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
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. This
location will usually offer the greatest output levels and optimum low
frequency extension. The worst location for a subwoofer it 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. Typically, a
minimum distance of 2 to 3 feet from your TV to
the subwoofer will be adequate to avoid any magnetic interferance.
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, humidifiers, 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.
Although measures have been taken to shield the magnetic structure of
your subwoofer, Velodyne does not recommend that the subwoofer be
placed directly above, below, behind, or next to your TV or video
monitor. Distortion of the picture may still occur due to stray magnetic
fields.
Care of your subwoofer
Do not use any harsh detergents or chemicals to clean the cabinet.
Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the
cabinet. We recommend using a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.
During normal conditions, the subwoofer may be left on continuously
without any problems. The unit is equipped with a signal sensing turn on/
off that will automatically turn on the unit when a signal is present at the
continued. . .
