Wet Sounds WS-220 BT Operations / Installation Manual
5
SYSTEM SETUP WITH THE WS-220 BT
1. Unplug all RCA cables from system amplifiers. Set all amp gains to Zero
(minimum input).
2. Turn the main source unit up to find the maximum volume. Set the
system with the main source unit at 85% of maximum volume. THIS
IS THE LOUDEST THE SOURCE UNIT SHOULD EVER GO. Source units
(radios, head units, etc) will create distortion on the output signal when
the volume is set close to max. This distortion will then be sent to the
amplifiers, which can damage speakers and other components in an
audio system. Find an easy way to remember safe volume. If source
unit max is 35, do not exceed 30. If source unit max is 50, do not exceed
45…etc.
3. Once the max volume set point is found, turn the source unit back
down. Use test material (CD or MP3 source) that is familiar for tuning.
Suggested material has highs/lows & vocals.
4. Make sure the setting on the source unit are flat, or in the middle. Treble
& Bass should be set at ZERO.
5. Plug in only the RCA cables for the amp connected to the in boat
speakers (usually Zone 2). Set the high pass crossover on the amp in the
80Hz -100Hz range.
6. Turn the source unit up to the max safe level found in Step 2 above. Turn
the Master level control on the WS-220BT to about ¾ of max. Set the
Zone level control to about ¾ of max.
7. Slowly turn up the gain control on the amp until speaker distortion is
heard. Slowly back off the amp gain from that point until the speakers
play as loud as possible without distortion. This is the optimal setting.
8. Repeat this same procedure for all other FULL RANGE channels in the
system (NOT SUBWOOFER CHANNELS!)
