Introduction Welcome to Wāvtech, exceptional mobile audio integration products for audiophiles. Our products are engineered to provide a truly remarkable listening experience. Built for the professional installer, our OEM integration and signal processor models are simply the best solution available for unlimited sound system upgrades while retaining the factory receiver.
Speaker Level Input Terminal: For left and right channel speaker ‘ ’ “ level (a.k.a. high level) connections to the source. Input signals ranging from 2Vrms to 20Vrms will produce up to 10Vrms RCA output from maximum to minimum gain. For factory amplifiers with more than 20Vrms signal or if the linkDQ’s output is too high for the connected aftermarket amplifier(s) with all gains at minimum, internal jumpers are available to reduce the input sensitivity range by half (-6dB) for 4Vrms up to 40Vrms.
Power Connection (+12V): The constant power connection should be made at the vehicle battery when possible. For direct battery connection, a 1-amp fuse must be installed in-line with the power wire within 18”of the battery and securely connected to the positive battery terminal bolt with a ring terminal. If connecting to another available constant +12V power source, a 1-amp in-line fuse must be added at the connection point. The power wire should be a minimum of 18AWG.
Example-2: Speaker Level Input from OEM Amplifier linkRC (optional) +12V GND REM OUT SPK IN RCA OUT 50 Note: In factory amplified systems where output from the radio is a fixed level or digital, input signal for the linkDQ should be connected after the OEM amplifier at its outputs. High voltage factory amplifiers may require changing the linkDQ’s internal input sensitivity range jumpers to the 40V position.
Example-4: RCA Input from Portable Audio Player linkRC (optional) +12V GND REM OUT RCA OUT 50 RCA IN Note: Portable devices such as smartphones typically have an output voltage of 1Vrms or less. If using the device as the system’s volume control, it may be necessary to adjust gain vs. volume range for consistent auto turn-on behavior. For optimal signal range and convenient master volume control, the linkRC remote level controller is recommended (sold separately).

Internal Jumper Locations and Settings While all Wāvtech models provide external controls for main adjustments, there are also a few internal configuration jumpers available to resolve certain special vehicle or system conditions. The linkDQ’s internal jumper locations and default settings are shown in the illustration below. To access these jumpers, simply remove the two top screws from each end panel and loosen two bottom screws on one side in order to easily remove the chassis top cover.
Warranty & Service Care Wāvtech warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year when purchased from an authorized Wāvtech retailer within the United States. This warranty will be extended to a period of two (2) years when the installation is performed by an authorized Wāvtech retailer. A valid sales receipt is required to verify eligibility of purchase and installation.
