This guide provides instructions for setting up and using the Klark Teknik AIR LINK DW 20BR Bluetooth audio receiver.
Product Overview
The Klark Teknik AIR LINK DW 20BR is a wireless audio system that allows you to stream audio from Bluetooth-enabled devices to your sound system.
The device features a compact design with a PAIR button, a LEVEL knob for volume control, a DC INPUT for power, and OUTPUTS for connecting to audio equipment.
Controls
Step 1: Controls
- PAIR button: Enables the unit to become available for pairing by pressing and holding the button for 4 seconds. The LED ring will indicate the current status.
- LEVEL knob: Adjusts the volume of the signal sent to the output jacks.
- DC INPUT: Accepts the included power adapter.
- OUTPUTS: Connect to an amplifier, powered speakers, or mixer via balanced XLR or unbalanced 1/4" TS cables.
Getting Started
Step 2: Getting Started
- Connect the DW 20BR to a mixer or speaker system using either XLR or 1/4" cables. Ensure the volume on the speaker or mixer channel is turned all the way down to prevent popping noises. Do not connect the power cable yet.
- On your smartphone or tablet, activate Bluetooth and scan for available devices.
- Connect the power adapter to the DW 20BR and to a power outlet. The unit will turn on automatically and attempt to pair with the most recently connected device.
- To connect a new device, press and hold the PAIR button for 4 seconds. The LED ring will flash quickly to indicate it is ready to pair.
- Select the DW 20BR from the list of available items in your Bluetooth device's settings menu. The DW 20BR LED will light up solid without flashing to confirm a successful connection.
- Note: Disable cellular reception when streaming audio from a cell phone to ensure uninterrupted audio.
- Begin playing audio from your Bluetooth device. Adjust the volume on the Bluetooth device, then turn up the LEVEL knob on the DW 20BR so that the speaker or mixer receives a strong signal.
- Increase the volume on your speaker, mixer, amplifiers, etc., until you reach your desired listening level.
Connection Notes:
- If your Bluetooth audio device is compatible, Play/Pause can be toggled with a short press of the PAIR button on the DW 20BR while the Bluetooth stream is active.
- Audio cannot be streamed from a single Bluetooth device to multiple DW 20BR units simultaneously.
- To switch to another unit if already connected:
- On an Android device, delete the first unit from the Bluetooth device list, then perform a new search/pair as described above.
- On an iOS device, two units may appear connected in the Bluetooth settings menu. In this case, you can select which unit will receive audio via the music application's settings. Both units will be named "Klark Teknik DW 20BR".
