AKG Acoustics WLS 8060 MAX - Manual (Page 5)

1. RECHARGE BATTERY
DC input jack for charging the integrated battery or operating
the WLS 8060 on AC power using the supplied AC adapter.
2. Charging LED
This yellow LED will light constantly while the battery is being
charged and will start flashing as soon as the battery is fully
charged.
3. POWER switch
Switches power to the WLS 8060 audio section and ampli-
fier ON and OFF but does not affect the charging circuit.
4. STATUS LED
The STATUS LED will light green to indicate the unit is ON and
the battery adequately charged. It will change to red when
the battery is down.
MUSIC
5. LINE INPUT L/R
These two RCA jacks allow you to connect a CD player, cas-
sette recorder, or other line level source to your WLS 8060
using a stereo RCA cable (not supplied). The stereo input sig-
nal is internally summed to mono.
Input sensitivity is 100 mV into 10 k
Ω for nominal level.
6. VOLUME
This rotary potentiometer sets the loudness volume of the
audio source connected to the LINE INPUT L/R jacks (5).
7. LINE OUT L/R
These two RCA jacks allow you to connect either a recorder
or another WLS 8060 to your unit using a stereo RCA cable
(not supplied).
The two jacks are internally paralleled and carry the output
signal of the built-in mixer with all the volume and EQ settings
you made. The output voltage at nominal level is 0.5 V into
200
Ω source impedance.
WIRED MIC
8. INPUT
This balanced female XLR connector allows you to connect a
wired microphone (optional) via a standard microphone
cable with a male XLR connector (optional). Since the micro-
phone INPUT provides 12 V phantom power you can
connect both dynamic and electret or condenser micro-
phones.
Input sensitivy for nominal level is 2 mV into 1 k
Ω .
Pin 1 is ground, pin 2 ”hot” (inphase), pin 3 return.
9. VOLUME
This rotary potentiometer sets the loudness volume of the
microphone connected to the INPUT connector (8).
WIRELESS RECEIVER
10. CHANNEL
This recessed rotary switch selects the carrier frequency of the
built-in receiver for the supplied handheld or bodypack trans-
mitter.
11. SQUELCH
This recessed rotary control sets the threshold of the squelch
circuit integrated in the receiver for suppressing unwanted
noise. (For details refer to section 6.1.5. Receiver.)
WIRELESS MIC
12. VOLUME
This rotary potentiometer sets the loudness volume of the wire-
less microphone.
EQ
The effective two-band equalizer is located in the signal path
immediately ahead of the power amplifier and therefore acts on
both the two microphone inputs and the LINE input.
13. BASS
Rotary control for cutting or boosting the low frequencies.
14. TREBLE
Rotary control for cutting or boosting the high frequencies.
Antenna Sockets (15)
Two BNC sockets for connecting the supplied receiving
antennas.
5. Setting Up
5.1. Operating Environment
1. Acceptable ambient temperature during operation ranges
from -5°C to +40°C.
2. Acceptable temperature during storage or shipping ranges
from -15°C to +40°C.
3. If condensation has formed on the equipment or the rear
panel during shipping or storage, allow the unit to acclimate
for 2 hours before powering up.
4. The loudspeaker has been designed for use in a dry environ-
ment with air of normal relative humidity and dust concentra-
tion. Never expose the unit to aggressive chemical liquids or
vapors.
5. You can position the unit at any angle. Make sure, though, to
provide at least 2 inches of free air space behind the rear
panel for adequate ventilation.
6. Do not expose the WLS 8060 to temperatures below -15°C
as this would cause the acid contained in the battery to freeze
and damage the battery.
5.2. Audio Connections
1. Set all VOLUME controls (6), (9), and (12) to zero.
2. Connect the desired audio source (e.g., cassette player, CD
player) to the LINE INPUT jacks (5) using a stereo RCA cable.
3. Use a commercial XLR cable to connect your wired micro-
phone to the INPUT connector (8).
4. If you want to record your performance or presentation,
connect a (cassette, DAT, tape, or other) recorder to the
LINE OUT jacks (7) using a stereo RCA cable.
5. For consistent audience coverage, you can use another
WLS 8060. Connect the LINE OUT jacks (7) to the LINE IN
jacks (5) of the other WLS 8060 using a stereo RCA cable.
5.3. Receiving Antennas
1. Plug the two supplied receiving antennas into the two rear
panel antenna sockets (15).
