Rear Panel Connections — Detailed Explanation The SC-600 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-600 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 built-in crossover for optimal performance. When using a single RCA sub out from the processor, it does not matter whi

WARNING: Some manufacturers preset their receivers with the Sub-Out channel signal at a minimum level. It is very important to verify that your receiver Sub-Out channel is set to the same output level as your front right and left channels. Refer to your receiver manual for the individual channel level adjustment procedure. If your receiver Sub-Out channel is set too low, the subwoofer may appear to have a weak output, it may sound noisy or distorted, and the Auto On/Off feature may not operate p
