The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when
using the built-in crossover. Many home theater processors/receivers (Dolby Digital™, DTS™,
THX™) have a “subwoofer out” jack (sometimes labeled “LFE”) that is internally filtered, settable
at the receiver/processor, and designed to be used with a powered subwoofer. In some
installations, it may be beneficial to use BOTH the Velodyne crossover and the
receiver/processor crossover, resulting in a steeper ultimate crossover slope. 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 crossover
in either the processor or your CHT-Q subwoofer, or simply setting one crossover to a higher
frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximum performance.

Subwoofer Connection Diagram, pages 10 and 11 for connection diagrams.)
