INSTALLATION
Your new
VA
10
12 subwoofer system provides for a number of installation options. Read all the installation
information below in order to determine witch installation option is best for your system. Remember to perform all
installation procedures with system power turned
off.
Inputs.
The VA
10
12 is equipped with both speaker-level and line-level stereo inputs. Use the LINE IN jacks
when connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp,
signal processor,or line-level crossover. The FROM AMPLIFIER
jacks connect directly to the speaker outputs of your integrated amplifier or receiver. Your amplifier section will
no
tice no additional loading effects when you use these inputs because of their high impedance.
NOTE:
Do
not use both LINE
IN
and FROM AMPLIFIER inputs simultaneously.
Crossover.
Both sets of inputs sum the right and left channels together and the resulting signal is passed through
a 75Hz crossover before being
amplified. Your satellite speakers still operate over their
fu
ll
frequency range,
however, because the VA
1012 contains no high pass crossove
r.
An optional high pass crossover
is
available
(see below).
Interconnection
Cables.
When installing your VA 1012 using FROM AMPLIFIER and
TO
SPEAKERS (as
in
Figure 1) run the same quality speaker cable to your
subwool
er
as
you
do
to your satellites. If the
cab
les to your
1012 will not
be
leed
ing your satellites, then any medium gauge
~
zip
cord" is sufficient for the subwoofer alone.
Cables
connected to LINE IN should be standarQ shielded phono cables. Always keep leads between your
pre-amp and power amplifier as short as
possible. II necessary, cables to the subwoofer unit alone can be quite
long.
