I have owned a Velodyne CT-120 for several years now. I find that it tends to shut down after receiving fairly intense LFE material. I have the sub level out at 9:00 o'clock and my Intergra 9.8 output at -10db and still can't make it through a whole film before it shuts down. If I power down and up again, I'm back on. Any suggestions to this problem? BTW...I am using the crossover in the Integra. Thanks in advance.

Does the sub's plate amp feel pretty hot at the time it shuts down?


Are you getting much output?


What is a 9 o'clock position? 1/4 1/3 1/2 or more? If its any higher than that, I would set the sub's amp as low as possible and set the output on the preamp at 0 instead of -10. In fact, I would try that anyway.

Nope...doesn't feel hot at all. ANd yes...1/4 position. Great output!

It's been a while since I've owned a CT series Velodyne. Does it have a auto-on setting, so that it shuts off when it receives no signal for a certain period. If it does, make sure you're not using that. Obviously it is receiving a signal, but maybe the auto-on/off feature is defective.

I still use a CT-120 in my bedroom setup and I find that it needs a fairly high output level to remain on. Go higher in the pre amp and lower on the main volume. Then, switch from "auto-sense" to "on" and see if that fixes it. Next I would contact Velodyne and see if they can help out. I had a small problem with the driver in mine and they replaced the entire assembly and I only paid for a shipping charge. Good custy service there.
