2-CHANNEL LOC / LINE DRIVER FEATURES

2-Channel LOC: 

Line Output Converter electronically adjusts high level speaker outputs to low level RCA

outputs.  Necessary when integrating OEM (factory) radios with aftermarket amplifiers and speakers.

Auto Turn On Sensing Circuit: 

Picks up the voltage from the High or Low level inputs thus eliminating 

the need to hard wire the remote input.

Selectable High/Low Input: 

Allows you to use either a high level (speaker) input or low level (RCA) input.

Variable Gain: 

Matches the output level from the radio to the LOC for maximum signal.

LED Clipping Indicator: 

An Orange LED gives you visual confirmation when setting the Gain control

RCA Low Level Output: 

Tiffany style right and left RCA jacks for maximum signal transfer.

13Vrms Output: 

As a line driver the ALC-2 can boost the output voltage of the radio (head unit) up to 13 

volts before delivering it to the amplifier inputs.

Compact Size: 

Thanks to the extensive use of Surface Mount Devices the ACL-2 can be mounted under 

dash, behind the dash or virtually anywhere.

Additional Features: 

Mounting brackets, hardware and plug-in connectors for easy pre-wiring.
