Adding impactful bass to your factory installed system is simple with The Epicenter® Plus. The added OEM Interface on The Epicenter Plus converts your speaker-level signals into high quality pre-amp outputs to give you More Bass, LOUDER! Plus, you get an auxiliary input for adding secondary sources (like iPods and Satellite Radio).
The high-impedance Speaker Level Inputs allow you tap off factory speaker leads for simple addition of aftermarket subwoofers to any factory audio system. AudioControl’s exclusive GTO™ Signal Sense Turn-on and corresponding 12-volt remote output provide the turn-on lead for aftermarket amplifiers. In addition to speaker-level inputs, The Epicenter Plus has line-level inputs for use with aftermarket systems.
The Epicenter Plus uses AudioControl’s famous Digital Bass Restoration to drive your subwoofers lower, grabbing the attention of every ear on the boulevard.
The unique bass restoration circuit of The Epicenter, originally patented by AudioControl, looks at the low frequency harmonics that are in the upper frequencies and uses them to recreate the lower bass fundamentals that have been compressed, rolled off, or simply removed. The chart shows what it does for the signal. What it does for you, is provide deep earth-shaking bass that you’ve never heard before.
Woofer Protection - Now that we’ve restored the bass to your system, can your woofers handle it? Of course they can…its all a question of degree. That’s why we’ve included our Bass Maximizer and the PFM subsonic filter. With these settings, your installer can set The Epicenter to provide just the right level of bass signal for your speakers.
Simple: Boosting the bass fixes very little! You can’t boost what you don’t have. Remember that the bass level is not just low…it’s missing! This is why bass requires so much equalization in most cars and still falls short. The Epicenter gives the customer what they are is looking for. Better bass! Not just louder noise, but truly better bass. This is especially critical with downloaded music. The Epicenter restores the bass that’s missing in MP3s.
The Epicenter Plus is an active, high-impedance (20K Ohms!) device that accept speaker-level inputs from factory installed amplifiers up to 400 watts.
The Epicenter Plus contains AudioControl’s patented bass restoration circuit that recreates and injects low frequency information back into the signal path. What that means in everyday terms is that The Epicenter Plus will give dramatically more bass impact in your music regardless of whether your choice of format is compact discs, MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, AU, FKAC, TTA,WMA or good ol’ tapes.
Since many car audio enthusiasts are multi-tasking listeners who want to use secondary sources like iPods, MP3 players, and satellite radios, The Epicenter Plus provides an auxiliary audio input for these devices. If you use this function, you will need to use a source that has its own volume control. The Auxiliary input is easily activated by tapping the dash control knob. You will be happy to know that The Epicenter Plus has a cool blue LED indicator that will light when the Auxiliary input is activated.
If you are like many people who enjoy the look and features of your factoryinstalled source unit but feel your system is lacking in power and bass, we have good news. The Epicenter Plus has high-impedance speaker-level inputs that allow it to accept amplified signals from all known factory-installed systems (even Bose) and output a high-quality pre-amp signal via standard RCA connectors. This will allow you to add better-quality aftermarket amplifiers, processors and speakers while keeping the convenience features of your factory-installed source unit. Unlike inexpensive speaker-level and line-output converters, The Epicenter Plus offers the highest sound quality and can handle the full signal strength of a 400-watt per channel amplifier.
Most factory-installed source units lack the features that make it easy to upgrade with really good-sounding, performance aftermarket products. One of those key features is a 12-volt trigger that will “turn-on” devices like The Epicenter Plus and your external amplifiers. Therefore, we have equipped the speaker level inputs of The Epicenter Plus with our unique GTO™ (Great Turn On) signal-sensing inputs. Once the GTO inputs of The Epicenter Plus detects a signal, it powers up. When the signal goes away, The Epicenter Plus will automatically turn off. Optionally, The Epicenter Plus is also equipped with a standard 12-volt trigger (Remote In) that will allow you to turn on The Epicenter Plus in the traditional manner when you are using the pre-amp inputs.
Since you will be using an external amplifier(s) and processor in your system, you will need the ability to “trigger” or turn-on these devices (a romantic dinner won’t quite work here). The Epicenter Plus has a high-current 12-volt output (labeled “Remote Out”) that will provide a trigger to these remote devices, when The Epicenter Plus is powered up. Please note that this output is not to be used as the main power for these devices.
This unique feature is legendary with many AudioControl fanatics for its ability to fine tune the bass response of any system. Why waste power on nasty subsonic information when your Programmable Frequency Match (PFM) filter can help you clean things up?
The Epicenter Plus circuitry has the ability to produce large amounts of deep, mind shattering bass without damaging your speakers. The Bass Maximization circuit allows The Epicenter Plus to maximize the bass output of any autosound audio system while restraining destructive bursts. If your are a speaker, this is a good thing.
The Epicenter Plus is designed to be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, with the exception of the radiator or front bumper. It comes with a dash-mountable control that allows you to enjoy the bass-restoration effects of The Epicenter Plus without having to leave the driver’s seat. Additionally, by just tapping the switch, you can select between the main inputs (Pre-amp/speaker level) and the auxiliary input. The LED turns cool blue when the auxiliary input is engaged.
