Velodyne Acoustics VX-10 owner manual Installation, Inputs, Volume Control

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.

The VX-10 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 monitors as there is very little stray magnetism. Certain types of televisions are particularly sensitive to stray magnetic fields. If your television produces distorted colors after installing your subwoofer, simply increase the distance between your television and the subwoofer, until normal color and operation is returned.

Your new Velodyne subwoofer, like any good speaker system, requires proper positioning within the listening space to provide maximum performance. Improperly placed speakers may degrade the sound quality and reduce your listening pleasure. Depending on the size and type of furnishings in the room, perfect placement may not be possible. Finding the best location for your environment will likely require some experimentation. We suggest you experiment with the location during setup to find what sounds best to you when seated in your typical listening position.

Installation

Inputs

Your new subwoofer is equipped with speaker-level and line-level inputs. Use the LINE LEVEL jacks when connecting your subwoofer to a pre-amp, signal processor, line-level crossover, or receiver with pre-amp level outputs. 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 these inputs due to their very high impedance.

Important!!!

Do not use both LINE LEVEL and SPEAKER LEVEL connections simultaneously!

Volume Control

This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers/amplifier in your system. This control should be set to achieve similar output levels from both the main speakers and subwoofer when listening to music. A good starting point for the volume control is 2 or 3 dots from minimum.
