Your new Velodyne subwoofer, like any good speaker system, requires proper positioning within the listening space to provide maximum performance.
Volume Control This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers/amplifier in your system.

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.

When using speaker level connections, use a high quality speaker cable that mates well with the connectors.
