Congratulations Congratulations on your purchase of a Velodyne subwoofer system. This system represents the state of the art in home audio reproduction and will provide you with years of listening pleasure when properly cared for. Read and follow this instruction manual to insure safe and proper system connection and operation. Caution! Please observe the following instructions to insure safe and proper system operation.
Placement Subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies that are primarily 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 optimum location for a subwoofer is tucked away in a corner of your listening room where the greatest output levels and optimum low frequency extension can be found.
Note: A pair of Velodyne subwoofers is a very common setup and doubles your system’s bass capability. When using a pair of Velodyne subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer by the speaker of the corresponding channel. In this case you may have to use more than one “Y” splitter. The SPEAKER LEVEL jacks connect directly to the speaker outputs of any amplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver.
For all installations, experiment with the phase switch to determine the setting (0 or 180 degrees) that produces the most mid-bass. If the settings sound similar, we recommend the “0” position. A u t o Tu r n o n F u n c t i o n The subwoofer will turn itself on automatically when an audio signal is present. If no signal is present for approximately eight minutes, the unit will switch to standby mode (Red LED). While in standby mode, your subwoofer will draw very minimal power.
1 SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUT terminals The speaker-level signal to the front speakers is distributed from these terminals. 2 SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT terminals Connect these input terminals to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier or receiver. 3 LINE INPUT jacks Connect these jacks to the LINE OUT jacks of the amplifier. 4 VOLUME LEVEL knob Use this knob to adjust the output level of the subwoofer. 5 Power indicator Red: Unit is in standby mode. Green: Unit is in operation mode.
Interconnect Cables When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many high quality 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 high quality quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors.

Protection Circuitry Your new subwoofer is equipped with circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability. The unit is protected against: 1) Overheating the amplifier. 2) Excessive drop in power line voltage. If either of the above should happen, you should reduce the volume setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return.
