Thank you for purchasing a Velodyne! continued. . 9 2 Installation Your new VA-806/907 subwoofer system provides for a number of installation options. Read all the installation information below in order to determine which installation option is best for your system. Remember to perform all installation procedures with system power turned off. When using a pair of VA-806/907 subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer adjacent to the satellite of the same channel. Keep in mind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by placement depending on the acoustic properties of the listening room. Typically the VA-806/709 will sound louder when placed next to a wall or in a corner. Do not place the cabinet next to sources of heat such as furnace registers, radiators, etc. The power cord should be routed in such a way that it will not be walked on, pinched, or compressed in any way. Regardless of where you install your VA-806/907 subwoofer, it must remain in an upright position (passive radiator facing downward). [. . . ] If your main speakers are smaller units with limited low frequency output, you may wish to choose a higher frequency (such as 100-120hz) than you would with larger speakers which have greater low frequency output. With larger speakers, you might start with this control set lower, such as 80hz. VOLUME FREQUENCY CAUTION! WARNING: AVIS: +R - - L + MAIN OUTPUTS (speaker-level) Phase adjustment This control allows you the ability to compensate for having the subwoofer in a different location than the main speakers. Ideally, you will have the sound from the subwoofer reach the listening position the same time as the sound from the main speakers. [. . . ]
