Description
The AudioControl LC7i is a 6‑channel active line output converter designed for music lovers who want powerful, high‑quality sound without replacing their factory radio. This OEM integration solution lets you keep your stock head unit while adding aftermarket amplifiers, subwoofers, and speakers for a dramatically improved in‑car audio experience. The LC7i is especially effective at fixing one of the biggest weaknesses in modern factory systems: weak bass.
Built‑In AccuBASS for Strong, Clean Low End
The LC7i features AudioControl’s patented AccuBASS™ circuitry, engineered specifically to correct the bass roll‑off common in many factory stereos. As you turn up the volume, many OEM systems reduce low‑frequency output; AccuBASS automatically restores and maintains bass response, delivering fuller, more dynamic sound at all listening levels.
Factory Integration & System Flexibility
Designed for maximum sound quality and seamless OEM integration, the LC7i line output converter:
- Interfaces with factory radios and factory amplifiers
- Provides six channels of speaker‑level input and six channels of preamp output
- Allows internal channel summing, perfect for vehicles where the factory amp has built‑in crossovers
- Can feed single or multiple aftermarket amplifiers, giving you the flexibility to build anything from a simple sub upgrade to a full multi‑amp system
Its compact chassis makes it easy to install behind the dash or under a seat, ideal for today’s space‑constrained vehicles. Pair it with the optional ACR‑1 dash remote (sold separately) to control subwoofer level from the driver’s seat.
