Active Line Output Converters

Integrate your aftermarket amplifier cleanly into a compatible factory or OEM audio system with 12 Volt Outlet's selection of active line output converters (LOCs) — the professional's choice for high-quality speaker-level to RCA conversion in today's complex factory-amplified vehicles.

Active line output converters use powered circuitry to convert compatible speaker-level signals to RCA-level outputs. Input-voltage limits, channel summing, signal sensing and level controls vary by model. Active conversion alone does not flatten factory equalization, correct phase or time alignment, or recover missing frequency content.

Factory-amplified systems can divide frequencies, equalize signals or apply time alignment before the speakers. Identify the available signal and required vehicle integration first. Depending on the system, a suitable interface, channel summing or a processor with the specific correction features may be needed in addition to or instead of a basic active LOC.

Compare model-specific features such as signal-sensing remote turn-on, adjustable input sensitivity, load compatibility and channel summing. Bass restoration or equalization is available on certain products, not an inherent feature of every active LOC. Check the exact model and vehicle requirements before ordering.
