Wet Sounds WS-220 BT

Features

4-Zone Bluetooth Controller: The Wet Sounds WS-220 BT is a 4 Zone level controller with built-in Bluetooth. The WS-220 BT allows independent control of four separate audio zones and a simple master volume control. All four zones are equal and can be set up to control your favorite Wet Sounds amplifiers to fed zones such as our tower speakers, cabin speakers, and subwoofers. The WS-220 BT is designed to give a user ultimate control at their fingertips over any audio system.

Note: The Wet Sounds WS-220 BT is designed to play the same source in each zone with independent volume control in each zone and an overriding master volume control for all zones.

Conformal Coated PCB: The Wet Sounds WS-220 BT is specifically engineered with conformal coated PCB to withstand the rigorous marine environment.

3 Source Inputs: You can choose to listen to music from a main source unit or an auxiliary input and for maximum versatility, the WS-220 BT also includes Bluetooth compatibility for wireless steaming convenience from your smartphone, tablet, or any other Bluetooth enabled device. All three sources have independent gain adjustments for the perfect matched output on any source.

• Main Input: The Wet Sounds WS-220 BT's Main input consists of stereo RCA jacks to connect your marine head unit.
• Aux Input: The unit's Aux input consists of a 3.5mm stereo minijack to connect a portable or marine audio device.
• Built-In Bluetooth w/ aptX: The WS-220BT features built-in Bluetooth 4.0 with support for wireless music streaming (A2DP) from Bluetooth-enabled source devices. You'll be able to wireless stream your stored music library and music apps from your Bluetooth source device to the WS-220BT controller. In addition to Bluetooth's standard SBC codec, the WS-220BT supports aptX for lossless "CD-quality" wireless sound from compatible aptX devices (like Android OS 4.0+). You will still continue to use your Bluetooth source device for playback control and to view song/artist info.

Talk Back Microphone: The WS-220 BT includes a talk back microphone with its own independent level control, allowing the adjustment of the microphone level independently of the music. The talk back microphone can be used to broadcast a voice over long distances - similar to a public address system. When the talk button on the microphone is pressed, music is automatically muted on Zone 1 and the microphone audio is broadcast over Zone 1. When the microphone talk button is released, music returns to the previous level.

Controls: Levels can be set for each of four zones independently, then the Master allows overall control of all 4 zones. You can also set Input Gain and the Mic Level.

• Source: Allows switching between Main (head unit), Auxiliary (wired audio device), or Bluetooth enabled wireless device.
• Master Level: This controls the overall volume of the system - overriding all zones with the exception of the Mic level control.
• Zone 1: This controls the level of whatever amplifier is connected to it. Microphone audio is broadcast on this zone only, so it is suggested that this zone be used for Tower Speakers. The Master Level control overrides this zone control.
• Zones 2-4. These control whatever amplifiers are connected to them. These zones are equal in operation, so they can be assigned in any way needed. The Master Level overrides all these zones.
• Mic: This controls the level of the microphone when the talkback button is pressed. Mic level is unaffected by the Master level control.
• Input Gain: Main, Aux, and Bluetooth input sensitivity adjustments. These are to properly match the inputs of the WS-220 BT to the outputs of the sources connected. You will need to remove the top of the chassis to access these Input Gain controls. If you are not an experienced installer, it is recommended to leave these adjustments in the preset factory position.

Boat Link. The WS-220 BT also includes the exclusive Wet Sounds Boat Link 3.5mm output jack, which allows you to connect and link your audio with other Wet Sounds equipped systems.

Auxiliary Input. 3.5 mm input jack for MP3 player or additional wired audio source
equipped systems

Blue or Red Illumination: The Wet Sounds WS-220 BT can be set to Blue (default) or Red illumination.
