INTERCONNECT CABLES
when installing your new Velodyne 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 withthe connectors.
Be very careful to avoid any loose strands or frayed wires that may result in ashort, which may damage your
equipment. Cables of extremely large size are not required due to the low current draw of this type of connection.
Extremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in the terminals, resulting in a poor connection and possible
short circuits.
CARE OF YOUR SUBWOOFER
Your Velodyne subwoofer does not require any regular maintenance. Normal dusting or cleaningof the surface
for appearance purposes is all that is required. We suggest you avoid any harsh detergents or chemicals when
cleaning the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the cabinet. We
recommend using only a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.
during normal conditions, your new subwoofer may be left on continuously without anyproblems. The unit is
equipped with a signal-sensing turn on/off that will automatically turn onthe unit when a signal is present at the
inputs and turn off the unit after several minutes whenthere is no longer any signal at the inputs.
PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
Your new subwoofer is equipped with circuitry to provide maximum performance withgreatest 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.
