Upgrade your vehicle's audio system with the AudioControl LC8i, a highly versatile 8-channel active line output converter engineered to seamlessly integrate high-performance aftermarket amplifiers with your factory stereo. Whether your vehicle features a complex OEM premium sound system or a standard radio, the LC8i guarantees a crystal-clear, audiophile-grade signal path. It takes up to eight channels of speaker-level input and acts as a powerful line driver, boosting your audio signal up to an impressive 8.5 Volts RMS to ensure your amplifiers receive a clean, noise-free input for maximum dynamic range. For added flexibility, the LC8i features a dedicated pair of auxiliary RCA inputs, allowing you to easily connect a secondary audio source directly to your system.
Built to conquer the challenges of modern factory integration, the LC8i is loaded with AudioControl’s proprietary signal summing technology. This allows you to combine actively crossed-over factory signals (such as separate tweeters, midranges, and woofers) into a seamless, high-quality full-range output. System setup is simplified with GTO™ (Great Turn On) Signal Sense, which automatically powers the unit up when it detects an audio signal and provides a 12-volt remote output to seamlessly trigger your aftermarket amplifiers. Complete with an included multi-function dash remote that allows you to easily switch sources, adjust the auxiliary volume, and control your subwoofer level right from the driver's seat, the LC8i delivers professional-grade integration and bulletproof reliability.
