Quick Setup Instructions
1. Position the WaveCAST C transmitter near the sound system or mixer from
which it will receive audio. We do not recommend wall or ceiling mounting, or
putting the device on a cart.
2. Connect the power supply to the Power Supply connector located on the back
of the WaveCAST C. Press in the power button on the front of the WaveCAST C.
The power button should light up. If not, go back and check the power
connections.
3. Choose and configure the analog audio source. The audio source must be
configured in the menu before plugging the source into the jack to avoid
damage to the input circuit. Push the V (DOWN ARROW) button twice to highlight
“Audio Source”. Push the right button to choose between ANALOG LINE IN, MIC,
PHANTOM MIC +12V, Dante, or 400 Hz Test Tone. When the desired audio source is
displayed, it is now live. When selecting phantom mic input, press center okay
button to confirm.
4. Push the power button to turn the unit off. 5. Connect the audio source to
the audio input jack on the rear of the WF T5C. 6. Push the power button to
turn the unit on. 7. With the audio source playing, adjust the Audio Input
Gain on the WF T5C so that the level pulses up to
0dB. Press the < (LEFT ARROW) button repeatedly to increase the Audio Input
Gain, or press the > (RIGHT
ARROW) button repeatedly to decrease the Audio Input Gain. 8. Connect an
Ethernet cable from your local area network, or Wi-Fi router to the Ethernet
port on the
WaveCAST. This network will be used to broadcast the audio. 9. Once the
transmitter detects an active network is present (either Ethernet or Dante),
the WaveCAST’s Ethernet
control IP address will be displayed in the upper left part of the main screen
on the OLED. 10. Use a device, such as a smartphone, with the WaveCAST App
installed to listen to the audio and test that
device is working and sounds correct.
To adjust settings via a web browser: 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your
local area network, or Wi-Fi router to the connector on the transmitter
labelled Ethernet. Besides providing the web page, this network will also be
used to broadcast the audio to Wi-Fi enabled receiving devices. 2. Open a web
browser on a computer or mobile device that is also connected to the same
local network as the WaveCAST C. 3. In the address bar of the browser, type in
the IP address of the WF T5C (the IP Address is shown on the transmitter’s
main info screen) and push the enter key on the keyboard. (Note: it is not
necessary to type “http://” or “www.” preceding the IP address.) 4. The
browser will open the transmitter’s web page, displaying a Login button. Enter
the user name “admin” and the default password “admin” then click the log-in
button. 5. The web browser will now show the transmitter’s Home Page, which
shows the current WaveCAST C status info. The tabs at the top navigate to
different pages that can be used to configure the transmitter’s settings.
A Wi-Fi network is required for streaming to devices
The WaveCAST C unit does not provide Wi-Fi on it’s own. If streaming audio is
desired, a Wi-Fi Network is required, for the device to receive streaming
audio from the WaveCAST C. The Wi-Fi network will need to be established
before the streaming feature can be used. The WaveCAST C is connected to a
hard-wired ethernet network containing a Wi-Fi access point (or a router with
Wi-Fi). Audio is streamed out of the RJ-45 ethernet jack over the network and
through the access point, to the end device. This ethernet jack, labelled
“Streaming Audio Out”, is shown on page 6.
Router and Network Equipment Selection
The WaveCAST C is intended to be set up on an already existing Wi-Fi network;
however, upgrades to your network equipment may be necessary depending on the
performance desired from the WaveCAST C. For instance, a higher-end, more
powerful router will allow more users to connect to your audio stream than
using a
5
WaveCAST C
cheaper, less powerful router. The Wi-Fi network will need to be accessible to
the users who will be listening to the audio. If the user’s devices cannot
connect to the network due to security settings, they will not be able to hear
the audio. The WaveCAST C system will put a demand on the network. If the
network cannot handle the demand, whether because it is being used for other
networking needs or because the networking hardware is not strong enough, the
WaveCAST C will be unable to reach its maximum audience, and there may be
performance issue, such as dropout or “breaks” in the audio. When streaming to
a small or medium sized audience, a basic networking configuration may
suffice. When streaming music using multiple channels (such as having several
WaveCAST units on your network), a powerful router and network configuration
is more likely to be required. The WaveCAST Networking Guide is available on
the Williams AV website for additional networking tips. The WaveCAST
networking guide applies to the WaveCAST C as well as other WaveCAST products.
Wiring and Connections
Power Supply Connection Connect the TFP 062 power supply to the round Power
Supply Jack located on the rear of the WaveCAST C transmitter labelled “24VDC
0.75A”.
Ethernet and Dante RJ-45 Connection
If connecting to a network or directly to a PC, a. Ethernet cable must be
used. A crossover cable is not necessary because the WF T5C is auto-
configuring.
Audio Source Connections
The WaveCAST C transmitter will accept the following audio sources: 1 Balanced
Microphone with or without 12 volt phantom power (DIN 45596) on a 3-pin
(XLR)connector 2 Balanced/Unbalanced microphone with or without phantom power
on 1/4 inch (TRS) jack
6
WaveCAST C
3 Balanced/Unbalanced Line on a 3-pin (XLR)connector
4 Balanced/Unbalanced Line on 1/4 inch (TRS) jack
5 Dante on an RJ-45 jack (optional)
WARNING: The WaveCAST C is not designed to accept 70 volt speaker signals!
This may result in damage to your system The sound source should come directly
from the system mixer or digital source as a low-level or unprocessed signal
IMPORTANT: When a suitable audio source has been determined, you MUST
configure the audio source in the menu of the WaveCAST C before plugging that
source in

By constructing a simple resistive mixer, stereo (or 3 channel) sources can be connected to the WaveCAST C.
Additional channels can be accommodated by adding a resistor for each source.
Note: The Dante audio input will automatically mix the left and right channels.
Avoiding Hum in the Audio (as a Result of a Ground Loop)
A hum created by a ground loop can often be eliminated by connecting a
capacitor in series with the audio line shield to the transmitter’s ground.
This method also maintains good radio frequency (RF) shielding. Determining
the effectiveness of this method for your installation usually requires some
experimentation.

Selecting an Audio Source Appropriate for Hearing Impaired Listeners
The WaveCAST C transmits audio with excellent fidelity. Therefore, the audio
source signal should be of the highest audio quality and not subject to a
compressor, limiter, reverberation, or other signal processing equipment.
While compressed audio is available through the WaveCAST C, excessive
compression is not helpful to the hearing impaired and can contribute to
excessive noise in the audio.
The WaveCAST C audio source signal is usually connected to a mixer’s line
output signal which is behind the mixer’s parametric equalizers but ahead of
any equalization used for house loudspeakers.
If audio delay is available for use in large auditoriums, it’s usually best to
use it. Because radio signals travel faster than sound, delaying the
transmitted audio so that an average listener (in the middle of the listening
area) hears the transmitted audio a few milliseconds after audio from the main
sound reinforcement system speaker is helpful. This will also help audience
members who lip read.
Connecting to other Devices
The Analog LINE/MIC Input (XLR / 1/4″) jack can be used with standard pro
audio electronics such as standard pro audio line level condenser microphones
up to 15v or an analog line output from a mixer. The combination jack accepts
either XLR or 1/4″ (TRS). This source must be configured in the menu before
plugging the source into the jack. If, for example, the MIC Input is selected,
and a line level source is plugged in, it may be possible to blow out the MIC
input circuitry.
The Ethernet and Dante RJ-45 jacks can be used to connect the WaveCAST C to
either a local network or directly to a single computer or Dante device.

WaveCAST C
Audio Settings
The Audio Settings provide the ability to change the audio characteristics for
different listening applications, choose the input source, adjust the input
level, and adjust the headphone volume.
Audio Source (OLED or Web Page)
The Audio Source menu is used to configure the WaveCAST C for the audio source
jack and type of source that will be used. The audio source must be configured
in the menu before plugging the source into the jack.
The Audio Source menu has the following selections to choose from: Line Level,
Microphone, Mic + 12V (Mic+Phnt), 400Hz 0dB Test Tone or Dante (optional).
This can be set through the front OLED display or the web page.
Note: When selecting Mic +12v, the additional voltage will not activate until
`Select’ is pressed as confirmation.
Audio Input Gain
The Audio Input Gain adjusts the incoming audio level into the WaveCAST C.
This adjustment only affects analog audio. Changes to the input level will
affect the level, indicated by the graphic level display pulsing higher or
lower when audio is present. Audio Input Gain is adjustable from -60dB to
+24dB in 1dB steps.
Audio Presets
The Audio Presets allow the user to quickly and easily configure the WaveCAST
C for common applications. There is a Custom setting if customization is
desired, or three pre-configured settings.
There are three pre-configured to choose from: Hearing Assist, Music, and
Voice When one of these selections is made, the performance of the WaveCAST C
is immediately optimized for the needs of that application (an adjustment is
automatically made to the Low-pass Filter, High-pass Filter, and Compression).
Refer to the chart below for a comparison of the Audio Preset configurations.

For music, concerts, and other applications where the highest audio quality is desirable, Music is the
recommended mode of operation. By default, the WaveCAST C is shipped in the Music mode.
For hearing assistance applications or applications where the message is critical for listening, Hearing Assist is the recommended mode of operation.
For speaking and other voice applications, Voice is the preferred mode of operation.
This can be set through the web page ONLY.
Custom Audio Preset
If the three preset configurations do not meet the needs of the venue, the Custom audio preset can be used. The custom preset allows the user to adjust the High-Pass Filter cutoff frequency, Low-Pass Filter cutoff frequency, and choose the Compression Ratio. If the audio preset is changed from Custom to Music, Hearing Assist, or Voice, the Custom settings are still saved for use in the future. The custom settings are overwritten when the preset is changed.
This can be set through the web page ONLY.
High-pass Filter
A High-pass Filter cuts off low frequencies and lets high frequencies pass through. The pole frequency chosen is the point where the cutoff takes effect. The high-pass filter will help to remove low frequency noise from the transmitted audio signal, such as room noise, a line hum, or breath accents picked up from an improperly
11
WaveCAST C
installed microphone. Available frequencies are: 31, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160,
200, 250, 315, 400, 500, and 630 Hz. This can be set through the web page
ONLY.
Low-pass Filter
A Low-pass Filter cuts off high frequencies and lets low frequencies pass
through. The pole frequency chosen is the point where the cutoff takes effect.
The low-pass filter will help to remove high frequency noise from the
transmitted audio signal, such as hiss in the audio line as a result of room
noise, sharp speech sounds, or other uncomfortable high frequency sounds.
Available frequencies are: 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 6.3, 8.0, 10.0, 12.5, and 16 kHz.
This can be set through the web page ONLY.
Dynamic Range Compression
Dynamic range compression reduces the volume of loud sounds and amplifies soft
sounds. This type of compression is typically used for voice and hearing
assistance applications for a listener who has difficulty hearing the quiet
sounds of an audio broadcast. For listening to music programs, concerts, etc.,
lower compression ratios or no compression is generally used. The WaveCAST C
has three selectable modes of compression:1:1 (compression off), 1.5:1 (low
compression) or 2:1 (high compression). For applications such as music and
voice, where high audio quality is desirable, 1:1 is the recommended mode of
operation. For hearing assistance or applications where the transmitted
message is critical for listening, 1.5:1 or 2:1 is recommended. This can be
set through the web page ONLY.
NOTE: The WaveCAST C is shipped from the factory at a 1:1 compression ratio
(no compression). NOTE: Some hearing impaired people cannot tolerate as loud
of a sound as those with normal hearing. Using compression can help protect
those users. However, compression also can make audio sound flat. Only use
compression when it is the best choice for the listeners.
Front Display Time-Out
The Screen Time-out is the amount of time the front panel screen will stay lit
with no activity. This only indicates that the front panel menu system has not
been used for a period of time. It does not indicate whether the device is
actively transmitting or not. The available options are: 10 minutes, 30
minutes, 2 hours, and Always On. This can be set through the web page ONLY.
Screen Lock
The front panel screen of the device can be locked to prevent any changes from
being made outside of the web page. The buttons may be locked and unlocked by
pressing and holding both the left and right buttons at the same time. When
locked, a small lock icon appears at the top middle of the screen. Once
locked, if a button is pressed, a popup message will alert that the screen is
locked. Screen lock can be set two ways; 1. Using the front buttons as
described, 2. Through the web page on the Options page.
User-Entered Server Description
The Description field allows the user to easily identify the server and can
only be adjusted from the settings website. This typically comes into play
when multiple servers need to be distinguished from each other. The
description appears on the front main info screen, the WaveCAST app, and also
on the web page. In a rack, all the user has to do is activate the main info
screen with a touch of any button on the front, and the description is
displayed as one of the fields on the main info screen. On the web page, this
appears under the Channel/Server Description of the Options web page, making
it easy to identify which transmitter the web page is controlling. It’s
possible to enter all blanks in the description field, and then the
description will be blank on the front display.
This can be set through the web page ONLY.

WaveCAST C
Restore Defaults
The Restore Defaults action will restore the transmitter to its original
factory settings. Restoring defaults from the front panel or the web page will
reset all settings including IP Addresses, Subnet Masks, Gateways, IP Address
Mode, and Web Password. After the WaveCAST C reboots, any static ethernet
connections will be lost.
This can be set through the front OLED display or the web page.
Network Settings
The WaveCAST C is defaulted to DHCP if no configuration has been done. An IP
address will be automatically assigned to the WaveCAST C once an Ethernet
cable has been connected to the device and network connection found. (Assuming
there is a DHCP server on the network). Any change from the default
configuration (DHCP) has to be done through the WebGUI. For example, entering
a Static IP, Subnet, etc.
Network Settings can only be edited from the web page.
Additional WaveCAST Servers
Several WaveCAST devices can be on the same network. WaveCAST devices include
the original WaveCAST, WaveCAST C, IR+, and WaveCAST EIGHTS, along with their
Dante counterparts. The number of devices that can be put on the network
depends on if the device is or has been configured as a unicast or multicast
device.
Up to eight WaveCAST EIGHTs can be on the same network, as these devices are all multicast. Adding in an original WaveCAST or WaveCAST C running in unicast mode will lower the maximum number of devices to four, because those devices are unicast.
The maximum number of devices allowed on the network can be adjusted with the Max Servers on Subnet option on the web page. This may be necessary if you have a mix of unicast and multicast devices.
This setting must match on all multicast devices on the same network, or the devices will throw an error and be unable to stream. Unicast device will always be limited to 4 devices on the network, and therefore do not have a Max Servers on Subnet setting. If unicast devices are included on the network, the Max Servers on Subnet setting on multicast devices must be set to 4.
If only multicast devices are included, the maximum can be set to 4 or 8, as long as Max Servers on Subnet settings is the same on all devices. If settings are mismatched, the server will be unable to stream audio and will throw an Incompatible Server error. Devices that are missing this feature may need their firmware updated.
Adjusting Network Settings
The Network Settings screen where the IP Address Mode (Static or DHCP), the IP Address, and Subnet Mask are set via the web page. See “Network Settings” on page 13 for details on how to use the web page.
Network Settings:
IP Address Mode Static or DHCP
IP Address If set to DHCP mode “Current IP Address” is displayed. When set to Static mode, these fields appear as “Static IP Address”, “Static Subnet Mask”, and “Static Gateway Address”. When the “IP Address Mode” is set to Static, the IP information must be manually entered.
Subnet Mask If the IP Address Mode is set to Static, this is where the Subnet Mask is manually entered
Gateway If the IP Address Mode is set to Static, this is where the gateway is manually entered
Note: Subnet Mask and Gateway only apply when Static is selected
Mac Address this is displayed only and cannot be altered
TTL this settings controls the amount of switch hops before the packet is dropped

Secure Mode This can be enabled or disabled, and a 6-digit PIN number can be assigned. If enabled, users will need to use this PIN to log on to the audio stream over Wi-F. Users attempting to listen to the stream without the PIN will be unable to do so.
Network Compensation Buffer increasing this setting buffers more packets, thereby reducing the amount of
dropped packets (choppy audio), but increases latency (lip-sync delay). Decreasing this setting increases latency
and also increases the possibility of dropped packets.

WaveCAST C
Audio TX Mode Audio can be broadcast as unicast, multicast, or completely shut
off.
Max Servers on Subnet When in unicast mode, up to four servers can be active
at the same time. When in Multicast mode, up to eight serves can be active.
See “Additional WaveCAST Servers” on page 13 for more details.
Multicast Address If needed, the multicast cast address can be enabled and
either manually set or randomly generated. This setting is under the Advanced
options.
DHCP IP Addresses are usually preferred to manual static IP addresses unless
there is a good reason to use a Static IP scheme.
To set up a static IP Address: 1. Determine appropriate static IP, subnet mask
and gateway addresses for the WaveCAST C.
a. If someone set up your network, they may be able to help you determine an
appropriate IP address (i.e. network system administrator). b. There should be
no other device having this same address on the network. c. This will be an
address on the same subnet as the router.
For example, if the router’s address is 192.168.1.100, the first three sets of
numbers will be the same (i.e. 192.168.1), and the last number will be the
number you determine for the WaveCAST C (i.e. .You can choose another number
instead of .100). When you determine this address, remember or write it down.
You will need it later. 2. In the web page on the Network Settings page,
select ‘Static’ for the fields to show, then enter the above information for
the device. 3. Click Submit and Reboot when ready. 4. A notification will be
displayed. Acknowledging the notification will save the settings and restart
the device. Selecting the “Request a static multicast address” requests a
multicast address from the router.
Dante
Dante can be set as an input from the front display or web page. Audio routing
is configured through Dante controller. There are no additional settings
available on the front screen or the web page.
VU Meter Levels
The VU level corresponds to specific decibel ranges, and may cause issues when
set too low or too high. Use the table below to pick an appropriate range for

Web Page
The WaveCAST C provides a web page to manage the transmitter settings which
can be accessed over either a hard-wired or wireless network connection with
most internet browsers.
Most changes take effect when the submit button is clicked. The only setting
that takes immediate effect is the audio input gain, so that the changes can
be immediately seen on the VU meter. Some changes require a reboot. Any
updates made through the front panel will show up on the web page once the
current page has been refreshed (navigated away from, going to a new page, or
simply refreshing the page).
1. Open the web browser of your choice. 2. In the address bar of the browser,
type in the IP address of the WaveCAST C (displayed on the front OLED
screen) and hit Enter. 3. You should see the Login Page of the WaveCAST C.
Login Page The default User name is “admin” and the default password is
“admin”. The user name and the password can (and should) be changed on the
website’s Admin page.
Error Alert If the WaveCAST C encounters an error, a message may appear at the
top of the screen. Clicking the Clear Error button will hide the alert. Not
all errors require action, however, if an error continues occurring or affects
system performance, contact Tech Blue.

WaveCAST C
Main Settings Page The Main Settings page displays all current audio settings,
as well as corresponding WaveCAST C web-based controls. It is the first page
to appear when logging into the website. Note: Network speed can also affect
the audio monitor updating and web page performance.
WaveCAST C
Options Page The Options page displays user preferences that can be tailored
to each WaveCAST C system.
The description sets the name of the device, which may be used to uniquely
identify the device without referring to the IP address.
Error Message: ERR_WEB_404_RESPONSE This error message indicates no internet connection. This connection is optional; however, without an internet connection, most personal devices will seek a different connection for data service. Sometimes without the user’s knowledge, the phone’s data connection will switch from Wi-Fi to cellular service. When this happens the App will not produce any audio, and the user will have to manually change their phone’s data service back to WiFi and make sure they are connected to the Wavecast access point, and possibly need to close and re-open the App. One way around this is to put the phone in Airplane mode, as this limits the phone to Wi-Fi only.

WaveCAST C
Upload Image Page An image can be uploaded that will display next to the
channel name for any users listening using the WaveCAST Receiver app. This
image can be used to easily distinguish the content of your audio broadcast.
The image must be under 128kB and be in PNG or JPG format. If no custom image
is uploaded, the default Williams AV W logo will display instead:
WaveCAST C
Network Settings Page The Network Settings page displays the current network
configuration of the unit. Typically these are not modified after initial
installation is completed. Changing a static IP address or subnet will not
instantly take place. The changed IP address or subnet will only take affect
once the device is rebooted. Rebooting can be done with the front power button
or by using the “Submit and reboot” button on the Admin web page.
The image can be replaced at any time. To completely remove the image, the device must be reset via the front panel menu.

WaveCAST C Administration Page The Admin page displays administrative controls
that can be used to help with non-technical WaveCAST C users, or for remote
site troubleshooting purposes. The login username and password for the website
can be set from this screen. If the username or password is ever forgotten, it
can be restored to its default value by restoring defaults via the front panel
menu. The Restore Defaults button on the web page (as well as the restore
factory defaults function on the front screen) will reset all of the devices
settings including username, password, and IP information. Updates are
performed from the Admin page. At the bottom of the page, upload the update
file (provided by Williams AV) and hit the update button. Your system will
begin the update process from there, which will include a reboot. Do not power
down the device until it has successfully rebooted (main info screen has
appeared) There is no indicator for the progress of the update, but it should
take around two minutes. Updating, restoring or rebooting the device will make
the website temporarily unavailable as the system resets. A full error log can
be downloaded by clicking the Download Error Log link. This may be useful when
working with Customer Service.
Note: If the IP address or subnet of the device was changed and the device is
being rebooted, the website may not be available at the same URL location.
Take note of the network information before rebooting the device. See “Network
Settings” on page 13 for more information.

WaveCAST C
WaveCAST Receiver App
The WaveCAST Receiver app allows listeners to hear the audio on their
personal, Wi-Fi connected devices, such as a mobile phone. Make sure the
latest app is downloaded on the device and the latest OS is installed.
Download the WaveCAST App
Download the WaveCAST app from the Apple App Store for iOS devices or Google
Play Store for Android devices.
It is recommended that the app is downloaded in advance over an internet-
connected wi-fi network or cellular network.
Join the WaveCAST Wi-Fi Network
Once the WaveCAST App is downloaded, join the same Wi-Fi network that the
audio is being broadcast over. If no channels are listed when selecting an
audio channel, there is no audio being streamed on this Wi-Fi network. Ensure
you are on the correct Wi-Fi network.
Select an Audio Channel
When the App is opened for the first time, a list of available channels will appear. Tap on the channel to listen to the audio. The venue should provide the name of the channel to listen to for your event if more than one is available.
Channels marked with a lock icon require a code to join. Enter the join code
assigned to the channel when prompted. If a channel is currently streaming, it
will have a blue checkmark next to its channel name.
If there are many servers on your network, or your network is set so that
servers cannot be discovered by outside devices, the WaveCAST app can connect
to a server via IP address. Tap the Discover by IP text at the bottom of the
channel screen then enter the IP address of the WaveCAST server. The channels
being broadcast by that server will then be available on the channel select
screen. It is recommended that this feature is not used with a general
audience as they may not type the IP address correctly.
Listen to the Audio
Once an audio channel has been selected, the audio should start playing
automatically. The volume of the audio can be adjusted using the slider in the
middle of the screen, or with the physical volume controls on the personal
device.
To mute the audio, tap the speaker icon. Tap it again to unmute the audio. To
switch channels, hit the back arrow at the top of the screen.
Note on Wi-Fi Assist/Smart Network Switching
The WaveCAST does not require an internet connection. It can be placed on an
internal network with no internet connection.
Some phones expect network connections to provide internet access. When the
phone cannot reach the internet, it may automatically try to switch to a
network connection with an internet connection. Sometimes, the phone
determines that the best internet connection is through a mobile data network.
This is not the desired behavior when using the WaveCAST network. The phone
will automatically take the user off of the WaveCAST audio streaming network,
and onto a unrelated internet network connection. This will prevent the user
from hearing the audio, and they may not realize their phone switched networks
on them.
Steps for disabling this feature will differ for every phone, but is typically
found under the Wi-Fi or Mobile network settings. Look in the manual for your
phone for instructions on disabling this feature.

WaveCAST C
WaveCAST Receiver
The WaveCAST Receiver (WF R1 or WF R2) is available for customers who do not
want to use their personal device for listening to Wi-Fi Audio. The receiver
is a dedicated listening device with the WaveCAST app available on it. For
more information on our Wi-Fi receiver, visit williamsav.com for product
specifications, manuals and more.
NOTE: Wi-Fi receivers may be required to meet national and international
requirements for device minimums when using Wi-Fi audio for assistive
listening. Personal devices typically cannot be counted in meeting device
requirements; receivers must be available on request. Please check your
location’s legal requirements to see if you need a Wi-Fi Receiver.
Troubleshooting
Website GUI problems
The full website GUI is unavailable · If you are only able to install a
firmware update, the website stored on the WaveCAST C has been corrupted,
likely by a power outage. Install the firmware for your current version (or
newer) of the WaveCAST C via the firmware update page to restore the website.
· If sections/text or graphics are missing in the WebGUI, but the firmware
update section is accessible, try reinstalling the latest firmware. (This can
be found on the “Downloads section of the product page on the WAV website). If
this doesn’t restore the entire WebGUI, the unit may need to come back to
WilliamsAV for service. · Check your network settings. The IP address is
viewable on the front panel of the device.
Lost username or password · Using the front panel menu, restore defaults. See
“Restore Defaults” on page 13.
Website not behaving as expected · The website will only work with a modern
browser. For example, do not use Internet ExplorerTM 11 or earlier. · Try
switching browsers. Google ChromeTM is our recommended browser.
Audio problems
The On Air Indicator is not on Note: The front panel display indicates RF
status, and the RF Settings section of the web page shows the RF on/ off and
RF power level status. If either of these are indicating that the RF power
status is off, then:
· Ensure the transformer (TFP 062) is plugged into the transmitter and any
remote power switch is on. · Ensure the front power button is pressed and
latched to the onposition and the power LED is lit. · Ensure there is audio
present. The RF may time-out and shut off if audio is not present for a period
of time.
No Audio heard through earphone jack · Check that the VU meter is lit to see
if there is a signal coming from your audio source. Check and correct your
audio source, if necessary. · Check to see if the Headphone Volume Level
hasn’t been turned all the way down. If so, increase it. · Check to see if
there is an incorrect or defective connection from your audio source. · Check
and correct your audio gain level, if necessary.
Noise or Distortion in the Audio · Check to see if there is noise in the audio
source. To find out, disconnect the audio cable. If the noise disappears your
noise problem is in the source. Correct or repair your audio source. · Ensure
the Audio Source configuration is set to match the audio source input device.
See “Audio Source Connections” on page 6 for how to properly configure the
Audio Source. · Check for ground loops or noise on the input signal. If you
are still having trouble, call your Authorized Williams AV dealer or
representative.
Noise in audio grows when program is silent · The Audio Gain Control may be
set too high. You may be seeing the +6 dB level indicator lighting all the
time on the front of the device. See “Audio Source (OLED or Web Page)” on page
11. · Check the Compression Ratio, which may be inappropriate for the type of
program being transmitted. Try setting the Compression Ratio to 1:1
(compression off). See “Dynamic Range Compression” on page 12.
22
WaveCAST C
Volume too quiet · The audio gain control may be set incorrectly on the
transmitter. Correct the Audio Gain control setting by adjusting it until the
sound level peaks between 0 and 6 dB.
· Check the batteries in the receiver. For non-rechargeable (alkaline)
batteries, they may need replaced. If you are using rechargeable batteries,
ensure the batteries are fully charged prior to use.
· The audio input may not be configured for the audio source being used. If
not, correct the setting of the Audio Source control menu. See “Audio Source
Connections” on page 6.
· Some users may not be helped by this system. Severe hearing loss may require
using the system with a T-Coil and personal hearing aid rather than
headphones.
· If using Wi-Fi, some phones and tablets have the ability to broadcast to a
T-coil; research the phone model to see if this is an option.
Wi-Fi reception difficulties
No Reception · Ensure the listener’s device is connected to the correct
WaveCAST network, has the current iOS or Android app installed, and is
listening on the same channel as the WaveCAST C is transmitting on.
Missing Channel Image on App · Images may not load when many users are
connected. Try reloading the list of channels.
