Lc8i

AudioControl LC8i – 8‑Channel Line Output Converter (SEO‑Optimized Description)

The AudioControl LC8i is a high‑performance 8‑channel line output converter (LOC) designed for complex factory audio systems. It lets you keep your factory radio and factory amplifier while adding multiple aftermarket amplifiers, subwoofers, and upgraded speakers for a true high‑end in‑car audio system.

With eight channels of speaker‑level input and eight channels of preamp output, the LC8i is perfect for vehicles with multi‑channel OEM systems (front/rear/center/sub) where you want full control and clean signal to your aftermarket gear.

Ideal for Factory System Integration
The LC8i is engineered specifically for OEM integration:

• Accepts high‑power, speaker‑level signals from factory amplifiers
• Sums and converts multiple channels into clean, adjustable RCA pre‑outs
• Works with complex factory systems that have built‑in crossovers or multiple speaker zones

Its compact chassis makes it easy to install under a seat, behind the dash, or in the trunk, giving installers flexibility in space‑constrained vehicles.

Multi‑Amp & Multi‑Zone System Flexibility
With the LC8i 8‑channel LOC, you can:

• Add several aftermarket amplifiers (front, rear, center, and sub)
• Build active front stage systems or multi‑zone setups
• Maintain full use of factory volume, balance, and fade controls while feeding high‑quality signal to your amps

Independent level controls on each output channel allow precise gain matching and system tuning for maximum performance and minimal noise.

Key Features

• Eight channels of active speaker‑level inputs
  Designed to handle high‑power factory amp outputs and complex OEM systems.

• Eight channels of preamp outputs (RCA)
  Provide clean, adjustable line‑level signals to multiple aftermarket amplifiers.

• Internal summing (model dependent / system dependent)
  Allows combining of frequency‑limited factory channels to create full‑range signals for your amplifiers.

• Output level controls
  Individual level adjustment for each channel to properly match amplifier gains.

• GTO™ (Great Turn‑On) circuit
  Automatically turns the LC8i on when it detects signal on the speaker‑level inputs, then provides a 12V remote output to switch on your amplifiers.

• Compact, installer‑friendly design
  Slim profile for flexible mounting locations and clean, professional installations.

• High‑quality AudioControl engineering
  Low distortion, wide bandwidth, and robust build quality for long‑term reliability.

(If you sell the optional dash remote for sub level with the LC8i, you can add: “Compatible with optional dash‑mount remote level control for on‑the‑fly subwoofer adjustment.”)
