Velodyne Acoustics VA-806/907 User Manual
A word about subwoofer outputs
The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range
audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover. Some
surround sound processors/receivers have a "subwoofer out" jack
that is already crossed over and designed to be used with a
conventional amplifier and speaker. If this is the case, you should
set the low pass crossover to 150Hz.

If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in
crossover for optimal performance.

When connected in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be
crossed over at 85hz, which removes the lower bass from your
speakers thus, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high
frequencies.

You may also connect your satellites directly to your receiver or
amplifier along with the subwoofer if you wish to bypass the internal

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.
