West Mountain Radio
Operating Manual
Connections
Audio Input Jack:
Audio input is via the 1/8-inch stereo jack. Use the supplied 6ft.
stereo cable to plug into the headphone output or the mono speaker
output on the radio.
**NOTE for Stereo Cables:
The CLRspkr is only one channel. The
stereo jack cable uses only the tip and ground. If using a mono
plug into a stereo jack, one channel gets shorted to ground and may
damage the source. To prevent problems, a stereo cable is supplied.
A stereo jack will use only one channel, but still works with a mono
plug.
Headphone Jack:
The front panel headphone jack works with stereo headphones
only. Both left and right channels receive the same signal
for equal reception in both ears. The high level audio works
fine with modern 8 to 600 ohm headphones. The internal
speaker will still output audio, but can be reduced to silence
with the volume control. The volume control will not adjust the
headphone output.
Power:
The CLRspkr comes with a 6ft. power cable. One end is a 2.1
mm power plug (tip hot) and the other is a pair of Powerole
connectors.
RED is for PLUS 13.8 VDC and BLACK is for
Ground
.
If using other connectors, just remove the Powerpoles and
connect the
white striped wire to PLUS 13.8 VDC
and the
other wire to ground.
The CLRspkr is protected from a reverse polarity power
connection.
