To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open speaker enclosure or amp chassis cover. Please observe all warnings on the equipment itself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Please refer all service questions to your authorized Velodyne dealer or service representative.
PLACEMENT OF YOUR SUBWOOFER The first step in installing your new MicroVee is to determine where it will be placed in the room. Unpack the system carefully and use the following guidelines in order to find the best room placement option.
INSTALLATION Your new Velodyne subwoofer provides for a number of installation options. Read all the installation information below in order to determine which installation option is best suited for your system. Remember to perform all installation procedures with system power turned off to prevent possible damage.

The correct position will have a greater amount of apparent low frequency output. Crossover Switch - INTERNAL X-OVER/SUBWOOFER DIRECT This switch allows the microVee’s internal crossover circuitry to be bypassed. This is required in certain installations which route the signal through external processors with a crossover circuit of their own. Simply move the switch to SUBWOOFER DIRECT to disengage the built-in crossover.

In these installations you may need to bypass the crossover in either the processor or the MicroVee. In some installations, simply setting one crossover to a higher frequency (such as 120 Hz) will restore maximum performance. To bypass the subwoofer’s internal crossover when the unit is being fed a low pass signal from another crossover, simply locate the switch marked INTERNAL X-OVER/SUBWOOFER DIRECT on the rear panel of the subwoofer and set to the SUBWOOFER DIRECT position.
“lFe Out” or “Subwoofer Out” on the back of your receiver will pass into your Velodyne subwoofer. This connection is the most common connection method when using your subwoofer with a 5.1 receiver. (Cable needed: 1 mono RCA cable.)

“wake up” even when signal is present. If this occurs, simply use a “y” adapter (available from most dealers) to allow your processor’s single sub line to be fed into both l&R inputs. This will make the unit turn on at lower signal levels. www.velodyne.com MicroVee User’s Manual - 7...

SPEAKER-LEVEL CONNECTION - OPTION C Figure 4 shows an easy way to connect your Velodyne subwoofer directly to your receiver or integrated amplifier if it lacks line-level outputs. You may also connect your satellites directly to your receiver or amplifier along with the subwoofer.
INTERCONNECT CABLES when installing your new Velodyne subwoofer using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many quality cables available. we recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
