West Mountain Radio
Operating Manual
Thank you for choosing the PWRspkr 15W. You will find that this
LOUD loudspeaker improves your communications especially in noisy
environments.
The PWRspkr 15W is a loudspeaker containing a 15-watt RMS linear power
amplifier. The amplifier uses an active bandpass filter that limits the audio to
a 300Hz to 3.2kHz bandwidth. This makes it ideal for voice communications.
The PWRspkr 15W comes with two six foot cables. The audio cable plugs
into the 3.5 mm speaker or headphone output of a radio. The powerpole
connector plugs into any 12 volt power source.
The volume control allows for setting the audio level for comfortable listening.
The PWRspkr 15W has plenty of gain. It can get very loud and this is useful
in a noisy vehicle.
The PWRspkr 15W is ideal for mobile radio stations for hams, CB radio,
commercial radio, emergency radio, ambulances, police vehicles, and small
public address systems.
Installation
The PWRspkr 15W should be installed in a weather-protected area. If it is for
communication purposes place it near the operator. The cables are six feet
long.
Remove the bracket from the speaker housing. Then secure the bracket to
any flat surface using the supplied screws or other hardware. Re-mount the
loudspeaker, aim it, and securely tighten the knurled nuts.
The audio cable has a stereo 3.5 mm plug. The tip is for the audio, the ring
is not connected, and the sleeve is common. This connector is for mono
audio. When plugged into a stereo source the PWRspkr 15W will play the left
channel audio only; it will not short out the right channel. A stereo extension
cable may be added if needed.
The power cable is fitted with red and black Powerpole connectors. It should
be plugged into a fused source, such as a RIGrunner power strip connected
to 12 volts. Use a 5 Amp fuse. The Red is plus 12 volts, and Black is common.
An extension cable may be used if needed.
