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.

Œ

 Power Indicator:  This red LED indicates 
when the link6 is powered on. Once 
illuminated, there will be a short delay 
before audio signal output is enabled. 
During initial power connection, the 
LED may illuminate for a brief period. 



Auto Turn-On Detect Jumpers:  By 
default, the link6 is set to detect 
both DC-offset and audio signal for 
turning itself on/off automatically. 
These jumpers allow either mode to 
be independently defeated for cases 
where only one turn-on mode is 
preferred or to bypass both modes 

when a sw12V trigger is available and connected to the REM IN terminal.

Ž

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 Terminals:  For up to six channels of speaker level input connections to the source. 
Input signals ranging from 2Vrms to 20Vrms will produce up to 10Vrms RCA output from maximum to 
minimum gain. For factory amplifiers with more than 20Vrms signal or if the link6’s output is too high 
for the connected aftermarket amplifier(s) with all gains at minimum, internal jumpers are available to 
reduce the input sensitivity range by half (-6dB) for 4Vrms up to 40Vrms.



Auxiliary Input Jack:  This 3.5mm stereo AUX input is for the connection of a portable device such as a 
smartphone or MP3 player, but may also be used for other low level (a.k.a line level) sources using a 
3.5mm adapter. AUX may be selected as a separate source via the multi-function remote, or 
programmed as the primary source for stand-alone systems where the speaker level inputs are not 
used (see pg4). Input signals ranging from 0.5Vrms to 5Vrms will produce up to 10Vrms RCA output at 
maximum to minimum gain setting. This input is differential but may be set to unbalanced via internal 
jumpers (labeled BAL/UNBAL) if required for a particular source.

CH1/2 Output Select:  This switch allows CH1/2’s output to be selected between 1/2 for direct input 
pass-through (default) or 5/6 to copy signal from CH5/6 internally after its summing stage. The latter 
is particularly useful when summing 3-way systems for retaining remote level control over CH5/6 
while also providing a separate summed full-range output from CH1/2.     

RCA Output Jacks:  These six channels of RCA outputs are for signal connection  to your 

s

amplifier(s). For a speaker level source, output from CH3/4 and CH5/6 will depend upon their 

 

respective INPUT CH settings (see pg3), while CH1/2 is set by its output select switch (see 

 above). 

For an AUX source, left/right stereo signals will be routed to all output pairs. Use quality 
interconnects to ensure stable connections and minimize the possibility for induced noise. 

Remote Level Control Jack:  This RJ45 jack is for connecting the multi-function remote to the main 
unit with the supplied cable. A standard ethernet cable may also be used.

Mounting Tabs:  These mounting tabs are for securing the link6 during installation with screws or 
cable ties. They are removable if the unit can be safely secured by another method.
