Rear Panel Connections — Detailed Explanation The SC-602 amplifier is equipped with both speaker-level and line-level inputs. Use the RCA/Phono type “INPUT” jacks when connecting from a pre-amp, signal processor, or line-level crossover. The “SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT” jacks connect directly to the speaker outputs of an integrated amplifier or receiver. Your amplifier section will notice no additional loading effects when you use these inputs because of their high impedance. Note: Do not use both t

In these installations, you may want to bypass the crossover in either the processor or the Velodyne SC-602 amplifier as described above. However, in some cases you may want to use BOTH crossovers. If you choose to do this you should stagger the frequencies, (i.e., 120 Hz subwoofer, 80 Hz processor) for best results. Note: If not using an external crossover, you should use the subwoofer’s built-in crossover for optimal performance. When using a single RCA sub out from the processor, it does no

Selecting the Subwoofer to be Controlled Your SC-602 amplifier can control the Velodyne SC-600 Series subwoofers as well as generic passive subwoofers. Special internal software settings are designed to maximize performance and reliability depending on the model of subwoofer being controlled, so it is important to match the SC-602 amplifier with the subwoofer it is controlling. The SC-602 amplifier comes with a default setting for the SC-600 IW subwoofer. When the unit is first powered up, th
