AIR LINK DW 20: Wireless simplicity designed for stereo broadcasting

The Klark Teknik AIR LINK DW 20R integrates into the AIR LINK DW 20 ecosystem, designed to provide a dedicated wireless link for stereo audio broadcasting with straightforward implementation. The goal is to maintain a clean signal path and quick installation while remaining suitable for field constraints: compact format, robust construction, and mounting options for discreet integration.

Positioned as the receiver in the pair (with the DW 20T transmitter sold separately), the DW 20R is suitable for both temporary setups and more permanent installations. It is advertised as designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, targeting environments where cable runs are to be avoided while retaining professional-grade connectivity at the output.

For which installations should you choose the DW 20R?

The DW 20R is particularly relevant whenever you need to receive a stereo signal remotely to send it to a mixer, amplifier, audio processor, or a pair of active speakers, with placement constraints (distance, aesthetics, safety, audience flow). It is well suited for reception areas, retail stores, rooms, and events for background music, occasional broadcasting, or simple sound reinforcement where quick setup is important.

In multi-zone scenarios, it is possible to deploy multiple DW 20R receivers to extend coverage. Each DW 20R pairs with only one DW 20T transmitter at a time, which helps structure distinct zones if each zone has its own transmitter/receiver pair.

Transmission, connectivity, and integration: designed for the field

2.4 GHz digital transmission: a license-free, easy-to-deploy link

The DW 20R relies on digital transmission technology in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, convenient for license-free worldwide use. This approach aims for stable and consistent stereo broadcast reproduction while facilitating integration in various environments (store, reception area, multipurpose room, light event).

Range and reception: articulated external antenna to adapt to the location

With a maximum advertised range of 30 m, the DW 20R covers typical distances for close-range installations. Its articulated external antenna allows orientation adjustment to improve reception depending on installation height, obstacles, and the layout of the stage or broadcast point. In practice, this feature saves time during setup, especially when the ideal receiver location is not perfectly clear.

Balanced XLR and unbalanced 6.35mm Jack outputs: immediate compatibility

The DW 20R focuses on connectivity that speaks to both technicians and installers. You have balanced XLR outputs (Neutrik connectors) for long cable runs and professional "line" inputs, as well as unbalanced 6.35mm Jack outputs to adapt to many devices. The result: you quickly connect the receiver to a mixer, amplifier, processor, or powered speakers without multiplying adapters or complicating cabling at the output.

Aluminum housing, protections, and mounts: durable integration

Designed in an extruded aluminum housing, the DW 20R is built to withstand repeated use, whether in live events or fixed installations. The rubber protective corners secure placement and reduce risks related to shocks. The included floor/wall mounting brackets facilitate clean and stable mounting, useful to conceal the receiver, secure equipment access, or maintain a neat installation in public spaces.
