Interconnect Cables

When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many decent 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 decent quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors. Be very careful to avoid any loose strands or frayed wires which may result in a short, which may damage your equipment. Cables of extremely large size are typically not required. Extremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in the binding posts, resulting in a poor connection and possible short circuits.

Care of Your Subwoofer

Your Velodyne subwoofer does not require any regular maintenance. Normal dusting or cleaning of the surface for appearance purposes are all that is required. We suggest you avoid any harsh detergents or chemicals when cleaning the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the cabinet. We recommend using only a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.

During normal conditions, your new subwoofer may be left on continuously without any problems. The unit is equipped with a signal-sensing turn on/ off that will automatically turn on the unit when a signal is present at the inputs and turn off the unit after several minutes when there is no longer any signal at the inputs. If you plan to leave the subwoofer unused for an extended period of time, we recommend that you turn off the master power switch on the rear panel.

Protection Circuitry

Your new subwoofer is equipped with special protection circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability.

The unit is protected against:

1)Overdriving the speaker or amplifier

2)Overheating the amplifier

3)Excessive drop in power line voltage

The first type of protection circuitry which prevents overdriving of the speaker or amplifier
operates constantly without being audible under most situations. In some extreme situations
(sustained high output levels such as pro sound usage), the unit may shut down momentarily.
This indicates the thermal or under-voltage protection circuitry has engaged. If this 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 strenuous conditions and may result in the unit
shutting down intermittently.
