Six Channel Line Output Converter
with Multi-Channel Equalization and AccuBASS™
The LCQ-1 is your gateway to amazing sound from a factory head unit. It
is a compact, six-channel, high-performance, OEM
line output converter with independent multi-
channel equalizers to custom tune the system.
AudioControl’s patent pending AccuBASS™
compensation corrects for the factory bass
roll-off present in many of today’s cars.
In short; the LCQ-1 can make every car
sound amazing.
If you want even more, add the
optional dash mounted level control
(ACR-2) which allows control of the
subwoofer output. The ACR-2 will
also operate as an in/out switch for the
EQ section. Very handy addition!

Quick Install Guide
Since some of you will want to install your LCQ-1 on your own we offer a
few reminders in the following short section to speed up your installation of
the: You should also refer to diagrams on page 9 and 10 as guidelines.
Physically mount the LCQ-1 in a location that keeps it away from soda
spills, food crumbs, and curious fingers. Select a location that allows you ac-
cess to the top panel equalization controls.
The LCQ-1 needs to be installed in the signal path between your OEM
source unit (or factory amplifier) and after-market amplifier(s) and/or
processor(s).
Do not connect the LCQ-1 between the factory head unit and
the factory amplifier.
Locate the amplified speaker wires that are coming from
your factory source unit and/or amplifier and connect them to the speaker-level
inputs on your LCQ-1. In many cases you can find factory speaker leads in the
rear of the vehicle or at the factory amplifier that are easy to access.
Note: If your source unit has front, rear, and subwoofer speaker-level out-
puts, connect them to the three sets of inputs on your LCQ-1. If the source unit
only has front and rear outputs, the Auto Mode circuitry in your LCQ-1 auto-
matically routes the Channel 2 input channels to the (Channel 3) subwoofer
channels.
Use RCA connecting cables to connect the RCA outputs of the
LCQ-1 to your after market amplifier(s). If this is not obvious to you, quickly
pack up your LCQ-1 and run to your nearest authorized AudioControl dealer to
have them perform the installation. You will thank us later.
C12 power, and ground. Note: The LCQ-1 has a 12-volt trigger
input but normally you will just let the GTO turn on circuit take care of that by
itself.
Connect your amplifier trigger
input
to the 12-volt trigger
output
of the LCQ-1.
Turn your amp gains fully down before turning on the system.
Turn on the system and level match your LCQ-1 to your source unit, signal
processor and amplifiers. For more help see our technical videos at
