DPS User’s Manual
T
rue 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 one to two feet from your TV to the subwoofer will be adequate to avoid any
magnetic interference.
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.
Do not use any harsh detergents or chemicals to clean the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or
cleaning solutions will damage the finish on the cabinet. We recommend using a damp cloth to
clean the front, back and sides. Use a soft cloth with a good quality furniture polish to clean the
hand-r
ubbed, black lacquer, painted top. During normal conditions, the subwoofer may be left
on continuously without any problems. If you plan to leave the unit unused for an extended period
of time, we recommend that you turn off the unit by the master power switch on the rear panel.
