subwoofer and turn it counterclockwise to the "DIRECT" position.
This will eliminate the internal crossover from the signal path.
Note:
If not using an external crossover, you should use the built-in crossover
for optimal performance. When using a single RCA sub out from the
processor, it does not matter which line level input (L/R) is used.
Interconnect Cables
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. We do recommend that you keep the length of
cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
When using speaker level connections, use a decent quality
speaker cable that mates well with the connectors (at least 14
gauge). Be very careful to avoid any loose or frayed strands that
could result in a short, causing a dangerous condition and possible
damage to your unit. Cables of extremely large size are typically
not required. Extremely large gauge wire may not properly fit in
the binding posts, resulting in a poor connection and possible short
circuits.
Placement
True subwoofers operate at extremely low frequencies, which are
primarily omni-directional. While it is recommended that the
subwoofers 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
your listening room. Typically, the optimum location for a subwoofer
is in a front 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 is typically far away
from any walls, close to the center of your room and near an opening
or door way. 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. Typically, a
minimum distance of 1 to 2 feet from your TV to the subwoofer will
be adequate to avoid any magnetic interference.
