APPLICATION: The Link-
800 is a professional active
full range speaker,
designed for effective use in
demanding professional
applications such as the
reproduction and
reinforcement of sound in
venues and applications as
diverse as from recording
studio to music store
playback, from video movie
playback to restaurant
FGM/BGM, discotheques,
airports, places of worship,
retail premises, restaurants
and public houses.
DESCRIPTION:The Link-
800 has one 5.5”” (140mm)
heavy-duty woofer drive
unit and one 1” (25mm) HF
unit. The Link 800 is a
single port acoustically-
efficient enclosure.
DEPLOYMENT: The Link-800 can be mounted in a vertical or
horizontal position. The Link-800 can be installed on the wall or
ceiling using suitable ancillary commercial mounting
equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE - See Warning Section on RIGGING •
SUSPENDING • MOUNTING before attempting to install
Wharfedale Pro Link-800.
VOLUME LEVEL CONTROL: Controls output level of the Link-800
AUTO SENSE ON/OFF SWITCH: Auto on/off sleep feature is
indicated through a front panel mounted LED. When engaged the
Link-800 senses when a signal is not present at the input and
places the unit in a standby
mode and the ‘blue’ indicator
LED on the front baffle board
goes out. Once a signal is
detected at the input the unit
moves into operation mode
and the LED activates. This
saves the power amp from
being constantly engaged
during periods when though
the unit is required to be
operational there will be
periods when no signal is
present.
