Velodyne CHT8, Velodyne CHT10 – Audio - Video Subwoofer System amplifier schematic
Semiconductors used: TIP31C, TIP32C, UpcC1237HA, BA4558
True sub-woofers operate at extremely low frequencies which are
primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the sub-woofers
be placed on the same plane as the satellite speakers, room and system
conditions often dictate otherwise. Keep in mind that frequency response
and output level can be drastically influenced by placement, depending
on the acoustic properties of the listening room. Typically, the optimum
location for a sub-woofer is tucked away in a corner of your listening
room.
This location will usually offer the
greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension. The worst
location for a sub-woofer it typically far away from any walls, and
close to the center of your room. Avoid these locations when possible.
When using a pair of Velodyne sub-woofers in stereo, it is preferable to
place each sub-woofer by the satellite of the same channel. Typically, a
minimum distance of 1 to 2 feet from your TV to the sub-woofer will be
adequate to avoid any magnetic interference.

During
normal conditions, the sub-woofer may be left on continuously without any
problems. The unit is equipped with a signal sensing circuit that will
automatically turn on the unit when a signal is present at the inputs and turn
off the unit after several minutes when there is no longer any signal at the
inputs.
