● ● ● ● ● Speaker separation
The distance between the speakers will have a considerable effect on the
stereo image and apparent placement of sound. A good rule of thumb for most
listening rooms is to have the left and right speakers between 6-9 feet apart.
● ● ● ● ● Fine tune position (up/down)
If the speakers are at a different height than the listener, it may be beneficial
to tilt the speakers up or down to aim them more directly at the listening area.
● ● ● ● ● Fine tune position (left/right)
Once general position of the speakers is selected, adjust the angle of the
speakers. In some installations you may need to "toe in" the speakers to aim
them at the listeners.
● ● ● ● ● Tone control adjustment
These speakers are designed to provide a very smooth and accurate frequency
response, in most rooms, without any extra equalization. This makes
adjusting the tone controls (bass/treble) unnecessary in most installations.
● ● ● ● ● Room furnishings
The type and location of furnishings in your room may greatly affect the
sound you hear. Rooms with hardwood floors and minimal upholstered
surfaces may sound very bright and live from an extra amount of reflected
sound. Other rooms with heavily padded floors and carpeting, along with
thick drape tend to make the sound warm and softer. Keep this in mind when
setting up your audio/video listening room.

Connection Thru Subwoofer
(line-level)
Figure 4 illustrates how to connect your new satellite speakers through
your Velodyne subwoofer's line level crossover. This is only possible if
your receiver has in/out loop connections that separate the amp and pre-
amp stages. Consult the manual for your receiver for further information
on this capability. This will remove the lower bass from your front satellite
speakers only. Other speakers will still receive full range information. This
method should only be used if your receiver does not have high pass
crossover functions built into the surround sound processor.
