1. 5 Setting Up 5 1 Operating Environment 1 Acceptable ambient temperature during operation ranges from 5 C to 40 C 2 Acceptable temperature during storage or shipping ranges from 15 C to 40 C 3 If condensation has formed on the equipment or the rear panel during shipping or storage allow the unit to acclimate for 2 hours before powering up A The loudspeaker has been designed for use in a dry environ ment with air of normal relative humidity and dust concentra tion Never expose the unit to aggressive chemical liquids or vapors 5 You can position the unit at any angle Make sure though to provide at least 2 inches of free air space behind the rear panel for adequate ventilation 6 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 5 2 Audio Connections l Set all VOLUME controls 6 9 and 12 to zero 2 Connect the desired audio source e g cassette player CD player to the LINE INPUT jacks 5 using a stereo RCA cable Use a commercial XLR cable to connect your wired micro phone to the INPUT connector 8 4 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 5 For consistent audience coverage you can use another WIS 8060 Connect the LINE OUT jacks 7 to the LINE IN jacks 5 of the othe2. A This device contains no user serviceable parts To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not open the device and refer servicing to qualified personnel 5 Make sure to dispose of used batteries conforming to local waste disposal rules Never throw batteries into the fire risk of explosion 2 2 Potential Risks If the equipment e is visibly damaged e contains loose parts e den not operate correctly e has been stored under adverse conditions e g outdoors or in a damp room for extended periods of time or e was exposed to high transportation stress heg due to in adequate packaging operating the equipment may be unsafe Switch power to the equipment off and mark the equipment Make sure the equipment cannot be connected to power or switched on unintentionally by third persons 3 Unpacking Your WLS 8060 MAX comprises the following components 1 WLS 8060 powered loudspeaker 1 HT 80 handheld transmitter with D 880 WLI microphone element or PT 80 bodypack trans mitter without microphone 1 AC adapter 1 CB 6060 carrying case 2 receiving antennas Please check that the package contains all components of the system you ordered If anything is missing please contact your AKG dealer immediately 4 Description 4 1 General The WLS 8060 is a powered loudspeakder with an rms power o 40 W A builtin mixer with 2 band equalizer lets you connect a CD player or similar audio source one wire
3. 5 V into 200 Q source impedance WIRED MIC 8 INPUT This balanced female XLR connector allows you to connect a wired microphone optional via a standard microphone cable with a male XLR connector optional Since the micro phone INPUT provides 12 V phantom power you can connect both dynamic and electret or condenser micro phones Input sensitivy for nominal level is 2 mV into 1 kQ Pin 1 is ground pin 2 hot inphase pin 3 return 9 VOLUME This rotary potentiometer sets the loudness volume of the microphone connected to the INPUT connector 8 WIRELESS RECEIVER 10 CHANNEL This recessed rotary switch selects the carrier frequency of the builtin receiver for the supplied handheld or bodypack trans mitter 11 SQUELCH This recessed rotary control sets the threshold of the squelch circuit integrated in the receiver for suppressing unwanted noise For details refer to section 6 1 5 Receiver WIRELESS MIC 12 VOLUME This rotary potentiometer sets the loudness volume of the wire less microphone EQ The effective two band equalizer is located in the signal path immediately ahead of the power amplifier and therefore acts on both the two microphone inputs and the LINE input 13 BASS Rotary control for cutting or boosting the low frequencies 14 TREBLE Rotary control for cutting or boosting the high frequencies Antenna Sockets 15 Two BNC sockets for connecting the supplied receiving antennas
4. the MIC switch to O Power and carrier frequency remain ON however 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 CCV 6 1 5 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 l Set the SQUELCH control 11 to minimum before first switch ing the WLS 8060 on see fig 1 2 I unwanted noise becomes audible turn the SQUELCH con rol 1 1 CW just enough to suppress the noise Important Never set the squelch threshold higher than abso utely necessary The higher the squelch threshold the lower he sensitivity of the receiver and thus the usable range be een transmitter and receiver VOLUME Control Use the VOLUME control 12 to set the desired loudness volume for the wireless microphone Important In battery operation whenever you do not use the wireless microphone set the VOLUME control 12 to zero and the CHANNEL selector 10 to OFF in order not to discharge the battery prematurely 6 1 6 Replacing Handheld Transmitter Microphone Elements You can replace the D 880 WL1 microphone element mounted on the HT 80 handheld transmitter with any WMS 80 Series micro phone element D 3700 WL1 D 3800 WL1 C 5900 WLI C 535 WI 1 Unscrew the microphon
5. ATUS LED 4 next to the POWER switch 3 will illumi nate green If the STATUS LED 4 lights red the battery is down The elec tronic circuitry and the loudspeakers will switch off auto matically Recharge the battery as per steps 1 through 4 Note Depending on the load battery operating time will be 10 to 14 hours 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 We therefore recommend to recharge the battery immediately after use In order to make sure the WIS 8060 is always ready to operate it is best to leave it connected to AC power when ever you do not use it 5 4 1 Total Discharge Protection Circuit Discharging a battery totally may cause extensive damage 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 VVLS 8060 electronics from the battery and switches the loudspeakers off before battery capacity approaches 14 the total discharge threshold If this happens recharge the battery immediately 5 5 Powering Up AC Operation The WLS 8060 has been desig
