page 11 This may cause the unit to turn off when listening at low volume levels. If this occurs, simply use a “Y” adapter (available from most dealers) to allow your processor’s single sub line to be fed into both l&R inputs. This will make the unit turn on at lower signal levels. Figure 1: Installation using LFE line-level inputs. www.velodyne.com SPL-800i User’s Manual - 5...
- Page 12 RcA cables from the outputs on the back of your subwoofer to the inputs on the back of your amplifier. When the subwoofer is installed in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 80 Hz which removes the lower bass frequencies from your external amplifier and speakers, enabling them to do a better job reproducing the higher frequencies. By utilizing this method, you will have a bi-amplified system, gaining improved power and headroom for your system. This installation method is not as common as the method described in Figure 1. (Cables needed: 2 stereo pair of RCA cables.) Figure 2: Installation using stereo line-level inputs 6 - SPL-800i User’s Manual www.velodyne.com...

Page 13: Speaker-Level Connection - Option C
Caution!!! To avoid damage to your main amplifier, be sure to maintain correct polarity when making all connections. Red (positive) to red, and black (negative) to black. Be sure that all connections are tight, and that there are no loose strands or frayed wires. Figure 3: Installation using speaker-level inputs www.velodyne.com SPL-800i User’s Manual - 7... - Page 14 PROTECTION CIRCUITRY Your new subwoofer is equipped with special protection circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability. The unit is protected against: 1) Overdriving the speaker or amplifier 2) Overheating the amplifier 3) Excessive drop in power line voltage 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 the thermal or under-voltage protection circuitry has engaged. If this should happen, you should reduce the volume setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return. You may also want to plug the unit into a different wall outlet, as dropping power line voltage will be most noticeable under strenuous conditions and may result in the unit shutting down intermittently. 8 - SPL-800i User’s Manual www.velodyne.com...

Page 15: Subwoofer Outlets
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 Digital , dTS , THX™) have a “subwoofer out” ® ® jack that is internally filtered and designed to be used with a powered subwoofer. In these installations, you may bypass the internal crossover in either the processor or the Velodyne subwoofer. In some installations, it may be beneficial to have a steeper ultimate crossover slope. To do this, you can use both your processor’s... -
Page 16: Protection Circuitry
If the protection circuitry is active, the unit may cycle on and off until operating parameters return to normal. Under more serious conditions, the unit may shut off completely. Normal operation should return upon cooling, but you may be required to turn the power off and then on again to reset the unit. The following conditions require service by a qualified technician: 1. The power cord has become damaged 2. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance 3. The unit has been exposed to water 4. Some part of the cabinet or circuitry is physically damaged Thank You for Purchasing a Velodyne SPL-800i Subwoofer! 10 - SPL-800i User’s Manual www.velodyne.com... -
