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 omnidirectional. 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 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 furnace registers, radiators, etc. Do not place the unit 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 result in damaging the insulation or wire.
