Prepare for Installation

Your new Velodyne subwoofer provides for a number of installation options. Read all the installation information below in order to deter- mine 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 that are pri- marily omni-directional. 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 opti- mum 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 locations when possible. When using a pair of Velodyne subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer by the satellite of the same channel.

Caution! This subwoofer has electronics built into the cabinet. Do not place the cabinet next to sources of heat such as fur- nace registers, radiators, etc., or near sources of excessive moisture, such as evaporative coolers, humidifiers, etc. The power cord should be routed in such a way that it will not be walked on, pinched, or compressed in any way that could re- sult in damaging the insulation or wire.

Regardless of where you install your Velodyne subwoofer, it must remain in an upright position (woofer facing forward). Using, shipping, or otherwise storing the subwoofer in any other position for an extended period of time may result in damage to the unit not covered by warranty.

Your VRP subwoofer is magnetically shielded to reduce the amount of stray magnetic energy emitted from the speaker’s motor structure. This greatly increases flexibility when placing the unit close to video
