Features and Highlights
Speaker-Level Inputs
If you are like many people who enjoy the look and features of your
factory-installed source unit but feel your system overall is lacking pow-
er and bass, we have good news. The LC6i has high-impedance speak-
er-level inputs that allow it to accept amplified signals from all known
factory-installed source units (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 convenient features of your factory-installed source unit.
Unlike inexpensive speaker-level and line-output converters, the LC6i
offers the highest sound quality and can handle the full signal strength
of a 400-watt amplifier.
GTO™ Signal-Sensing Inputs
We have equipped your LC6i with our unique GTO™ (Great Turn On)
signal-sensing inputs. Once the GTO input of your LC6i detects a speak-
er-level signal on the Main Inputs, it powers up. When the speaker-lev-
el signal goes away, your LC6i will automatically turn-off. Optionally,
your LC6i is also equipped with a standard 12-Volt trigger (Remote In)
that will allow you to turn on your LC6i in the traditional manner. The
GTO circuit can be disabled by setting an internal jumper.
12-Volt Output Trigger
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). Your LC6i has a high-current
12-Volt output (labeled Remote Out) that will provide a trigger to these
remote devices, when the LC6i is powered up. Please note that this
output is not to be used as the main power for these devices.
