WaveCAST EIGHT
Quick Setup Instructions
1. Position the WaveCAST EIGHT transmitter near the sound system or mixer from which it will receive audio. We do not
recommend wall or ceiling mounting, or putting the device on a cart.
2. Connect the power supply to the Power Supply connector located on the back of the WaveCAST EIGHT. Press the power
button on the front of the WaveCAST EIGHT. The power button should light up. If not, go back and check the power
connections.
3. Push the power button to turn the unit off.
4. Connect the audio source(s) to the Phoenix-style connectors on the rear of the WaveCAST EIGHT. Each connector will be its
own channel.
5. Connect a CAT 5e Ethernet cable from your local area network, or Wi-Fi router to the connector on the transmitter labelled
Ethernet. This network will be used to broadcast the audio.
6. Push the power button to turn the unit on.
7. Once the transmitter detects an active network is present, the WaveCAST EIGHT’s IP address will be displayed at the top of the main
screen
8. Open a web browser on a computer or mobile device that is also connected to the same local network as the WaveCAST
EIGHT. In the address bar of the browser, type in the IP address that is shown on the front of the transmitter's main info screen,
and push the enter key on the keyboard. (Note: it is not necessary to type “http://” or “www.” preceding the IP address, just the
characters following “IP:”, including the periods)
9. The browser will open the transmitter's web page, displaying a Login button. Click the log-in button and enter the user name
“admin” and the default password “admin”.
10. The web browser will now show the transmitter's Main Settings tab, which shows the current WaveCAST EIGHT status info. The
tabs at the top navigate to different pages that allow adjustment of the settings. The channel to adjust can be selected from the
drop down menu at the top right.
11. Adjust any of the server settings, such as the server name, if desired.
For each channel:
1. If the channel should be disabled, go to the options page. Uncheck the 'channel enabled' box and click submit. Channels are
enabled by default, and will show up on the WaveCAST App. Disabled channels will not show on the app.
2. On the main settings page, adjust the audio gain, unbalanced or balanced audio source, and the audio preset for each channel
that will be used. Click submit when finished.
3. Adjust any other channel specific settings as needed.
4. Use a personal device with the WaveCAST App installed to listen to the audio and test that device is working and sounds
correct.
