Audio Control LC8i

The Audio Control LC8i is a versatile and highly efficient eight-channel line out converter with an auxiliary input. With its active input circuitry, it can accept speaker-level inputs of up to 400 watts per channel from factory-installed source units or amplifiers. This converter transforms these signals into high-quality pre-amp signals, allowing users to direct them to aftermarket processors and amplifiers while maintaining the use of factory volume and steering wheel controls.

What sets the LC8i apart is its flexibility. It is equipped with an auxiliary input that makes it easy to add secondary source units like iPods or satellite radio tuners. The multi-function dash knob allows users to switch effortlessly between the main speaker-level inputs and the auxiliary input. It also provides volume control for the auxiliary input and level adjustments for the subwoofer output.

The LC8i incorporates proven OEM integration technology derived from AudioControl's popular LC6i, LC7i, and The Epicenter® Plus signal processors. Its speaker-level inputs can accept high-wattage signals, either full range or crossed over. It can also sum and combine signals from factory radios with built-in crossovers to provide a full-range preamp signal. For those looking to enhance the sound quality even further, the LC8i is compatible with AudioControl's range of crossovers and equalizers, offering greater control over factory signals.

In terms of specifications, the LC8i features eight input and output channels that can handle 400 watt signals per channel. It has a built-in auxiliary input for easy connection to portable audio devices. The multi-function dash control included with the LC8i allows for source selection, auxiliary input volume control, and subwoofer level adjustments. It also has a selectable GTO™ signal-sensing turn-on circuit.

The LC8i is designed with performance in mind. It has low total harmonic distortion of 0.01% and a wide frequency response of 10Hz-22kHz, ensuring high-quality audio output. It also offers convenient control features, including remote in and 12VDC remote out. The power supply is a high headroom PWM switching design, and the unit has a current draw of 350mA.

The LC8i is compact and lightweight, with dimensions of 8.6”W x 4.75”D x 1.2”H and a weight of 3.0lbs (1.4kg). It comes with an ACR-3 remote, speaker and power connectors, an instruction manual, and a warranty.
