The BassWatch is a wrist-worn AMOLED touchscreen that pairs with your WVC base station and shows its live telemetry on your wrist. It displays system voltage, per-group volume, amplifier temperature, and audio analysis, and lets you adjust the base station's volume and settings without reaching for a knob or a phone. It is a wireless companion display and controller, not a standalone measuring device: everything it shows comes from the WVC base station it is paired to.
Unlike the wired displays in the AuralSync family, the BassWatch runs on an internal rechargeable battery and charges over USB-C. There is no harness and nothing to wire into the vehicle. It communicates with your base station over the same AuralSync wireless link the rest of the lineup uses.
Navigation is entirely by touch. There is no rotary encoder and no buttons. You swipe, tap, and long-press to move between views and open menus, and you raise your wrist to wake the screen.
Key Features
- Wrist-worn AMOLED touchscreen: a bright, high-contrast display you read at a glance on your wrist
- Watch face home screen: an idle clock face with the time, date, battery, connection status, and a compact telemetry glance (see Watch Faces)
- On-demand monitoring: tap into a full monitoring screen with a mode tab bar for Volts, Volume, Temperature, FFT, Oscilloscope, and Waterfall
- Battery powered: an internal rechargeable battery, charged over USB-C, with an on-screen battery gauge
- Raise-to-wake: tilt your wrist or tap the screen to wake it; it dims and sleeps on its own to save battery
- Touch-only control: swipe between views, tap mode tabs, and long-press to open the menu, all with a bare finger
- Wireless connection: communicates with your WVC base station over the AuralSync wireless link (no Bluetooth or phone required for day-to-day use)
- Adaptive mode tab bar: the monitoring modes adjust automatically to what your base station supports (Volts and Volume always; Temperature, FFT, Oscilloscope, and Waterfall appear when the connected base supports them)
- Volume control: adjust your system's volume straight from your wrist
- Live audio visualization (PRO / PRO 6 bases only): FFT spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, and a waterfall switchable between a 3D mountain-range view and a 2D spectrogram
- Base station control: adjust IDS mode, competition mode, RCA gain, volume curve, voltage calibration, and more, sent straight to your WVC base station
- Over-the-air firmware updates: update both the BassWatch and the connected base station wirelessly
- Adjustable brightness: 10-100% display brightness to match your environment
- Customizable colors: 16 built-in themes plus per-element color overrides
- Encrypted communication: AuralSync mesh encryption is negotiated automatically during pairing
- Automatic channel scanning: finds the best wireless channel for a reliable connection
Compatibility
The BassWatch works with the following LF Audio base stations. The monitoring views and settings it offers adapt automatically to whichever base station it is paired with:
| Base Station | Supported | Available Views |
|---|---|---|
| WVC-PRO | Yes | Volts, Volume, Temperature (1 probe), FFT, Oscilloscope, Waterfall |
| WVC-PRO 6 | Yes | Volts, Volume, Temperature (3 probes), FFT, Oscilloscope, Waterfall |
| WVC | Yes | Volts, Volume |
| WVC-LITE | Yes | Volts, Volume |
| WVC-LITE 6 | Yes | Volts, Volume |
The BassWatch pairs with one base station at a time. See First Boot and Pairing for setup, and Display and Navigation for a tour of every view.
What the Mode Tabs Show
The monitoring screen carries a row of mode tabs. Which tabs appear depends on the connected base station's capabilities:
| Tab | Shows | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| VOLTS | System voltage as a large reading over a scrolling trend, with a min/max readout | Any WVC base station |
| VOLUME | Per-channel-group volume faders (or a single master fader), adjustable by touch | Any WVC base station |
| TEMP | Amplifier temperature for each connected probe over a scrolling trend | A base station with temperature probes (WVC-PRO / WVC-PRO 6) |
| FFT | A real-time frequency spectrum of both channels | WVC-PRO / WVC-PRO 6 |
| SCOPE | A real-time oscilloscope waveform of both channels | WVC-PRO / WVC-PRO 6 |
| WFALL | A side-by-side waterfall of the audio spectrum over time, switchable between a 3D mountain-range and a 2D spectrogram style | WVC-PRO / WVC-PRO 6 |
How It Differs From the Wired Displays
The BassWatch, the WDD-LITE, and the RTC all display telemetry from and control a WVC base station, but they differ in form and power:
| BassWatch | WDD-LITE | RTC | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form | Wrist-worn watch | Flat-panel display | Gauge / flat-mount controller |
| Screen | AMOLED touchscreen | 2.41" rectangular AMOLED | 1.5" circular AMOLED |
| Power | Internal battery, USB-C charge | Vehicle 12 V or USB-C | Vehicle 12 V or USB-C |
| Input | Touch only (swipe / tap / long-press) | Touch only | Touch and a rotary encoder |
| Idle screen | Watch face (clock + glance stats) | Live monitoring | Live monitoring |
The BassWatch is the only display in the family you wear. Its idle screen is a watch face, and monitoring is one tap away when you want it.
