Description
Product Overview
The AudioControl LC2i is a precision‑engineered 2‑channel line output converter designed to bridge the gap between factory‑installed head units and aftermarket sound enhancements. Built with a rugged metal‑plastic enclosure, the unit measures just 5.4 inches long, 3.25 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high, allowing it to tuck neatly beneath the dash or in a standard speaker cavity. Inside, eight high‑quality pins handle the conversion of speaker‑level signals up to 400 watts per channel into clean RCA line‑level outputs, preserving the full dynamic range of your original audio source. The integrated AccuBASS processing technology automatically compensates for bass roll‑off that typically occurs when the factory volume is increased, delivering deeper, more controlled low‑frequency response without the need for external equalizers. Power is supplied from a 12‑volt source ranging from 9.5 V to 13 V, and the unit includes both fixed and variable output controls, giving you the flexibility to fine‑tune the signal level for each connected subwoofer or amplifier. All components are mounted on a general‑purpose bracket that can be secured with standard hardware, making installation straightforward for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts.
Usage
The LC2i excels in any vehicle where the factory head unit provides only speaker‑level outputs but the owner desires the power and clarity of dedicated subwoofers or external amplifiers. Whether you are upgrading a daily commuter sedan, a performance sports car, or a family SUV, the converter adapts to a wide range of OEM audio systems. Connect the speaker inputs from the factory radio to the LC2i, then run the RCA outputs to your aftermarket subwoofer or amplifier. The device also supports the optional ACR‑1 dash knob remote, allowing you to adjust subwoofer volume from the driver’s seat without compromising the factory controls. Because the LC2i retains the original volume and steering‑wheel control functions, you can enjoy seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing user interface. The converter’s compact size means it does not intrude on passenger space, and its low profile ensures it remains hidden from view, preserving the interior aesthetic of the vehicle.

FAQ
Can the LC2i be used with any car make and model?
Yes. The LC2i is designed to work with any vehicle that has speaker‑level outputs from the factory head unit. Because it accepts a wide voltage range (9.5 V‑13 V) and uses standard RCA connectors, it can be paired with most aftermarket subwoofers and amplifiers regardless of brand or model.
Do I need a separate power supply for the LC2i?
The converter draws its power directly from the vehicle’s 12‑volt system. For optimal performance, we recommend connecting the power lead to a clean battery source using an 18‑AWG wire and installing a 1 A fuse close to the battery to protect against voltage spikes.
Will the LC2i affect my factory radio’s sound quality?
No. The LC2i processes the speaker‑level signal without altering the original audio content. It simply converts the signal to line level while adding AccuBASS correction, which actually improves low‑frequency performance when the factory volume is increased.
Is the LC2i compatible with remote turn‑on signals?
Yes. The unit includes a selectable Great Turn‑On (GTO) feature that can sense a remote‑on signal from the factory head unit or be manually powered via a 12‑volt remote input. This flexibility allows you to integrate the converter into existing remote‑out setups for amplifiers or crossovers.
What warranty does AudioControl provide?
AudioControl offers a limited one‑year warranty covering any manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as water intrusion. Support is available through the company’s technical help line and online resources.
