Introduction

Wall panel - Microphone & line receiver

The WP205 & WP210 are remote wall mixers. The WP210 can be used with various AUDAC devices, while the WP205 is
an external wall mixer designed to be used only with the ARES5A. It converts the signal coming from a stereo line-level audio
source (such as a tuner, mobile devices, ... ) or balanced microphone a the level corresponding to the differential signal input
making it possible to transfer high-quality audio over long distances between the wall panel and the loudspeaker, by just
using inexpensive twisted-pair CAT5e or better cabling. On the front side of the wall panel, there is a 3.5 mm jack stereo line
input connection available together with a balanced XLR microphone input, both provided with their own knob which allows
the signals to be mixed together. The wall panels are available in 2 colours and is compatible with most standard EU (80x80
mm) style in-wall boxes for solid and hollow walls. With the Elegant front panel, it will blend into any environment

Chapter 1

Overview front panel

On the front side of the wall panel, there is an unbalanced 3.5 mm jack stereo line input connection available
together with a balanced XLR microphone input, both provided with their own knob which allows the signals
to be mixed together.

Balanced microphone input

Potentiometer for signal control

Front panel description

Balanced microphone input

A balanced microphone can be connected to this XLR input connector. For powering condenser microphones,
phantom power can be enabled.

Unbalanced line input

An unbalanced stereo audio source can be connected to this 3.5mm jack stereo line input.

Unbalanced stereo line input

Potentiometers for signal control

The individual signal levels for the line and microphone inputs can be adjusted with these potentiometers.
This feature allows for the signals to be mixed together.

WP2xx - User manual08

Overview rear panel WP205

The rear side of the WP205 contains an 8-pin Terminal Block connector. Below of the 8-pin connector are some
DIP switches. With these switches certain functions can be switched on or off depending on the situation where
the WP is in.

Terminal block output connection

Rear panel description WP205

8-pin terminal block (3.81 mm pitch) output connection

The rear of the WP205 contains an 8-pin Euro-Terminal Block connector. For more information on how to
make the connections can be found under “Connecting” in Chapter 3 of this manual.

DIP switches

DIP switch enable / disable output level +12 dBV: When the option of +12 dBV is enabled, the wall panel is
compatible with remote input devices. When it is disabled, the wall panel is compatible with standard line
inputs (0 dBV)

DIP switch mono / stereo: With this switch, the operation mode can be switched between mono and stereo
mode for the Line or Mic signal. When the wall panel is used in mono mode, the input signal applied to the
left input signal will be available on both left and right outputs.

DIP switch for phantom power

DIP switch enable / disable output level +12 dBV

DIP switch mono / stereo for Line or Mic

DIP switch enable / disable phantom power: The phantom power for the microphone input can be enabled
or disabled.

Overview rear panel WP210

The rear of the WP210 contains an 8-pin Terminal Block connector, which is used to connect the wall panel to the
RJ45 connector. Below the 8-pin connector is a 6-pin connector. This input connector is a duplicate of the line and
mic input but for permanent connections. Below of the 6-pin connector are some DIP switches. These switches
allow certain functions to be turned on or off, depending on the situation the WP is in.

Quick start guide

This chapter guides you through the setup process for a basic setup where a WP205 or 210 should be
connected to a loudspeaker system with wired network. Install your wall panel on the desired location by
means of the optional available WB45S/FS (for solid walls) or WB45S/FG (for hollow walls) installation boxes.
Provide a twisted pair cable (CAT5E or better) from the receiving device to the wall panel.

Connect the 8-pin terminal block to a receiving device with a twisted pair cable. After all those connections
are made, just plug-in the connectors of the twisted pair cable, plug in the mains power on the loudspeaker
side and your system is ready for operation.

You can plug in your line and microphone audio sources to the wall-panel, and your sounds should be
audible through the system.
