Introduction
Welcome
to
Wavtech, 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
or
with
an
aftermarket
source.

0 Power Indicator: This red
LED
indicates when the
bassRESTOR
is powered on. Once illuminated, there
will
be a
short
delay before audio signal
output
is enabled. During initial
power
connections,
it
may
illuminate
for
a
brief
period.
8 Ground Jumper: For selecting between chassis, isolation
or
2000
for
the
internal audio signal ground.
Chassis
ground
is
the
default
setting and ideal
for
most
applications due
to
the
differential
input
stage.
In
the
rare
case
there
is
system noise present
after
all
other
installation countermeasures,
changing this
jumper
to
ISO
or
2000
may reduce
or
eliminate
the
noise.
0 Power Supply Terminal: For +12V battery, chassis ground, remote
input
and remote
output
wire
connections. A minimum
of
18AWG wire
is
recommended
for
power and ground connections. Always
protect
the
+12V
power
wire
with
a 1-amp fuse.
8 Speaker Level
Input
Terminal: For
left
and
right
channel speaker level (a.k.a. high level) connections
to
the
source. In
the
default
setting,
input
signals ranging from 4Vrms
to
40Vrms
will
produce up
to
1 0Vrms
RCA
output
from maximum
to
minimum gain.
If
after
adjusting all
other
settings the
bassRESTOR's
output
is
not
enough
to
maximize system levels
at
the
desired source volume range,
internal
jumpers
are available
to
increase
input
sensitivity by
two
times (+6dB)
for
2Vrms
to
20Vrms.
0
RCA
Input
Jacks: For
left
and
right
channel
low
level (a.k.a. line level) signal connections
to
the source.
In
the
default
setting,
input
signals ranging
from
1 Vrms
to
1 0Vrms
will
produce up
to
1 0Vrms
RCA
output
from
maximum
to
minimum gain.
If
more
output
is desired
after
making all
other
system
adjustments,
the
input
sensitivity range may be increased by
two
times (+6dB) via internal jumpers
for
0.SVrms
to
SVrms. Additionally, these di
fferential
inputs may be set
to
unbalanced via internal
jumpers
if
required
for
a particular source
or
to
midigate
potential
for
coupled noise
if
left
floating.
0 Remote Level
Control
Jack: This
RJ45
jack
is
for
connecting
the
remote level
control
to
the main
unit
with
the
supplied cable. A standard
ethernet
cable may also be used.
8
RCA
Output
Jacks: For
left
and
right
channel line level signal connections
to
your
amplifier(s).
Each
output
is
capable
of
driving
multiple
amplifier
input
channels in parallel.
Use
quality interconnects
to
ensure stable connection and minimize the possibility
for
induced noise.
0
Mounting
Tabs:
These mounting tabs are pre-attached and should be used
to
properly secure
the
bassRESTOR
during installation
with
screws
or
cable ties. They are removable
if
the
unit
can
be safely
secured by
another
method.
0 Remote Housing: This 2-piece housing design provides
both
convenient mounting
and simple dissasembly
for
customization. The integrated screw
mount
tabs are
pre-scored
to
aid removal
if
securing by
another
method, and
the
lower
housing
can
be detatched by removing the
two
top
screws. For custom panel mounting,
the
housing
can
be completely disassembled
by
also removing the main knob,
outer
ring,
shaft
nut, circuit board screw and relocating the
LED.
If
the housing
is
removed,
it
is recommended
to
protect
the
exposed
PCB
with
heat shrink.
