WLCx2

DUAL AMPLIFIER WIRELESS LEVEL CONTROLLER

*** This is a LIMITED run of this style case.  This case is made for us by LAF and features a full wrapped graphic acrylic remote.  Once these sell out they will likely NOT be sold again in this form! ***

The final release of this product will feature an ABS plastic case on both the base module and the remote, with the top plates being a user-swappable acrylic panel.  We will have additional top plate designs to choose from with different colors and graphics as an add-on accessory.  This will allow you to change the look of your bass knob whenever you want and as many times as you want without having to purchase a whole new knob with a different design.

FEATURES

• Dual Amplifier Control - Control two independent amplifiers, each with 2 input/output channels
• WIRELESS! (of course) Bluetooth 4.0 LE Technology = No wired connections to remote level controller needed
• RGB Lighting with 7 solid color options, plus 3 effects settings
• L.E.D. Illumination Brightness Control
• Low-Voltage Hold.  Pressing the knob will toggle between current voltage and the lowest recorded voltage (Resets if voltage does not drop any lower for 5 seconds)
• OLED display shows Audio Output Level (graph and numerical), Vehicle voltage, Low-Voltage Hold, Battery Life Indicator, and Wireless Connection Indicator
• Safe Mode.  When active, Safe Mode will automatically mute the audio level as soon as connection with the remote is lost for any reason.  Saving your equipment!
• Adjustable Sensitivity.  Adjusts the amount you need to turn the knob vs Change in audio output.  Choose from 3 settings: Low, Medium, High 
• Full analog audio In-Out.  No audio signal is converted or transmitted via Bluetooth
• High-quality digital potentiometers  
• High-quality "Tiffany" style RCA connections. (Two amplifier inputs/outputs with 2-channels each)
• Up to 25 feet of range
• USB-C Charging
• Built-in Sleep Mode.  Up to 35 hours of battery life with automatic power-saving sleep mode.
• Battery protection (over discharge, over-charge, short circuit, over-current)
• Wide frequency response (10Hz-50kHz)
• Magnetic mounting plates for easy docking and removal
• AND MORE!

HOW IT WORKS:

The Wireless Level Controller consists of two major parts.  The BASE and the REMOTE.  Aside from a few simple electrical connections, (B+, Ground, Remote), the base module of the WLC has standard RCA Input and RCA output connections just like a conventional level control knob such as the standard Slam Panda bass knob, LC-1, etc.  The RCA Input connects to your source unit (head unit, DSP, etc).  The RCA Output connects to your amplifier.  The remote connects to the base module via a very low latency Bluetooth LE 4.0 wireless connection.  When the knob on the remote is turned clockwise or counter-clockwise, a signal is sent to the base to raise or lower the audio output level.  The audio signal is not transmitted wirelessly or converted in any way.  It remains fully analog in and out of the base module.

If the remote becomes disconnected from the base module (powered off, battery dies, remote moves out of range), the audio level will remain at the point it was at when the remote lost signal.  This also allows you to set the audio output at a comfortable listening level and not have to have the remote powered on constantly.  It will remain at the same output level, even if the base module is turned off and back on.  However, if Safe Mode is turned on, the audio output will automatically mute if the remote loses signal with the base module for any reason.

The OLED display of the remote also provides useful information such as;

• Vehicle Voltage with Super Fast Refresh Rate and Low Voltage Hold
• Audio Output Level with Numerical and Bar-Graph Display for each amplifier
• Wireless Connection Indicator
• and Remote Battery Status
