4. INTRODUCTION
Ecler WiSpeak is a technology that provides Wireless Professional Audio for fixed
(permanent or temporary) installations, including transmitter devices and receiver
(loudspeakers) devices.
The main highlights of the WiSpeak technology are:
•Simple and fast installation (with or without the use of the WiSpeak grip app)
•Plug & play: no wires, no construction works
•The receivers just need to get mains AC, usually from the already existing lighting
rails. They integrate an internal universal Power Supply (100-240VAC -50-60Hz)
•Solid and stable wireless transmission protocol, robust against audio drops
•Up to 500 m2 coverage (depending on the location of the transmitter and the
receivers, and the obstacles in between them)
•Master volume control and individual loudspeaker volume control, allowing for
audio level zoning
•WiSpeak grip app available for Android and iOS, for the setup and advanced
tuning of the system (Admin profile), as well as for the end user simple control
(User profile)

7
•Scalable: daisy-chain option from one receiver to a new transmitter, or from one
transmitter to a second transmitter, to extend the total amount of loudspeakers
and the area coverage
•Compatible with Eutrac and Global Trac Pro lighting rail standards
A WiSpeak installation is typically made up of one transmitter device and from 1, up to
a maximum of 24 receiver units, where:
•the transmitter device is the electronic unit that communicates with all the
receiver devices to create a WiSpeak wireless network, and takes the role of the
Master unit in it
•the receiver units are self-powered loudspeakers with wireless audio reception
and control capabilities, under the control of the Master unit
The Master unit has these main functions:
•to pair (link) and keep a stable communication with all the receiver units in the
system –when paired and within the valid wireless coverage range - supervising
the connection quality of them all
•to take care of the global configuration of the system (audio inputs in use,
equalisation, levels, etc.)
•to send the individual configuration commands to each receiver unit, as each
receiver can have customised parameters
•to send audio contents to all the receiver units, keeping a perfect synchronisation
among them all (<6ms latency and <1μs jitter)

6. WiSpeak RF TECHNOLOGY
Ecler WiSpeak professional wireless technology system transmit audio via radio
frequency (not WIFI), using U-NII 5.1-5.8 GHz bandwidth.
WiSpeak is a robust and stable system. Each CORE has two antennas:
1. Working channel: first antenna transmits audio to receivers
2. Monitoring channel: the second antenna is scanning free channels in the
background, searching for the best options to jump in case of interference
There are 24 available channels in U-NII 5.1-5.8 GHz but not all channels are available
in all geographic regions due to regulatory controls.
Select the operating region using the WiSpeak grip app.
Warning: An RF system, even a robust one like WiSpeak, is always exposed to potential
performance failures when working in hostile RF environments.

7. INSTALLATION
7.1. TUBE receivers mounting and power up
The TUBE receivers come with the lighting rail bracket already mounted.
Follow these steps to install a TUBE unit in a lighting rail:
1. Ensure that the 4-position (OFF-1-2-3) circuit selector wheel in the TUBE unit is
in the OFF position
2. Insert the loudspeaker in the lighting rail, as shown in the image
Connection to a GLOBAL Trac Pro / Eutrac lighting rail (three-circuit lighting track system)

16
3. Rotate the safety lug to secure the loudspeaker on the lighting rail. Rotate the
circuit selector wheel to a position other than OFF, the one matching with a circuit
in the rail that will deliver mains AC to the unit. Then, the safety lug will be locked
4. Check whether the unit is really powered ON or not by watching the LED
indicators at its back panel: depending on the status of the receiver unit (at factory
defaults, already paired, etc) blinking or fixed lit LEDs will appear.
Both LEDs OFF permanently will mean that the unit is not powered, probably not
getting mains AC from the lighting rail. In this case, please check:
oThe lighting rail is really powered with mains AC
oThe TUBE receiver circuit selector wheel is in the right position. Check the
rest of positions to try to get a valid one, with some LED activity, thus
getting mains AC from the rail tracks
5. Orient the loudspeaker to obtain the required position on the vertical and
horizontal axes
Note: in case you want to install a TUBE receiver on a surface, where there is no available
lighting rail, you may want to use the optional surface mount accessory, ref. TUBE SMA:
In first place, mount and power the accessory with mains AC. Then, follow the previous
steps to insert and fix the TUBE unit in it.

17
7.2. CUBE receivers mounting and power up
The CUBE receivers come with a lighting rail bracket already mounted, but they also
include a wall / surface mount bracket that can replace the lighting bracket in case that
a wall mount is the chosen option.
A CUBE unit could be as well installed directly on a surface, like a desktop, shelf, table,
etc, without using the rail mount or the wall mount included brackets. To do so, the
supplied self-adhesive rubber legs can be attached to the unit’s bottom face, and the
connection to a standard AC plug can be performed using the supplied additional AC
cord.
Follow these steps to install a CUBE unit in a lighting rail:
1. Ensure that the 4-position (OFF-1-2-3) circuit selector wheel in the CUBE unit is
in the OFF position
2. Insert the loudspeaker in the lighting rail, as shown in the image
Connection to a GLOBAL Trac Pro / Eutrac lighting rail (three-circuit lighting track system)

18
3. Rotate the safety lug to secure the loudspeaker on the lighting rail. Rotate the
circuit selector wheel to a position other than OFF, the one matching with a circuit
in the rail that will deliver mains AC to the unit. Then, the safety lug will be locked
4. Power ON the unit by means of the back panel ON/OFF switch. Check whether
the unit is really powered ON or not by watching the LED indicators at its front
grill: depending on the status of the receiver unit (at factory defaults, already
paired, etc) blinking or fixed lit LEDs will appear.
Both LEDs OFF permanently will mean that the unit is not powered, probably not
getting mains AC from the lighting rail. In this case, please check:
oThe lighting rail is really powered with mains AC
oThe CUBE receiver circuit selector wheel is in the right position. Check the
rest of positions to try to get a valid one, with some LED activity, thus
getting mains AC from the rail tracks
oON/OFF switch is in ON position and AC cable is connected
5. Orient the loudspeaker to obtain the required position on the vertical and
horizontal axes

19
Follow these steps to install a CUBE unit on a wall:
1. Drill three 6 mm holes in the wall, matching the position of the holes in the bracket.
2. Insert three 6 mm wall plugs into them.
3. Place the wall bracket in place, previously passing the supplied AC cable (if required)
through the square hole in the bracket. Attach the bracket to the wall.
4. Place the speaker in its final position by sliding it vertically downward so that the
guide on its back side matches the guide on the bracket.
5. Fasten the safety guide at the back of the mount (as shown in the diagram).
6. Orient the loudspeaker to the desired position on the vertical and horizontal axes.
Tighten the Allen screws on the bracket to fix this position on both axes.
7. Power ON the unit by means of the back panel ON/OFF switch.

20
7.3. GLOBE receivers mounting
Follow these steps to install a GLOBE RM unit in a lighting rail:
1. Ensure that the 4-position (OFF-1-2-3) circuit selector wheel in the GLOBE unit
is in the OFF position
2. Insert the loudspeaker in the lighting rail, as shown in the image
Connection to a GLOBAL Trac Pro / Eutrac lighting rail (three-circuit lighting track system)
