WARNING CAUTION This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death. This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or property damages. WARNING • DO NOT DRIVE WHILE DISTRACTED. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should not be performed while driving. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing any such function. Failure to do so may result in an accident.

• ROUTE WIRING AWAY FROM SHARP EDGES AND MOVING PARTS. Arrange cables and wiring away from sharp or pointed edges and avoid moving parts such as seat hinges or rails to prevent pinching or wear. Use loom protection where appropriate and always use a grommet for any wiring routed through metal. • NEVER RUN SYSTEM WIRING OUTSIDE OR UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. All wiring must be routed, secured and protected inside the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in ﬁre, injury or property damage.

Connections & Functions Œ Ž ‘ ’ Œ Power Indicator: This red LED indicates when the linkT is powered on. Once illuminated, there will be a short delay before audio signal output is enabled. During initial power connection, the LED may illuminate for a brief period. Ground Jumper: For selecting between chassis, isolation or 200Ω for the internal audio signal ground. Chassis ground is the default setting and is ideal for most applications due to the diﬀerential input stage.

Installation & System Wiring It is important to read this manual thoroughly before starting your installation and always plan accordingly. Before installing any Wāvtech product, disconnect the negative (ground) wire from the vehicle’s battery to avoid damage to the vehicle or yourself. Following all guidelines will help provide years of enjoyment with your Wāvtech linkT audio interface.

Top Panel Adjustments Ž Œ Clipping Indicators: Ž These yellow LEDs indicate when the output signal from Œ each channel is at maximum level Ž before clipping (distortion) occurs. Each will be dimly lit just below the onset of Œ clipping, and full bright at clipping. Since the linkT will produce over 10Vrms at full output, gain may need to be reduced well below the point of illumination in order to match your ampliﬁer’s maximum input capability or optimize source volume range.

System Examples Example-1: Speaker Level Input from OEM Radio +12V GND SPK IN REM OUT Note: When using a receiver’s internal power IC to drive speakers directly and provide the linkT with signal, note that its speaker outputs will likely clip below the maximum master volume level. Adjust gain settings accordingly for optimum unclipped volume range.

Example-4: Multiple Channels & System Expansion RLC +12V GND CH1/2 IN CH1/2 OUT CH3/4 OUT CH3/4 IN REM OUT SUB OUT Note: Multiple linkTs can be used for aligning more channels such as front and rear, biamped components, or large subwoofer systems. Other Wāvtech models can also be added for additional conversion channels and features. In this example, the bassFREQ provides remote level control, parametric EQ and -24dB/oct crossover for a subwoofer.
