Connect Subwoofer  
1. Use the included power cord to connect the subwoofer to a power outlet.  
2. Turn the POWeR switch to the On position. The AcTIVe light should be yellow.  
NOTE: After 12 minutes without receiving a signal, the AcTIVe light turns red to indicate STAnd By mode. The  
subwoofer will automatically go from STAnd By mode to AcTIVe when it detects an audio signal.  
3. Turn the VOLUME knob to MIN to prevent blasting music when you first use the subwoofer. You can  
increase the VOlUme to the correct level later.  
4. you’re done. no more wires to connect!  
5. Go to the Select Wireless Broadcast Channel instructions next.  
Select Wireless Broadcast Channel  
The wireless transmitter can broadcast your audio signals on one of four selectable channels. multiple channels  
are made available in case other devices in your home are using some of the channels for communication.  
To select the broadcast channel:  
1. Review the Wireless Broadcast Considerations below.  
2. Use the cHAnnel switch on the back of the wireless transmitter to select “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4” as the  
broadcast channel.  
3. Use the cHAnnel switch on the back of the subwoofer to select the same broadcast channel as you  
selected on the wireless transmitter.  
4. Go to the Adjust Subwoofer Controls for Listening Preferences instructions next.  
Wireless Broadcast Considerations  
All wireless devices like the Wic-10 may be susceptible to radio frequency (RF) interference from other devices.  
Other RF devices include WiFi Internet access, computer equipment and routers; WiFi solar panel monitoring  
systems; video game consoles, cordless telephones, blue tooth devices, baby monitors and microwave ovens.  
In particular, any devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band may cause intermittent wireless connections between  
the wireless transmitter and subwoofer.  
To prevent wireless broadcast interference problems, keep wireless devices at least 2’ apart. Any interference  
effects from a microwave oven will cease once the oven stops operating and may be resolved on a long-term  
basis by increasing the physical distance between the subwoofer and the microwave oven.  
If the Wic-10 sound is intermittent, check that another wireless device isn’t within 2’ of either the wireless  
transmitter or the subwoofer.  
8 - WiConnect User’s Manual  
Adjust Subwoofer Controls for Listening Preferences  
now it’s time to adjust the subwoofer controls to match your listening environment and preferences.  
1. Play some music through your receiver.  
2. Turn the subwoofer’s VOlUme to a level that balances with the output volume of your satellite speakers  
and doesn’t distort the bass sounds. you might also want to adjust your receiver’s lFe output volume  
higher, if you can’t get a loud enough subwoofer output, or lower, if the subwoofer output is too loud.  
3. If you didn’t use the lFe InPUT on the wireless transmitter, optionally, adjust the subwoofer’s lOW  
PASS FReQUency to provide a wireless transmitter input equivalent to an lFe input. The lOW PASS  
FReQUency is the frequency at which the subwoofer’s output starts to decrease as the frequency  
increases. your satellite speakers output the frequencies not covered by the subwoofer. you want to  
not be able to hear the transition from the subwoofer output to your satellite speakers’ output. you can  
adjust this frequency from between 50 Hz to 200 Hz. To adjust this frequency:  
a. If your satellite speakers are small with limited low frequency output, choose a lOW PASS  
FReQUency of between 100 Hz and 120 Hz.  
b. If your satellite speakers are larger with better low frequency output, choose a lOW PASS FReQUency  
of around 80 Hz.  
c. Adjust the lOW PASS FReQUency based on listening to your audio system until it sounds pleasing to  
your ear.  
4. Optionally, switch the subwoofer’s PHASe to 180°. This reverses the phase of the subwoofer to correct  
for sound cancellations between your subwoofer and your satellite speakers. To determine which PHASe  
is best for your room and subwoofer location:  
a. listen to the system with music playing.  
b. Ask a friend to switch the PHASe switch from 0° to 180° while you listen for a change in the mid-  
bass loudness.  
c. The correct PHASe is the one that you hear as having louder mid-bass.  
d. If you can’t tell a difference, keep the phase at 0°.  
5. Go to the Adjust Subwoofer location for listening Preferences instructions next.  
Adjust Subwoofer Location for Listening Preferences  
Optionally, you can now optimize the location of the subwoofer for your listening preferences by either using the  
“Crawl Test” or the “Move Test.”  
Crawl Test  
In this test, the subwoofer stays in one spot and you move around the room to different listening spots. To do  
the “Crawl Test”:  
1. Place the subwoofer on the floor or table near your most often used seating location. Velodyne doesn’t  
recommend placing the subwoofer on the actual seating surface. The weight of the subwoofer or its  
corners could damage the seating surface or structure. Also, placing the subwoofer on a very soft  
surface, such as a sofa cushion, will not allow the downward firing speaker cone to extend out freely  
without hitting the surface and causing damage to the speaker.  
2. Play some music on the audio system.  
3. crawl around to various spots in the room until you hear the best sounding bass output to you. When  
you hear the best bass output, you have determined the placement of the subwoofer for your listening  
preferences.  
4. Re-locate the subwoofer from the seating location to the spot you crawled to that sounded the best.  
5. you’re done with this best placement test and setting up the subwoofer. enjoy!  
WiConnect User’s Manual - 9  
Move Test  
In this test, you stay in one listening spot and you move the subwoofer around the room. To do the “move Test”:  
1. Place the subwoofer in a new location in the room.  
2. Sit in the seating location you use most often.  
3. Play some music on the audio system.  
4. listen to the audio output.  
5. Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 until you hear the best sounding bass output to you. When you hear the  
best bass output, you have determined the placement of the subwoofer for your listening preferences.  
6. you’re done with this best placement test and setting up the subwoofer. enjoy!  
Connect Multiple Wireless Subwoofers  
In a Single Audio System  
If you are using more than one wireless subwoofer in a single audio system, the following two setup options  
exist.  
OPTIOn #1: All subwoofers receive the same audio signal. This is the most common setup. For this setup:  
1. connect only one wireless transmitter to your receiver. Follow the instructions for OPTION #1 or OPTION  
#2 in the Connect Wireless Transmitter Section.  
2. Follow the instructions for SETUP #1 in the Select Receiver Options for Optimal Subwoofer  
Performance section.  
3. Set the same wireless broadcast channel on the wireless transmitter and all subwoofers. Follow the  
instructions in the Select Wireless Broadcast Channel section.  
4. Follow the instructions in the Adjust Subwoofer controls section for each subwoofer.  
OPTION #2: Subwoofers receive different audio signals. This is a less common setup. Usually, this setup uses  
one subwoofer for the R audio channel and one subwoofer for the l audio channel. If using separate R and  
l channel subwoofers, place each subwoofer within a couple of feet of the appropriate main speaker for the  
channel. If the system’s crossover frequency is high, each subwoofer should be even closer to its channel’s  
main speaker. For this setup:  
1. connect a wireless transmitter to each signal you want to transmit to a subwoofer. Usually, one for the  
R and one for the l channel. Follow instructions for SETUP #2 in the Connect Wireless Transmitter  
Section, except pair one transmitter’s R input to the R channel receiver output and the other transmitter’s  
l channel input to the l channel receiver output.  
2. Follow the instructions for OPTION #3 in the Select Receiver Options for Optimal Subwoofer  
Performance section.  
3. Follow the instructions in the Select Wireless Broadcast Channel section, except:  
a. Select a unique wireless broadcast channel for each wireless transmitter.  
b. match the wireless broadcast channel on each subwoofer to that of the wireless transmitter that  
broadcasts the audio signal the subwoofer is to output.  
4. Follow the instructions in the Adjust Subwoofer Controls section for each subwoofer.  
In Separate Audio Systems  
If you have multiple audio systems in your home, such as one in the family movie room and another in a  
bedroom or office, you can use a separate wireless transmitter in each system. In this case, use a different  
wireless broadcast channel for each system, to avoid the subwoofers from getting input from multiple systems  
due to the close proximity of the systems.  
10 - WiConnect User’s Manual  
Use the Subwoofer’s LFE Input (Optional)  
In case you misplace the wireless transmitter or the wireless transmitter malfunctions, you can also connect the  
subwoofer to your receiver with an RcA cable.  
1. Use the RcA cable, supplied by you, to connect one end of the RcA cable to the subwoofer’s lFe In  
input.  
2. connect the other end of the RcA cable to either the receiver’s:  
• LFE or SUB output  
• Or the R output channel (red or purple connector)  
• Or use a “Y” connector (notincluded) to connect both the Rand L output channels  
3. Go to the Adjust Subwoofer Controls for Listening Preferences instructions next.  
NOTE: do not use the subwoofer’s lFe connection option if you are already using the wireless connection  
option.  
WiConnect User’s Manual - 11  
Mount Wireless Transmitter on Wall (Optional)  
Optionally, you can mount the wireless transmitter on the wall or place in a location that better organizes your  
audio components. The transmitter doesn’t have to be visually in view in the room to function properly.  
1. Use the template below to mark the mounting locations on the wall. mark the two screw locations for  
either the horizontal or vertical mounting orientation.  
2. Hand turn one of the included self-tapping wood screws into each marked location. Tighten the screws  
until about 1/8” (3.17mm) of the screw shank is exposed.  
3. Hook two of the slotted holes on back of the wireless transmitter to the two screws. There is no right way  
up for the transmitter. It can be mounted in any orientation.  
NOTE: The provided wood screws aren’t suitable for stone or other hard wall surfaces. If you can’t hand drive  
the screws, you may need to drill holes and provide other wall anchors.

Protection Circuitry  
The subwoofer is equipped with protection circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability.  
The subwoofer is protected against:  
Overdriving the speaker  
Overdriving the amplifier  
Overheating the amplifier  
Excessive drop in power line voltage  
The overdrive protection circuitry operates constantly without being audible under most situations.  
If the subwoofer should shut down, reduce the volume setting and shut the subwoofer off until it cools down.  
The time the subwoofer takes to cool down depends on the ambient room temperature, but typically at least 10  
minutes are required for the subwoofer to cool down and recover from the thermal shutdown.  
Also, plug the unit into a different wall socket. Overloaded sockets or damaged home wiring circuits can cause  
power voltage drops while the subwoofer is drawing high power levels. This condition can result in the subwoofer  
shutting down intermittently.
