Placement Subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies that are primarily omni-directional. Keep in m d i ind that frequency response and output level can be rastically nfluenced by placement, depending on the acoustic properties of the listening room. Typically, the optimum location for a subwoofer is tucked away in a corner of your listening room where the greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension can be found. The worst location for a subwoofer is far away from any walls

Note: A pair of Velodyne subwoofers is a very common setup and doubles your system’s bass capability. When using a pair of Velodyne subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer by the speaker of the corresponding channel. In this case you may have to use more than one “Y” splitter. The SPEAKER LEVEL jacks connect directly to the speaker outputs of any amplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver. Your amplifier section will notice no additional loading effects when you use thes

For all installations, experiment with the phase switch to determine the setting (0 or 180 degrees) that produces the most mid-bass. If the settings sound similar, we recommend the “0” position. Auto Turn on Function The subwoofer will turn itself on automatically when an audio signal is present. If no signal is present for approximately eight minutes, the unit will switch to standby mode (Red LED). While in standby mode, your subwoofer will draw very minimal power. Figure 1. Rear panel input

Interconnect Cables When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many high quality cables available today, most any of which will work perfectly well. We do recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems. When using speaker level connections, use a high quality quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors. Be very careful to avoid any loos

Protection Circuitry Your new subwoofer is equipped with circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability. The unit is protected against: 1) Overheating the amplifier. 2) Excessive drop in power line voltage. If either of the above should happen, you should reduce the volume setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return. You may also want to plug the unit into a different wall outlet, as dropping power line voltage will be most noticeable under stren
