Community Professional Loudspeakers MVP™ Series II Owner’s Manual

Using the MVP18S Subwoofer System

While all Community full-range speaker systems have exceptional bass output, the MVP18S subwoofer

has even more. A very special feature of the MVP18S is its built-in crossover with a high-pass output.

This means you can use a single channel of your power amplifier to power both the MVP18S and a full-

range speaker, while presenting a reasonable load on your amplifier. The amplifier only sees the

subwoofer’s crossover load, which is 8 ohms for the MVP18S subwoofer. Without the built-in

crossover, the combined impedance of full-range and subwoofer speakers in parallel would be much

lower. Some amplifiers are capable of powering very low-impedance loads, but many cannot. This

feature neatly solves that problem. The high-pass crossover output also keeps very low bass frequencies

from reaching the full-range speaker, preventing potential damage from excessive low-frequency energy.
