INTERCONNECT CABLES
During installation of your Velodyne Acoustics DB subwoofer using the line level connections,
you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many high quality cables available
today. It is recommended 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 speaker cable that mates well
with the connectors. Be careful to avoid any loose strands or frayed wires that may result in
a short, which could damage your equipment. Be aware that cables of extremely large size
are not required due to the low current draw of this type of connection. Please note that
extremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in the terminals, resulting in a poor
connection and possible short circuits.
CARE OF YOUR SUBWOOFER
In regards to care of your Velodyne Acoustics subwoofer, normal dusting or cleaning of the surface
for appearance purposes is all that is required. We suggest you avoid any harsh detergents or
chemicals when cleaning the cabinet. The finish on the cabinet may become damaged with the
use of abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions. We highly recommend using only a damp cloth
to clean the cabinet.
Under normal conditions, your subwoofer may be left on continuously without any problems.
The unit is equipped with a signal-sensing on/off circuit that will automatically turn on the unit
when a signal is present at the inputs and turn off the unit after several minutes when there is
no longer any signal at the inputs.
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
Velodyne Acoustics 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. You may also want to plug the unit into a different
wall outlet, as dropping power line voltage will be most noticeable under strenuous conditions
and may result in the unit shutting down intermittently.
