SC-602 Amplifier User’s Manual - 9
In these installations, you may want to bypass the crossover in either the processor or the velodyne SC-602
amplifierasdescribedabove.However,insomecasesyoumaywanttouseBOTHcrossovers.Ifyouchooseto
dothisyoushouldstaggerthefrequencies,(i.e.,120Hzsubwoofer,80Hzprocessor)forbestresults.
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 not matter which line level input
(l/R) is used.
A WORD ABOUT INTERCONNECT CABLES

quality shielded interconnect cables. It is recommended that you keep the length of cable as short as possible
to avoid any potential external interference problems.

A WORD ABOUT SUBWOOFER PLACEMENT
Subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies, which are primarily omni-directional. Keep inmind that
frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by room placement, depending on the
acoustic properties of the listening room. Typically, the optimum location for a subwoofer is in a front corner
ofyourlisteningroom.Thislocationwillusuallyofferthegreatestoutputlevelsandoptimumlowfrequency
extension. Typically, a minimum distance of one to two feet from your Tv to the subwoofer will be adequate to
avoid any magnetic interference.

Caution!
This amplifier is an electronic device. Do not place the amplifier next to sources of heat such as furnace registers,
radiators, etc. Likewise, do not place the amplifier near sources of excessive moisture, such as evaporative
coolers, humidifiers, etc. The power cord should be routed in such a way that it will not be walked on, pinched
or compressed in any way that could result in damaging the insulation or wire.
