C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s Congratulations on your purchase of a Velodyne MicroVee 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 used and 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 near the satellite of the same channel.
I n s ta l l a t i o n 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 off to prevent possible damage.

“LFE Out” or “Subwoofer Out” on the back of your receiver will pass into your Velodyne subwoofer. This connection is the most common connection method when using your subwoofer with a 5.1 receiver. (Cable needed: 1 mono RCA cable.) Figure 2.

Figure 3 shows connection from your audio player or gaming console output to the MINI-JACK of your Velodyne subwoofer. Use the supplied cable to connect from the output of your dock, computer or gaming console to the input jack of the MicroVee. Connect the satellite speakers into the thru-jack on the back of the MicroVee subwoofer.
S p e a k e r - L e v e l C o n n e c t i o n - O P T I O N C Figure 4 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 quality cables available. We recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
