HT-1 600 Watt Monoblock Class D amplifier OWNER’S MANUAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wet Sounds HT-1 Owner’s Manual
Congratulations! Thank you for purchasing the Wet Sounds Hydro-TechTM series amplifier. Wet Sounds represents the ultimate in high performance Marine Audio. Wet Sounds™ Hydro-Tech™ Series Marine Amplifiers are designed to be a complete solution for every type of extreme marine application. The Hydro-TechTM amplifiers use superior performance circuitry by utilizing Class D Power Supplies.
Running the Wiring Cables **Always keep the signal cable and the power cables separated to prevent the possibility of inducing noise into the system** Carefully run the power and the signal cables through the boat. Always keep all the wire tight and tied down to prevent the power wire from shorting and reduce the risk of fire. A 4 AWG or larger wire should be used for power and ground connections. We recommend a fuse to be installed on the power wire within 18 inches of the battery for safety.
Remote Connection This amplifier is designed to accept a 12 AWG – 16 AWG wire input on the terminal block for speaker outputs 1 and 2. (Diagram A). The Remote Turn-on is how the amplifier knows when to turn on and off. This is typically connected to the remote output wire on an aftermarket radio. When connecting this amplifier to a factory radio, you will need to find a +12 volt accessory wire that switches on and off with the key.
The HT-1 has an optional remote line level control knob included in the package. This remote knob allows the user to adjust the output of the amplifier. This is not a boost or frequency sweep of any kind. This is an attenuating knob, simply put it is similar to a volume control for your subwoofer. Speaker Terminal Inputs The HT-1 utilizes removable speaker terminal blocks for easier installations and stronger power connections. The terminal blocks are designed to accept 12 AWG- 16 AWG speaker wire.
Amp Diagram with Legend 1. RCA Inputs and Line Level Control- . RCA Input Jacks—Accepts line level outputs from source units or signal processors at voltages between 250mV and 5 volts. The remote level control allows the user to have an adjustment knob located away from the amplifier to give the user control of the amplifiers output. 2. Gain Control 1-2 – This is the input sensitivity gain control for channels 1 & 2. 3.
1. Speaker Terminal Output Block 1-2 – This is the speaker connecting block for channels 1 & 2. 2. Remote Turn On—This terminal turns on the amplifier when (+) 12 volt is applied to it. Connect it to the Remote Turn on lead of the head unit or signal source. 3. Fuses—The fuses protect the amplifier against internal electrical damage and are meant to protect the amplifier only. All other power connections should be fused at the source 4.
Setting up the Amplifier Input Selection Because of the wide range of head unit/radio output configurations all Wet Sounds amplifiers have an adjustable input sensitivity or “GAIN”. The gain is NOT a volume or a power limiting control similar to a throttle. It makes the amplifier more sensitive to input from the stereo. When the gain is turned up the amplifier will reach full output at lower volume levels on the head unit/radio.
Bass Boost This amplifier is equipped with a variable bass boost for 0db to 18db of signal boost which will increase the signal output @ 45 Hz.. (See below) Phase 0-180 The HT-1 offers the ability to switch the phase of the subwoofer with a switch. This is when you would reverse the speaker connection on the positive and negative terminals on the subwoofer. The HT-1 offers this ability without having to rewire the system, just rather flip the switch on the HT-1.
