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 MiniVee User’s Manual - 3... -

Subwoofer Outputs 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 “y” adapter (available from most dealers) to allow your processor’s single sub line to be fed into both l&R inputs.

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 - MiniVee User’s Manual www.velodyne.com... -
