Prepare for Installation Your new Velodyne subwoofer provides for a number of installation options. Read all the installation information below in order to determine which installation option is best suited for your system. Remember to perform all installation procedures with system power turned off to prevent possible damage. PLACEMENT True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies which are primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the subwoofer be placed on the same plane

Installation Inputs Your new subwoofer is equipped with speaker-level and line-level inputs. Use the LINE LEVEL jacks when connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp, signal processor, line-level crossover or receiver with pre-amp level outputs. The SPEAKER LEVEL jacks connect directly to the speaker outputs of any amplifier, integrated amplifier or receiver. Your amplifier section will notice no additional loading effects when you use these inputs due to their very high impedance. Important!!! Do

Signal Sensing Auto Turn On/Off Function With this function in the “standby” position, your subwoofer can be safely left with the main p ower switched on continuously. The subwoofer will turn itself on automatically when an audio signal is present. If no signal is present for approximately 10 minutes, the unit will switch to standby mode. While in standby mode, your subwoofer will draw very minimal power. This function can be disabled by leaving the switch in the “always on” position. Power Swi

NOTE: SPL-800i is identical in features and layout to the SPL-1000i shown. Figure 1. Installation Using LFE Line-Level Inputs Note: If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in 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

LINE-LEVEL CONNECTION - OPTION B Figure 2 shows connection from a pre-amplifier’s main outputs to the left and right inputs of your Velodyne subwoofer. You will also need to connect a second pair of RCA cables from the outputs on the back of your subwoofer to the inputs on the back of your amplifier. When the subwoofer is installed in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 80 Hz which removes the lower bass frequencies from your external amplifier and speakers, enabling th

Speaker-Level Connections Figure 3 shows an easy way to connect your Velodyne subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier, if it lacks line-level outputs. You may also connect your satellites directly to your receiver or amplifier along with the subwoofer. Your receiver or amplifier will not notice the additional load of the subwoofer due to the high input impedance. NOTE: SPL-800i is identical in features and layout to the SPL-1000i shown. Figure 3.

Interconnect Cables When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many decent cables available today, most any of which will work perfectly well. We do recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems. When using speaker level connections, use a decent quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors. Be very careful to avoid any loose strands or
