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.

Power Indicator: This red LED indicates when the bassFREQ 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.
Ground Jumper: For selecting between chassis, isolation or 200Ω 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 200Ω may reduce or eliminate the noise.

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.
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 at
maximum to minimum gain setting. Dynamic music signal peaks are allowable up to 40Vrms, but will
be clipped. Use this input if your source unit does not have RCA outputs.
RCA Input Jacks: For left and right channel low level (a.k.a. line level) signal connections to the source
unit. These two channels are summed and processed internally in mono. Input signals ranging from
0.5Vrms to 5Vrms will produce up to 10Vrms RCA output at maximum to minimum gain setting.
‘
Remote Level Control Jack: This RJ45 jack is for connecting the supplied cable to the external level
control unit for remote mounting. A standard ethernet cable may also be used.
’
RCA Output Jacks: These mono line level outputs are for signal connection to your amplifier(s). Each
output is an independent internal circuit, both capable of driving multiple amplifiers simultaneously.
Use quality interconnects to ensure stable connection and minimize the possibility for induced noise.
“
Mounting Tabs: These mounting tabs are pre-attached and should be used to properly secure the
bassFREQ during installation with screws or cable ties. They are removable if the unit can be safely
secured by another method.
