Open / test report (PDF)

The AudioControl LC7i, six channel active line converter, allows all music lovers, who want a great in-car audio experience, to keep their factory installed source unit and dramatically improve their system performance. The LC7i delivers amazing sound quality and fixes one of the biggest letdowns of today’s factory systems, weak BASS!

Designed for maximum sound quality and enhanced audio performance, the LC7i incorporates AccuBASS™. This patented process automatically corrects for the bass roll-off that is common with many factory-installed audio systems and AudioControl’s unique and exclusive AccuBASS™ circuitry maintains and restores the Bass as the volume is turned up, improving the audio performance.

The LC7i allows the flexibility of powering the audio signals downstream to single or multiple factory amps maximizing sound quality & achieving high output at a great price. In addition, the LC7i is designed to fit into a compact chassis allowing an easy & flexible factory system upgrade in today’s space constrained vehicles. The ACR-1 dash remote (sold separately) allows the user to control the level of the low frequency output.

Alle Features im Überblick

• Six channel, high power, active speaker level processing

  Get amazing sound from factory source units while maintaining factory controls and features. Active line output conversion assures the highest quality signal is sent to the amplifiers, and leaves passive converters in the dust. Works with factory systems rated up to 400 watts per channel!

• AccuBASS®

  Most factory systems roll off the bass response at high volume levels, leaving the system sounding thin and weak. AccuBASS™ corrects the roll off that occurs at high volume levels, delivering killer bass at all volumes!

• GTO™ circuit ("Great Turn On")

  GTO™ is a system that automatically turns on the LC7i when it detects the presence of signal on the main input. This eliminates the hunt for a turn on wire for the LC7i and amplifiers. Coupled with GTO™ is a turn on output that is designed to turn on aftermarket amplifiers.

• High output, low noise preamplifier

  The LC7i will feed up to 8.5 volts of high output signal to amplifiers, extracting maximum performance. It’s more than 4x the output of a typical aftermarket head unit. Output level controls allow fine-tuning for optimum sound quality and performance.

• Internal channel summing

  Some factory systems have amplified outputs that use active crossover networks. Internal channel summing eliminates the factory crossovers. This feature is selectable. If summing is not used, the LC7i functions as six separate channels allowing front to rear fading with subwoofer.

• AutoMode

  The LC7i is equipped with an AutoMode feature that is designed to feed signal to the channel 3 section when the factory system only has front and rear outputs. AutoMode takes the channel 2 (rear) input signal and automatically feeds it to the channel 3 outputs to drive a subwoofer amp and crossover. This means your LC7i will accept two input channels (say, front and rear) and give you three output channels (front, rear, and sub).

• Compact chassis

  The LC7i is in a very compact chassis, allowing placement in more convenient areas within the vehicle, saving time and money during the installation.

• Remote Level Control (Optional)

  Optional ACR-1 remote level control allows level adjustment of Channel 3 outputs.
