C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s Congratulations on your purchase of a Velodyne subwoofer system. This system represents the state-of-the-art in low frequency reproduction and will provide you with years of listening pleasure when properly cared for.
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.
I n s ta l l a t i o n I n p u t s 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.
S u b w o o f e r O u t p u t s The Velodyne subwoofer is designed to operate using the full range audio signal for input when using the built-in crossover. Some processors/receivers have a “subwoofer out” jack that is internally filtered and designed to be used with a conventional amplifier and speaker.

When one input channel is used instead of two, the unit will see lower signal levels present at the inputs.
