• Who is the official Australian distributor for Velodyne?
  Audio Visual Revolution (AVR) is Australia's exclusive distributor for Velodyne. All Velodyne subwoofers sold through avrevolution.com.au and our authorised dealer network are genuine, locally warranted, and supported by the official Australian importer. The Velodyne SPL-X series starts from AU$899.
• What is Velodyne's background as a subwoofer brand?
  Velodyne Acoustics was founded in San Jose, California in 1983 by David Hall. The company pioneered servo-controlled subwoofer technology — using a built-in accelerometer to measure and correct cone movement in real time — a design documented in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society and widely cited as an industry benchmark for bass accuracy. Velodyne is consistently rated among the top subwoofer brands by What Hi-Fi?, StereoNET, and Stereophile.
• Do I need a subwoofer with bookshelf speakers?
  A well-integrated subwoofer is often the single best upgrade for a bookshelf speaker system. Rather than simply adding bass, a subwoofer relieves the main speakers from reproducing low frequencies — improving midrange clarity and dynamic headroom across the entire system. Most bookshelf speakers roll off below 60–80Hz; a Velodyne subwoofer fills this gap without replacing what the main speakers do best.
• What crossover frequency should I use with a Velodyne subwoofer for music?
  For stereo music listening, set the crossover between 60–80Hz — lower than the home theatre default of 100–120Hz. This produces a more natural integration where the sub is felt rather than heard as a separate source. Start at 80Hz and reduce until the bass sounds tight and cohesive rather than bloated. For home theatre, 100–120Hz is the standard setting.
• Where can I buy Velodyne subwoofers in Australia?
  Velodyne subwoofers are available directly from avrevolution.com.au with free shipping on orders over $500. You can also audition Velodyne at AVR's authorised dealer network. Visit avrevolution.com.au/pages/dealers to find your nearest stockist. The Velodyne SPL-X series starts from AU$899.
• Can I connect a Velodyne subwoofer to an amplifier without a subwoofer output?
  Yes. Connect the Velodyne using its speaker-level inputs — running speaker cable from your amplifier's speaker terminals to the subwoofer's high-level input. Most Velodyne subwoofers support speaker-level input. This method also captures the tonal character of your amplifier, which can help the sub integrate more naturally with your main speakers.
• Are Velodyne subwoofers covered by an Australian warranty?
  Yes. All Velodyne subwoofers purchased through AVR carry a 2-year Australian warranty. As the exclusive local distributor, warranty claims are handled entirely in Australia — no overseas returns required. Free shipping on orders over $500 from avrevolution.com.au.
