The Wavtech Link8 is an 8-channel high-low adapter with summing function and remote control. If you want to upgrade your audio system with an elaborate front, rear, and subwoofer setup, the Link8 is the perfect tool for this task.

The factory-installed audio systems of today are becoming increasingly complex. Since many of the controls and functions of the vehicle are integrated into the source unit, it is no longer possible to replace it. Some vehicles have amplifiers for each individual speaker. If you are not satisfied with the sound of the OEM system, these factors make an upgrade increasingly difficult. That’s why you need a link8. The link8 is as versatile as an analog integration product can be. The link8 has 8 channels with high-level inputs that can be configured in various ways. With just 2 input channels, a signal can be achieved on all 8 output channels. With 4 input channels, you can have a front, a rear, and a subwoofer output, and even if you sum a 4-way system to a full-range system, the subwoofer level can still be controlled. These are just some of the configurations that are possible through the convenient external controls of the link8.

Another advantage of the link8 is the Aux input. This allows you to control your phone or another mobile device through the audio system. The patented multifunction remote control can switch between the subwoofer output level and the volume of the additional source, or even serve as the main volume control for the entire system. This is especially useful in OEM systems where the volume depends on the equalization. You can even program the remote control so that the priority of the control functions is tailored to your specific system needs.
