LINE-LEVEL CONNECTION - OPTION A
Figure 1 shows connection from your home theater receiver to the lFe input on the back of your subwoofer.
When the subwoofer is installed in this fashion, all of the low frequency information from your “LFE Out” or
“Subwoofer Out” on the back of your receiver will pass into your Velodyne subwoofer. This connection is the
most common connection method when using your subwoofer with a 5.1 receiver. (Cable needed: 1 mono RCA
cable.)
NOTE: If not using an external crossover, you should use the builtin crossover for optimal performance. When
using a single channel input (such as a surround sound processor’s subwoofer out or LFE), the auto on/off
circuit sensitivity will be affected. When one input channel is used instead of two, the unit will see lower signal
levels present at the inputs. This may cause the unit to turn off when listening at low volume levels. If this
occurs, simply use a “Y” adapter (available from most dealers) to allow your processor’s single sub line to be
fed into both l&R inputs. This will make the unit turn on at lower signal levels.
