1.  If the subwoofer has a noticeably higher noise floor compared to your 

other speakers, it is likely that the cable run between the preamp/processor 
and subwoofer (or between the amplifier and subwoofer) is too long. 
Typically, you want to use a length of less than3 meters if using the low 
level inputs and a length of less than 15meters if using high level inputs. 

 

2.  If you are using the low level inputs and you notice a “hum” while all of 

your other audio equipment is turned off, it is likely that the inputs to the 
subwoofer are creating an “antenna effect” and picking up noise. The best 
way to eliminate this problem is to turn off the subwoofer when you turn 
off the rest of your equipment. 

 

3.  VS 12.2 features a special thermal reset to prevent damage to the internal 

amplifier. This is invisible under normal operation; however should your 
subwoofer be over driven for long periods it will turn off. Once unit cools 
down normal operation is restored, by resetting the rear power switch to 

Off

, then back to 

Auto/On

. If you have any questions about this, please 

call us.
