Connection Direct From Receiver
Figure 2 illustrates how to connect your Velodyne speaker system
directly to your receiver or amplifier. This is the preferred connection
method for most systems that have a "subwoofer out" connection and
electronic filter as part of the surround sound processor. It is recommended
that you activate your receiver/processor's high pass filter function. We
recommend setting this crossover in your receiver or processor to 80 Hz.
To do this, select "small" mode on the speaker setup menu of your receiver.
This is nominal for most systems and will allow your satellite speakers to
go reasonably low and provide good imaging while allowing your sub to
blend in perfectly. The higher the crossover frequency between your
speakers and subwoofer, the easier it will be to locate sound from the
subwoofer. This is undesirable, as it will degrade the imaging of your
system. If your equipment does not have the required outputs for this type
of installation, consult the following two installation methods for more
options. If none of the methods shown will work in your system, or if you
should have further questions, please consult your dealer or call our
technical support department for more help.

Connection Thru Subwoofer
(speaker-level)
Figure 3 illustrates how to connect your new satellite speakers through
your Velodyne subwoofer's speaker level crossover. This will remove the
lower bass from your front satellite speakers only. Other speakers will still
receive full range information. This method should only be used if your
receiver does not have high pass crossover functions built into the
surround sound processor. Be careful to connect the positive + (red)
terminals on your receiver to the + (red) terminals of your subwoofer.
Reversing these connections may damage your subwoofer.
