A Word About Your Receiver’s Crossover and the Velodyne Optimum Subwoofer Crossover
Your Velodyne Optimum subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using
the built-in crossover (controlled by the dial on the back panel). Many home theater processors/receivers (Dolby
Digital®, DTS®, THX®) have a “subwoofer out” jack that performs this same function and are designed to be
used with a powered subwoofer.
In these installations, you may want to bypass the crossover in either the processor or the Velodyne subwoofer.
In some cases, you may want to use BOTH crossovers. To do this, you can use both your processor’s crossover
and the one internal to the Velodyne sub. You should stagger the frequencies, (i.e., 120 Hz subwoofer, 80 Hz
processor) for best results.
To bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover when the unit is being fed a low pass signal from another
crossover, simply rotate the knob marked “LOW-PASS CROSSOVER” on the rear panel of the subwoofer,
turning it counterclockwise to the leftmost position. This will eliminate the internal crossover from the signal
path.
Note: If you are not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in crossover for the best performance.
When using a single RCA sub out from the processor, connect to the “L” - LFE input on the subwoofer, or for
more signal, use a “Y” connector and feed the signal into both “R” and “L” inputs.
INTERCONNECT CABLES
When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line-level connections, you should always use shielded
phono cables. There are many decent cables available today, most any of which will work perfectly well. We do
recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
When using speaker level connections, use a quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors (at least
18-gauge). Be very careful to avoid any loose or frayed strands that could result in a short, causing a dangerous
condition and possible damage to your unit. Cables of extremely large size are typically not required. Extremely
large gauge wire may not properly t in the binding posts, resulting in a poor connection and possible short
circuits.
