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.

Figure 2 shows connection from a pre-amplifier’s main outputs to the left and right inputs of your Velodyne subwoofer. You will also need to connect a second pair of RCA cables from the outputs on the back of your subwoofer to the inputs on the back of your amplifier. When the...
S p e a k e r - L e v e l C o n n e c t i o n s Figure 3 shows an easy way to connect your Velodyne subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier, if it lacks line-level outputs.
I n t e r c o n n e c t C a b l e s When installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many decent cables available today, most any of which will work perfectly well.
