Prepare for Installation

Your new Velodyne subwoofer provides for a number of installation options. Read all the installation information below in order to determine which installation option is best for your system. Remember to perform

all installation procedures with system power turned off to prevent possible damage.

Placement

True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies which are primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the subwoofer be placed on the same plane as the satellite speakers, room and system conditions often dictate otherwise. Keep in mind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced 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. This location will usually offer the greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension. The worst location for a subwoofer is typically far away from any walls, and close to the center of your room. Avoid these
