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 or with an aftermarket source.
Œ
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.
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. In the default setting, input signals ranging from 4Vrms to 40Vrms will produce up to
10Vrms 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.
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 1Vrms to 10Vrms will produce up to 10Vrms 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
0.5Vrms to 5Vrms. Additionally, these differential 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.
‘
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.
’
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.
“
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.
”
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.
