How To Use The Klark Teknik DW 20T and DW 20R Wireless Audio System
The Klark Teknik DW 20T and DW 20R are professional wireless audio transmission solutions designed for modern sound systems. DW 20T (Transmitter): Sends audio signals wirelessly DW 20R (Receiver): Receives the transmitted audio signal

They operate on the 2.4GHz frequency band, delivering high-quality stereo audio with ultra-low latency, and provide a transmission range of up to 30 meters (100 ft) in open spaces without obstructions.

Practical Applications

  • Transmit audio from mixers, media players, laptops, or musical instruments to speakers without running long cables

  • Ideal for restaurants, cafés, meeting rooms, small events, or spaces where clean, cable-free aesthetics are required

Key Features

✅ Stable wireless connection with high-quality stereo audio
✅ Supports both balanced XLR and unbalanced ¼” TS inputs/outputs
✅ Compact, lightweight design for easy installation
✅ Stereo/Mono switch for flexible audio routing

Device Overview & Connections

Each unit features:

  • PAIR Button – to link the transmitter ( DW 20T) with the receiver ( DW 20R)

  • LEVEL Knob – adjusts input level (on DW 20T) or output level (on DW 20R)

  • SIGNAL LED – indicates audio signal status (Green = normal, Red = clipping)

  • XLR & ¼” TS connectors – compatible with most professional audio gear

  • Stereo/Mono switch – choose between stereo playback or summed mono

  • DC IN power port – connects to the included power adapter

Quick Setup Guide

To establish a wireless link between the DW 20T (Transmitter) and DW 20R (Receiver):

✅ Step 1: Connect DW 20T to the Audio Source

  1. Identify your audio source (e.g., mixer, media player, laptop, musical instrument).

  2. Choose the appropriate connection:

    • Use XLR for balanced, noise-free signals

    • Use ¼” TS if XLR is unavailable

  3. Plug the cable into the INPUT port of the DW 20T.

  4. Ensure the connection is secure to avoid dropouts.

✅ Step 2: Connect DW 20R to the Audio Destination

  1. Identify your audio destination (e.g., active speakers, another mixer, or a power amplifier).

  2. Choose the appropriate connection:

    • Prefer XLR for balanced output

    • Use ¼” TS if needed

  3. Plug the cable into the OUTPUT port of the DW 20R.

  4. Double-check all connections.

✅ Step 3: Power On and Check LEDs

  1. Connect the DC power adapters to both units.

  2. Plug the adapters into a reliable AC outlet.

  3. Confirm the POWER LED is lit on both devices.

✅ Optimal Placement & Range

  • Keep the distance between DW 20T and DW 20R under 30 meters for best performance.

  • Avoid large obstructions like concrete walls or metal structures.

  • Keep away from potential interference sources like Wi-Fi routers, mobile phones, or strong Bluetooth transmitters.

  • Place both units higher off the ground with a clear line of sight when possible.

Pairing (Linking) DW 20T & DW 20R

  • 1:1 Pairing (One transmitter to one receiver)

    • Hold the PAIR button on DW 20T for ~4 seconds (LED will flash rapidly).

    • Within 30 seconds, hold PAIR on DW 20R for 4 seconds.

    • When LEDs on both devices turn solid, pairing is successful.

  • 1:N Pairing (One transmitter to multiple receivers)

    • Repeat the same pairing process for each additional DW 20R.

    • One DW 20T can broadcast to multiple receivers simultaneously.

  • Reset Pairing

    • Hold the PAIR button on DW 20T for 10 seconds to clear all previous receiver links.

Adjusting Levels & Signal

  • Use the LEVEL knob to adjust input/output gain.

  • Monitor the SIGNAL LED:

    • Green = normal signal

    • Red = clipping → reduce LEVEL to avoid distortion

  • Stereo Mode: for two-channel music playback

  • Mono Mode: when sending the same signal to multiple speaker zones

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

  • No connection?
    → Check pairing status, ensure both units are within range, and reset pairing if needed.

  • Audio dropouts or interference?
    → Reposition devices away from Wi-Fi routers or metal obstructions.

  • Clipping LED (red)?
    → Lower the LEVEL knob to prevent signal overload.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Clean with a dry cloth, avoid moisture and extreme heat.

Real-World Applications

  • Restaurants & Cafés: Stream background music wirelessly without running long cables

  • Meeting rooms & conferences: Connect laptops or mixers to installed speakers seamlessly

  • Small events: Send audio from the stage to speakers in different areas

  • Multi-zone audio: One DW 20T can feed multiple DW 20R units across different rooms
