User manual AKG WLS 8060 MAX

[. . . ] A clear control layout and rugged case make the WLS 8060 "MAX" a user-friendly tool for every sound system application. 1 AC adapter 1 CB 6060 carrying case 2 receiving antennas Please check that the package contains all components of the system you ordered. General The WLS 8060 is a powered loudspeakder with an rms power of 40 W. A built-in mixer with 2-band equalizer lets you connect a CD player or similar audio source, one wired microphone, and the supplied wireless microphone for simultaneous operation. [. . . ] The loudspeaker has been designed for use in a dry environment with air of normal relative humidity and dust concentration. Make sure, though, to provide at least 2 inches of free air space behind the rear panel for adequate ventilation. 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. , cassette player, CD player) to the LINE INPUT jacks (5) using a stereo RCA cable. Use a commercial XLR cable to connect your wired microphone to the INPUT connector (8). 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. Connect the LINE OUT jacks (7) to the LINE IN jacks (5) of the other WLS 8060 using a stereo RCA cable. Plug the two supplied receiving antennas into the two rear panel antenna sockets (15). Point both antennas upward so that the two antennas will form a "V". If you cover the WLS 8060 with the optional RP 6060 rain cover point the antennas straight down. Before first operating the WLS 8060 or if the unit has not been connected to AC power for more than a year, charge the battery for 18 hours. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the supplied AC adapter is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will use your WLS 8060. Using the AC adapter with a different AC voltage may cause irreparable damage to the unit. Charging will start automatically and the yellow Charging LED (2) will light constantly. When the yellow Charging LED (2) starts flashing the battery is fully charged and the WLS 8060 is ready to operate. Since the battery has no memory effect, you will not need to discharge it fully before charging. Therefore, you can start charging at any time irrespective of the battery's residual capacity. important: Lead batteries should not be stored for extended periods of time in entirely or partially discharged condition. In order to make sure the WLS 8060 is always ready to operate, it is best to leave it connected to AC power whenever you do not use it. We therefore provided the electronic circuitry of the WLS 8060 with an intelligent protection circuit that effectively prevents the battery from being totally discharged. The protection circuit automatically isolates the entire WLS 8060 electronics from the battery and switches the loudspeakers off before battery capacity approaches Custom versions with an adapter for other AC voltages are available on request. Check that the AC mains voltage stated on the supplied AC adapter is identical to the AC mains voltage available where you will use your WLS 8060. [. . . ] Thus, no noise will become audible if you mute the microphone even if the SQUELCH control (11) on the WLS 8060 is set to minimum (fully CCW). Receiver SQUELCH Control The squelch circuit switches the receiver off if the received signal is too weak, in order to suppress the related noise or the residual noise of the receiver while the transmitter is off. If unwanted noise becomes audible, turn the SQUELCH control (11) CW just enough to suppress the noise. important: Never set the squelch threshold higher than absolutely necessary. [. . . ]
