, for network remote control and
management over the Ethernet port
• Includes an Ethernet port for remote contro l and management from the
Kramer Site-CTRL™ software and for accessing the stored Web pages

• Has a USB port for programming via a computer
• Is available as a 3 Gang wall plate for the USA
To achieve the best performance:
• Use the dedicated Kramer WP-500 installati on ca ble . If this is not av aila ble,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise-levels
(often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your
Kramer WP-500 away from moisture, excessive sunlight an d dus t
1 Kramer Site-CTRL is a powerful A/V asset management tool. It offers real-time network monitoring and control of Kramer

5.1.1 Connecting the Microphone
You can connect either a dynamic or a condenser microphone to the MIC IN
3.5mm mini jack.
Before connecting the microphone, set the microphone mode switch t o dy n am ic
or condenser (by default, this switch is set to dynamic).
The Dyn/Cond mode switch is located behind the front panel on the lower lef t
side of t he MI C I N 3.5m m j ac k , as illustrated in
Figure 5.
It is recommended to set the mic mode switch before mounting the WP-500 front
panel.
When disconnecting the microphone or switching it OFF, turn the
microphone volume adjustment knob to the left (MIC mute).
When using the microphone, pay attention to th e p lac em ent of the spe ak ers . By
placing the speakers properly, the chance of getting audio feedback is minimized.
