Introduction
Model WTSD-MIX41K is a 4x1 mic / line analog mixer that features 4-balanced
microphone / line inputs and a balanced line output. Selection between mic or line level is
done via DIP switch on the rear panel. The high gain mic inputs incorporate user enabled
phantom power for condenser microphones and a 120Hz low cut filter to eliminate
unwanted low frequency interferences. A local mute button mutes output to the bus
and a system priority button can mute building wide BGM systems to isolate the room.
Separate level controls for each input provide control for the audio mix needed. Input peak
and signal indicators give visual reference needed to set the gain structure for maximum
performance. Mic / line inputs are via a Phoenix type connector on the rear of the WTSD.
The WTSD-MIX41K is designed to be used in conjunction with the AtlasIED WTSD-XLR4
input plate or with other XLR wall plates.
A basic WTSD system consists of four elements, a WTSD-Mixer, Cat5/6 cable, in-line
24V DC Power Supply and an end point break out board / hub. All four are included with
the purchase of a WTSD mixer except for the Cat5/6 cable. A two-gang box is all that
is needed to complete an installation. There are two versions of the WTSD end points
offered. The WTSD-PWBOB comes with each unit and features a balanced audio output
with signal, mute, system priority and power LEDs and 12V DC logic output for remote
system muting or power sequencing. The WTSD-PWHUB is sold separately and features
level control at the system head end, input limiting, isolated relay outputs to trigger
system priority muting or system power activation, and an emergency mute port. The
WTSD features an energy saving auto sleep function that can shut Off the audio system
when not in use after approximately one hour. As soon as the WTSD mixer senses an
audio signal, the WTSD sends a command down the bus to wake the system up.
The optional WTSD-COVER stainless steel weather resistant locking security cover with
gaskets is available for tamper proof indoor or outdoor applications. The PCBs are weather
treated to reduce corrosion in damp environments. With the PCB treatment and the
WTSD-COVER accessory, the installation will have protection against the environment and
tamper protection for years of continuous operation.

WTSD-PWBOB Features
The power break out box (PWBOB) is a DC power injector / trigger control / audio interface
module. Each WTSD kit comes with a WTSD-PWBOB. This module can be placed in an
equipment rack and connected to a WTSD via Cat5/6 cable. The PWBOB serves as the DC
power injector to power WTSDs. The PWBOB is also the audio interface between a power
amplifier, DSP or mixer. The indicators on the PWBOB are a useful visual guide to see the
status of a WTSD that may be located several hundred feet away from the PWBOB in the
equipment rack.
1. Power Supply Input
Connect 24V DC Input. Note: Pay attention to supply + & – polarity. The 24VDC 1A power
supply that comes with the kit will have the 2-position connector installed on the wires.
2. PWR Indicator
This power indicator will illuminate green when 24V DC power is present at the Power
Supply input.
3. RJ45 to WTSD Interface
Connect a Cat5/6 cable to a WTSD RJ45 input marked “TO WTSD – PWBOB, PWHUB”
4. Balanced Audio Output
This 3-position port provides a balanced audio output to connect to an audio mixer or
amplifier input. Follow the wiring information for system interface. For unbalanced signals
connect the (GND) and the (–) terminals together. A removable 3-position 3.5mm pitch
Euro / Phoenix connector is supplied.
5. SYS Peak Logic Port
This logic port will provide a minimum of +1VDC when any of the WTSD audio input
signals are too high and the system peak LED is illuminated. Connect this port to an
external VCA limiter for additional system protection.

6. Sleep Mode Logic Port
When the WTSD does not sense audio after 60 minutes, the WTSD panel and
WTSD-PWBOB sleep LED illuminate and this port logic voltage goes from 0V to +22VDC
(use power supply -24VDC (GND). This can be used to power On / Off an amplifier that
is equipped with remote turn such as AtlasIED HPA amplifiers or to trigger an AC Mains
power strip / sequencer On / Off like the AtlasIED AP-S20RT, AP-ECS3 or AP-ECS204. The
+22VDC low current logic voltage allows the sleep mode feature to interface with a wider
range of products that have remote turn on capability. This output current is limited to
2mA, protecting any equipment remote turn on interface. If the logic voltage is too high,
AtlasIED recommends using the WTSD-PWHUB. Note: Most products list a minimum
threshold voltage and current required to turn the product On / Off.
7. Priority Logic Port
When a WTSD system priority switch is pressed On, the system priority circuit is
activated and sends a command to the system priority logic port on the PWBOB. A 12V
DC logic will be present to trigger an external product action item such as muting an audio
background system or to turn an amplifier or AC mains power strip On / Off.
8. Sleep Mode Indicator
Illuminates green when no audio signal is sensed at the WTSD after 1 hour. Note: Refer to
the sleep mode feature section for feature details.
9. Priority Indicator
When a WTSD system priority switch is pressed On, the system priority circuit is activated
and sends a command to the WTSD-PWBOB to the LED to illuminate green.
10. SYS Peak Indicator
This indicator illuminates red when WTSD audio input signals are too high triggering the
system peak LED.
11. Signal Indicator
This indicator illuminates green when a WTSD input has audio present.
12. Mounting Hole
This mounting hole accepts a 1/4" bolt to mount to an equipment rack DIN rail.

Things to Consider Before Installation
1. Select the correct mounting method. It is critical to fit the WTSD and the wires in
the box without causing damage to the WTSD. Refer to the section “Choosing a WTSD
Wall Mounting Method” for details on selecting the correct mounting method for the
application.
2. Check for local electrical codes for low voltage installation requirements.
3. Do not use shielded Cat5/6 cable. The RJ45 connectors on the WTSD do not have a
ground connection for the shield, so it is not necessary. The STP Cat6 can also be less
flexible when installing in a back-box.
4. If using a WTSD outdoors, make sure the optional WTSD-COVER is used and do not
expose directly to rain or snow. At minimum, place under an eve.
Things to Be Careful of During Installation
1. If using a shallow electrical back-box do not stuff the cables if there is no room. This
can damage the WTSD.
2. When running the Cat5/6 cable use standard IT wiring practices. If not, noise
interference can happen.
3. Avoid AC mains power. Never run the WTSD BUS cable parallel next to AC 120V – 240V
electrical runs and stay clear of AC outlets, or unwanted noise pick up can occur.
4. Using low grade / cost RJ45 connectors can cause an intermittent connection and
popping in the audio system may occur.

Choosing a WTSD Wall Mounting Method
When selecting the correct installation method of a WTSD it is important to know the
state / city electrical codes. The WTSD should not be required to be mounted a in a UL
certified electrical box. This is because the WTSD family meet lows voltage electrical
codes. AtlasIED suggests following IT wiring practices. Check for local electrical codes
and requirements before starting installation. Note: It is not advisable to bundle IT-Data
infrastructure wiring runs with the WTSD-BUS long runs.
All WTSDs are designed to mount using standard 2-gang (NEMA) size hole spacing and
fasteners. Fasteners are included with the WTSDs along with a WTSD-PWBOB and a
24VDC-PSU. If only one WTSD-MIX31K or WTSD-MIX41K is used in a system, then only
one Cat5 or 6-RJ45 to RJ45 (T568 non-crossover cable), will be needed to connect the
WTSD to the WTSD-PWBOB at the head-end. If other WTSDs are needed in the same
system, then a loop thru or 2 x Cat5 or 6 (one IN and one OUT) will be the max amount of
wiring inside of a back-box.
The overall depth of the WTSDs are approximately 2.5". The RJ45 connectors plug in
vertically on the rear inside of the 2.5" depth (see diagram below). It is always a good
practice to include a service loop length of cable to allow removing the wall plate without
pulling cable and possibly damaging the WTSD. The diagram shows that 3" depth is the
minimum space required to allow for the cable to be looped.
WTSD mounting options are:
1. Electrical 2-gang box
2. Wall mount 2-gang retro fit ring
3. Direct surface mount (this requires a 3.25" W x 2.70" H hole)

Electrical 2-Gang Box Mounting
When planning to install the WTSD-MIX41K back-box types and depth clearances need to
be considered. This document in no way includes all options available that will work for the
WTSDs. It is simply a guide to help save time when determining and planning materials
for a project.
1. 2-Gang Low Voltage Retro-Fit Back-Box
Where a retro-fit full back-box is required, most deep (3" min or 34 in3) low voltage retro-fit
2-gang back-boxes will work. Figure 1 is a Carlon 2-gang low voltage retro-fit 3-5/8" deep
box. Figure 2 is a Legrand Pass & Seymour 2-gang low voltage retro-fit 32 in3, 3" deep
back-box.
2. 2-Gang Low Voltage New Construction Box
Where Class 2 low voltage wiring is acceptable but new construction prewiring is
required, most deep (3" or 34 in3) low voltage new-work 2-gang back-boxes will work.
Figure 3 is an Arlington FA102GC 2-gang adjustable 43.5 in3, which provides the most
space for wiring found by AtlasIED. Figure 4 is a Carlon B234ADJ, 2-gang, 3" depth
adjustable back-box. It has a little less space than the Arlington. Note: This back-box is
easier to use after breaking out the Romax clamp tabs.

Installing the 24VDC Power Supply
Powering the WTSD BUS requires use of the included external power supply. A UL
Certified external 24VDC 1A power supply is supplied to power the WTSD-MIX41K. It is
suggested to place the WTSD within 10ft of a 120V AC outlet. If this is not possible, the
power supply wire for the 24VDC output can be extended up to 50ft. Note: This does not
void the warranty as it is the low voltage wire that is being extended. Pay attention to the
DCV polarity when reconnecting the removable Phoenix connector. Only use the included
approved power supply or failure may occur. Must be installed by a qualified technician.
Local electrical codes will apply.
Installing the WTSD Indoors
It is recommended before installing the WTSD to review the local codes for placement
of the device. Installing a WTSD does not require using the WTSD-COVER but it is
recommended to use the WTSD-COVER for security reasons. Refer to the WTSD-COVER
section for more details. For most indoor applications, a low voltage electrical ring is all
that is required to mount the WTSD. Using an electrical ring with a WTSD allows for an
easy spacious installation.
Installing the WTSD Outdoors
If using a WTSD outdoors, it is recommended to use the optional stainless-steel locking
WTSD-COVER. The WTSD needs to be mounted in a location that is under a building
overhang or a under weather deflection shield. Note: Do not place directly in rain or snow.
Using a quality outdoor electrical box is critical to obtaining a weather sealed fit.

Using the Optional Weather Resistant WTSD-COVER
The WTSD-COVER optional stainless-steel locking cover can be used in indoor or outdoor
applications. It works with most 2-gang electrical outlet boxes. It comes with factory
mounted gaskets to seal the cover to the WTSD and electrical box. Note: If using
outdoors it is recommended to locate the WTSD and WTSD-COVER under a building
overhang. Do not place directly in rain or snow.
The WTSD-COVER is supplied with stainless-steel screws and a locking set of keys (2).
The gaskets are factory mounted; one on the ring to seal against the WTSD wall-plate, and
one on the inside of the door to seal the door when it is closed.

Using the WTSD-MIX41K with Input Source Wall Plates
The WTSD-MIX41K can support four input sources. The WTSD-MIX41K features a
balanced input and does not require the balanced input wall plate or source to be close
to the WTSD-MIX41K. A balanced signal can be run several feet away from the mixer. For
unbalanced connections or sources, it is good practice to keep unbalanced signals close to
the mixer to prevent noise pick up in the cable. Note: It important to use small gauge wire
sleeving to interface with the WTSD-MIX41K and the mounting box. It is suggested to
use flexible 22-gauge shielded wire that is no more than 3mm diameter with the sleeve. If
using a mounting ring, wire diameter is not as important.
