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 suited for your system. Remember to perform all
installation procedures with system power turned o 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
inuencedbyplacement,dependingontheacousticpropertiesofthelisteningroom.Typically,theoptimum

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, humidiers, 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.
Regardless of where you install your Velodyne subwoofer, it must remain in an upright position (woofer facing
forward).Using,shippingorstoringthesubwooferinanyotherpositionforanextendedperiodoftimemay

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
