INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Dayton Audio WF60PA 60-watt plate amplier with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth audio! The WF60PA
is a feature-packed full range Class D plate amplier that makes it easy to add high-quality Wi-Fi and AptX Bluetooth 4.0 wireless
connectivity to your speakers. In addition to its wireless inputs, the WF60PA features RCA, 3.5mm, and optical digital inputs, plus a
subwoofer output (LFE).
The WF60PA is ideal for the project builder or OEM, with endless applications. Use the WF60PA to build multimedia speakers,
powered monitor speakers, or even retrot existing speakers! Each Wi-Fi module is serialized for easy identication when using
multiple plate amps, and each plate amp powers its host speaker plus an additional passive unit with up to 30 watts per channel.
ASSEMBLY
Select a mounting location for the WF60PA amplier module that allows the 30" speaker cable to easily reach the speaker or
crossover input terminals. The 30" lead is factory terminated with 0.205" disconnects for easy connection to speaker and crossover
terminals. Mount the WF60PA amplier
module into a 4" (W) x 5-3/4" (H) cut-out
in your cabinet, and bore an 11/16"
diameter hole to mount the IR target/
BT/Wi-Fi pairing indicator PCB.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The WF60PA features a variety of
input connections to suit a variety
of needs:
1.) OPTICAL – Connect an S/PDIF
Toslink cable to this input. The Toslink
input supports PCM digital audio
signals via an optical cable and a
high-quality AKM digital-to-analog
converter.
2.) AUX 2 –
headphone-level signal to the 3.5 mm
AUX 2 input using a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm
or 3.5 mm to RCA cable.
3.) AUX 1 – Connect a line-level
stereo audio signal to the AUX 1 input
using quality RCA style cables.
4.) SUB OUT – Connect a powered
subwoofer to the SUB OUT using
a standard RCA style cable. The
subwoofer plays content below 80 Hz
when connected; the speaker outputs
remain full-range.
5.) RIGHT SPEAKER OUT –
Connect a remote full-range
speaker to the SPEAKER OUT. Be
sure and pay attention to positive
and negative polarity. The amplier
will provide up to 30 watts into a 4
ohm minimum impedance on this
connection.
6.) WPS: Wi-Fi Simple Conguration – is a network standard
to securely add devices to your wireless network.
7.) POWER – Switch to the ON position when operating the
WF60PA and the OFF position when the unit is not in use.
8.) AC INPUT – Connect line power to the AC INPUT using
the included non-polarized “gure 8“ style power cord. The
WF60PA switch-mode power supply accommodates a full
range of operating voltages from 115-230V, and is double
insulated for use with non-grounded line cords.
Connect a line-level or
Note: For modeling use both 2D and 3D mechanical les are available for down-
load of this plate amplier. Files can be found on the daytonaudio.com website.
9.) SPEAKER (LEFT) OUTPUT – This speaker output is
designed to connect to the speaker inside of the enclosure, and
the Speaker (Right) output on the rear panel of the amplier will
connect to your right passive speaker to give you a powered
stereo pair.
10.) IR CONTROL BOARD – This is the IR received that
should be installed in your speaker or project to allow control of
the ampliers functions with the handheld IR remote control.

REMOTE CONTROL
POWER – Toggles the power state of the amplier from STANDBY to ON. When the unit is ON, the
indicator LED will illuminate BLUE. When the unit is in STANDBY, the indicator LED will illuminate
RED. (Note: Turning OFF the rear power switch will turn power completely off to the unit, disabling
the remote.)
VOLUME – Adjusts the volume level of the amplier. If the source device has a volume control in
itself, set the volume to full then control the volume with the WF60PA volume control. As the volume
increases or decreases the blue indicator LED will ash. When volume is at min or MAX, the blue
indicator LED will not ash.
MUTE – Press once to temporarily mute the amplier. The blue indicator LED will ash slowly while
the WF60PA is muted.
PLAY/PAUSE – Press once to play or pause program audio in Bluetooth mode only.
PREVIOUS/SKIP – Press to move to the beginning of the current song or advance
to the next song in Bluetooth mode only.
AUX 1/2 – Press once to switch to the corresponding analog input on the amplier. The blue
indicator LED will ash once.
OPTICAL – Press once to switch to the S/PDIF Toslink input on the amplier. The blue indicator
LED will ash once.
BLUETOOTH –
indicator LED will ash once.
WiFi – Press once to switch to the Wi-Fi input on the amplier. The blue indicator LED will ash once.
Press to switch to and pair with the Bluetooth input on the amplier. The blue

OPERATION
Once you have completed installation of the WF60PA into your project it is best to test the system using a known operating source
component connected to one of the analog inputs. The default state of the amplier at power-ON is to enter STANDBY mode; use
the remote to turn the power on and select an input to begin listening.
PHYSICAL CONNECTION
Connect an audio source to any of the three external inputs. Permanent connection of sources including CD/BD/DVD players,
television/satellite/cable boxes, game consoles, and other sources are best supported using the OPTICAL or AUX 1 (RCA) inputs,
while portable music players and PCs are best supported by the AUX 2 (3.5 mm) input.
WIRELESS CONNECTION – BLUETOOTH®
Bluetooth connectivity provides an easy, wireless connection for a personal audio device such as a tablet or mobile phone. The
WF60PA utilizes a Bluetooth 4.0 transceiver featuring aptX® decoding for CD quality audio, and also supports legacy A2DP,
AVRCP, HFP, and HSP Bluetooth audio. This is a Class II Bluetooth receiver with a range of approximately 10 meters. To pair
your device, press the Bluetooth button on the IR remote control, scan for new Bluetooth devices on your phone or tablet and
select the device labeled “WF60PA“. The blue LED indicator will ash in pairing mode, when pairing is successful the LED turns
solid blue.
Note: The remote control functions PREVIOUS, SKIP, PLAY, and PAUSE are only available for use in Bluetooth mode.
WIRELESS CONNECTION – WI-FI
The Wi-Fi connection in the WF60PA operates using your home Wi-Fi internet connection. The Wi-Fi connection provides an
easy, wireless connection for streaming music, using the Hi-Fly app, AirPlay®, or DLNA.
Open the Hi-Fly app on your smart phone. Ensure your amp is powered on and is in Wi-Fi mode. Follow the in-app directions to
connect your WF60A amplier to your network.
STANDBY MODE
The WF60PA will automatically switch to standby mode if no signal is sensed for 15 minutes. When a signal is sensed, the WF60PA
will “wake-up“ automatically and begin to operate. Power consumption in standby mode is less than 0.5W.
