Meyer Sound offers the VIM-3 (VEAM interface module) to distribute power, audio, and RMS to 700-HP subwoofers fitted with VEAM connectors, as shown in Figure 2.5. Figure 2.2. The 700-HP subwoofer user rear panel with L6-20 power connector Figure 2.5. VIM-3 module, front (top) and rear (bottom)
Pay close attention to these important electrical and safety issues. CAUTION: Do not use a power cord adapter to drive the 700-HP subwoofer from a stan- dard three-prong Edison outlet since that connector is rated for only 15 amps (NEMA 5-15R; 125 V AC max.).

HP subwoofers should be fed from the DSP in order to keep their delay time the same. Otherwise, you may experience * Unlike the matched sensitivity of the M2D and M2D-Sub, the 700-HP is +6 dB more sensitive than the M2D/M2D-Sub.

CHAPTER 5 In no case should a filter higher than 2 order be used. The additional phase shift introduced deteriorates the impulse response and higher roll-off does not improve crossover interaction. In fact, it is highly recommended that the crossover/filter be set to emulate the low-cut LD-1A/LD-2 characteristics themselves, as shown in Table 5.4.
