CONNECTING SUBWOOFER AMPLIFIERS AND FULL 

RANGE AMPLIFIERS TO A ZVL

If you are using the the ZVL to control multiple linked or strapped subwoofer 
amps while also distributing full range signal to other amplifiers or processors in 
the system use the 

Internal Jumper Configuration

 guide to set the input and 

output jumpers for your subwoofer amp application then set all remaining 
channel’s input jumpers to 

PASS 

and all remaining output jumpers to 

LINK

. This 

will allow you to utilize the ZVL preamp section for the subwoofer amplifiers while 
passing the full range signal from the source unit to the other amplifiers.  

USING THE ZVL AS AN ACTIVE RCA DISTRIBUTION 

BLOCK:

If you are using the ZVL as an RCA distribution block and no subwoofer pre amp 
control is needed you can simply set all internal input jumpers to 

PASS 

and all 

output jumpers to 

LINK

. This will pass the full range signal from the source unit 

directly to all of the outputs. In this configuration the ZVL preamp gain and 
crossovers will have no effect on the output signal and you will not be able to 
control output levels with a connected remote control. When an internal preamp 
jumper is set to 

PASS 

the ZVL output voltage will be 1:1 with the source unit’s 

output voltage. This allows you to distribute RCA signal while eliminating any 
RCA voltage loss from the source unit.

!!WARNING!! 

Severe Amplifier and Subwoofer damage 
can result from improper installation and 

setup of the ZVL. PLEASE take time to read 

this manual carefully and contact a DD Audio 

technician if you have any questions.
