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.
ΠPower 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 switched +12V trigger is available and connected to the REM IN terminal.
ŽPower 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.

ŒAUX Gain Adjustment: This adjustment sets
the gain for all output channels from a low
level source connected to the AUX input jack.
In systems using both the link6's main speaker
level inputs and auxiliary input, this gain
adjustment is primarily for matching the AUX
output level with that of the main source. It is
recommended to set the speaker level input
gain(s) first, particularly when summing.
CH1/2, CH3/4, and CH5/6 Gain Adjustments:
These gain adjustments are for matching each
output channel pair’s signal level with the source’s maximum unclipped signal range and the
maximum input capability of connected amplifier(s). When summing channels together, these gain
adjustments should be used for matching relative output levels so that the combined signals sum as
close to flat as possible. If a gain difference between channel pairs is desired with direct signal input,
adjustments made at the link6 should also minimize amplifier gain settings for best S/N. Note that the
gain adjustment will be bypassed if its input select is set to copy the previous channel pair.
ŽClipping Indicators: These yellow LEDs indicate when the output signal from each channel pair is at
maximum level before clipping (distortion) occurs, whether the source is main speaker level or AUX
input. Each will be dimly lit just before the onset of clipping and full bright at clipping. Since the link6
can produce up to 10Vrms output before clipping, it is likely that gain(s) will need to be reduced below
the illumination point(s) to match your amplifier(s) maximum input capability or optimize source
volume range. Note that the AUX input is controlled by its own unified gain that affects all output
channel pairs equally and will illuminate all LEDs simulaneously when clipping.
CH3/4 and CH5/6 Input Select: These 3-position switches are for selecting which signal is routed
internally to each channel pair’s output stage. It provides for 2-channel, 4-channel or 6-channel input,
as well as various independent and summed input configurations:
Copy: In the left switch position, this input setting will copy the internal signal from after the
previous channel pair’s gain stage and route to its outputs. This bypasses the gain adjustment so
its outputs are controlled by the previous channel pair’s gain. If independent gain is desired, use
jumper wires at the speaker input terminals and select direct input instead.
‘Direct: In the middle switch position, this input setting will route the channel pair’s input signal
directly to its gain and output stages.
’Sum: In the right switch position, this input setting will sum the indicated channel signals from
after their respective gain stages and route the combined signals to its left and right RCA outputs.
For example, if CH3/4’s input select is set to CH1+3/2+4, CH1+3 will be sent to the CH3(L) output,
and CH2+4 will be sent to the CH4(R) output. For vehicles without an available full-range signal,
this function can be used to sum pre-filtered signals together to create a useable frequency range
output from up to a 3-way factory system. Note that CH1/2’s output is selectable, getting its signal
either directly from CH1/2’s input or copied from CH5/6 (after its summing stage). Also note that if
rear channels are input to CH3/4 and front channels are input to CH5/6 (or vise versa), selecting
CH3+5/CH4+6 can be used to ensure CH5/6’s output will always retain at least 50% or more signal
(Never-Zero) for a subwoofer, regardless of fader changes made at the source.

Multi-Function Remote
ΠRemote Housing: This 2-piece housing design provides both convenient mounting and simple
dissasembly for customization. The integrated screw mount tabs are scored to aid removal if securing
by another method and the lower housing can be detatched by removing the two top screws for
reducing weight or size. For panel mounting, the housing can be completely disassembled by also
removing the knob, shaft nut, and circuit board screw. It is recommended to protect the exposed PCB
with heat shrink. For LED relocation, carefully release the LED from the back side of the snap ring,
then push the snap ring though to the front to remove. Follow the reverse process for re-mounting.
Rotary Encoder: This control knob is for adjusting CH1/2/3/4/5/6 master volume, CH5/6 level and
source selection (toggle). The factory setting for knob function is CH5/6 output level adjustment only
for a speaker level source. Other knob functions can be enabled via the dip-switches at the back of the
remote (see  below). To toggle between Main and AUX sources, short-press the knob. To activate
the selected source’s CH5/6 level mode, long-press for 2 seconds. To reset to factory defaults for the
selected system type, long-press the knob for >5 seconds.
ŽSource/Function LED: Depending upon which system type is selected (see  below), this LED will
indicate which source and level mode is currently selected. There are four LED modes: solid red,
flashing red, solid blue and flashing blue. In the default system Type-1, the only LED indication is solid
red when the link6 is powered on. For the other three system types, solid red indicates Main speaker
level source is selected and solid blue is for AUX source. Flashing indicates CH5/6 level mode is active
for the current source, which will timeout after 5 seconds if no adjustments are made.
System Type Select: These dip-switches are for selecting one of four available system types for
setting which knob functions and priority are enabled. Note that the up/down position for each switch
is when looking at the back of the remote as shown above. Switch settings can be changed at any time
on the remote without requiring access to the main link8 unit.


Type-2: Main CH5/6 Level, AUX Volume & AUX CH5/6 Level
For systems using the factory radio as the master volume for Main speaker level input and an
auxiliary source is connected to the link6’s AUX input. When Main source is selected, the knob
adjusts CH5/6 level only. When AUX source is selected, knob priority is AUX volume and its
CH5/6 level mode can be selected with a 2sec long-press.
Type-3: AUX Volume & AUX CH5/6 Level
For stand-alone applications without a factory radio where only the link6’s AUX input is used as
the system source. In this setting, AUX CH5/6 level mode can be accessed with a 2sec long-press,
while short-press for source select is disabled so cannot be accidentally changed.
Type-4: Master Volume & CH5/6 Level
This setting is primarily for systems where factory radio volume is not used (e.g. fixed input
signal level, volume dependent EQ, etc.), and that may also have an AUX source connected to
the link6. In system Type-4, all knob functions are enabled. When either Main or AUX input is
selected, knob priority is master volume for that source. Independent CH5/6 level adjustment
is also accessable for each source with a 2sec long-press.
 Remote Level Control Jack: This RJ45 jack is for connecting the remote to the RLC port on the main
link6 unit with the supplied cable. A standard 8-conductor ethernet cable may also be used.
Note: The link6 will remember all level settings and which source was selected at last power off and
return at next power on, even if the battery is disconnected. However, if the remote is disconnected at
power on, the memory will be overridden to factory defaults and all levels will return to maximum 0dB.
4
Type-1: Main CH5/6 Level Only (factory setting)
For systems where only subwoofer level control is needed with a speaker level source, and no
AUX source is connected to the link6. In this setting, the knob’s short-press and long-press
functions (except reset) are disabled to prevent accidental selection.

Installation & System Wiring
It is important to read this manual thoroughly before starting your installation and always plan
accordingly. Before installing any Wāvtech product, disconnect the negative (ground) wire from the
vehicle’s battery to avoid damage to the vehicle or yourself. Following all guidelines will help provide
years of enjoyment with your Wāvtech link6 audio interface.
Ground Connection (GND): The GND terminal must be connected to a metal part of the vehicle that is
welded to the vehicle body with ground plane back to the main battery ground attachment point (a.k.a.
chassis ground). This wire should be a minimum of 18AWG and as short as possible to minimize potential
for noise to enter the system. The chassis ground connection point should have all of the paint removed
and be scuffed to the bare metal. The ground wire should be terminated by a ground specific interlocking
terminal such as the included EARL terminal or a ring terminal securely bolted to the vehicle with star or
lock washer and nut to prevent from coming loose. Avoid using factory ground points to reduce the
chance of induced noise from other components.
Power Connection (+12V): The constant power connection should be made at the vehicle battery when
possible. For direct battery connection, a 1-amp fuse must be installed in-line with the power wire within
18”of the battery and securely connected to the positive battery terminal bolt with a ring terminal. If
connecting to another available constant +12V power source, a 1-amp in-line fuse must be added at the
connection point. The power wire should be a minimum of 18AWG. Do not install the fuse until all other
system connections have been made.
Speaker Level Inputs (SPK): Connect the speaker wires from the source unit to corresponding input
terminals at the interface. Always ensure correct polarity of each channel when making these
connections, as failure to do so can severely effect sound performance.
Remote Input (REM IN): If a switched +12V or remote trigger wire is available, it is recommended to
connect it to the REM IN terminal. If unavailable, the link6 also has an auto turn-on circuit that
simultaneously detects audio signal from SPK and AUX inputs as well as DC-offset from SPK inputs. While
auto turn-on will work well in most applications, a +12V trigger may be required for satisfactory results
under certain vehicle or system conditions. Additionally, DC-offset and/or audio signal detect functions
can be independently defeated via the external jumpers if necessary.
Remote Output (REM OUT): Use the remote output to provide a +12V trigger to turn on amplifiers or
other components. This +12V output is generated internally by the interface when turned on either by
REM IN or automatic sensing, and will provide over 500mA continuous current for external devices.
Auxiliary Input (AUX): Connect the auxiliary low level source to the 3.5mm AUX input jack with a quality
3-conductor stereo 3.5mm audio cable. If the source has RCA outputs, an adapter will be required. Ensure
the audio cable is routed away from power wires to minimize potential for induced noise.
Remote Level Control (RLC): Connect the multi-function remote to the link6’s RLC port with the supplied
16.4ft/5m cable. Plan cable routing before mounting the remote to ensure proper length. If additional
length is required, a standard 8-conductor CAT5 or CAT6 ethernet cable or extension may be used. The
cable may also be shortened and re-terminated with a RJ45 connector and ethernet crimping tool.

System Examples

Note: For systems where only remote sub level control is needed for a speaker level source, select system Type-1
(factory setting) at the multi-function remote. For a 4-channel source such as shown above, there are multiple input
configurations that can be chosen with the link6. This particular 5-channel aftermarket system could benefit from
retaining front/rear fading as well as a Never-Zero subwoofer output with independent gain. To achieve this, the front
speaker level signals from CH1/2 are also connected to CH5/6’s input via jumper wires, which allows CH5/6’s input select
to be set to sum CH3+5/CH4+6 front and rear channels together for output to the subwoofer.

Example-2: Factory Amp + AUX (6-in/4-out or 6-in/6-out)
Notes:
ŸFor systems with a main speaker level source that will serve as the master volume control, and an auxiliary source is
connected to the link6’s AUX input jack, select system Type-2 at the multi-function remote. This provides AUX volume
control as well as independent CH5/6 level adjustment for both main and AUX sources.
ŸAs a typical factory amplified system example, a front 2-way signal needs to be summed to full-range for an
aftermarket component set with passive crossovers. However, there are several options for what to do for the rear and
subwoofer channels, depending upon frequency content and whether preserving front/rear fading is important:
¡In this example the factory front door signal content is fine for components but its bass rolls off too high for a sub,
whereas the rear channel has enough bass content. Therefore CH5/6’s input select switch can be set to direct or
sum, depending on whether CH5/6’s signal is only used for bass or also routed to CH1/2 outputs as rear full-range.
¡To preserve fader and prevent remote sub level adjustments from affecting rear speaker output, set CH5/6 input
select to direct, then select “5/6” at the CH1/2 output select switch to copy CH5/6’s internal signal and route to the
to CH1/2 RCA outputs for connection to the amp as full-range rear channels.
6
Note: For stand-alone systems where only the AUX input is used, select system Type-3 at the multi-function remote.
This disables the remote’s source select function and sets knob priority to master volume control for AUX input.
Portable devices such as smartphones or MP3 players typically have an output voltage of 1Vrms or less, so it is
recommended to maximize the device’s unclipped output level and use the remote for the system’s master volume.

Example-4: Factory Amp w/DSP + AUX (6-in/6-out)
Notes:
ŸFor factory amplified systems with more extreme volume dependent DSP effects such as EQ or limiters, or for a stand-
alone system where the source volume will not be accessable after installation, select system Type-4 at the multi-
function remote. This enables all remote functions and sets knob priority to master volume control for both Main and
AUX inputs. Independent CH5/6 level mode is also selectable for each source. Once the system is tuned for a specific
source volume where the factory signal is optimized (make note of the volume setting), do not use the factory radio’s
volume again, but instead use the multi-function remote as the system’s sole master volume control.
ŸIn this example, all factory amplifier signal outputs are useable without summing, as the front and rear high-pass
crossover points are low enough for aftermarket speakers and it has a dedicated subwoofer channel. Note that when
using the link6’s AUX input for an auxiliary source in addition to the Main input, all speakers must be powered by
amplifier(s) connected to link6’s RCA outputs and not powered directly by the original factory system.
Note: The link6 can sum up to 3-way factory systems to full-range while also retaining independent remote level control
over CH1/2 and CH5/6 outputs. If using the remote, choose the appropriate system type (see pg4) and set CH1/2’s
output select switch to 5/6 for a separate full-range output for main speakers and use CH5/6’s output for subwoofer(s).

Internal Jumper Locations and Settings
While all Wāvtech models provide external controls for main adjustments, there are also a few internal
configuration jumpers available to resolve certain special vehicle or system conditions. The link6’s
internal jumper locations and default settings are shown in the illustration below. To access these
jumpers, simply remove the two top screws from each end panel and loosen two bottom screws on one
side in order to easily remove the chassis top cover. It is recommended to detach the power supply
connector first to ensure that the unit is completely powered off while making any jumper changes.
Notes:
ŸInput sensitivity range jumpers (20V/40V) are independent for each SPK input channel, so may be set
differently between channels as system conditions require.
ŸLoad bypass jumpers (LOAD) are independent for each SPK input channel and must be removed or
moved to a single pin in order to disconnect the internal loading from that channel.
ŸAUX input balanced-unbalanced jumper (BAL/UNBAL) affects both left and right channels.
