Product Overview
The AudioControl LC1i 2-channel line output converter and line driver helps you connect a factory radio to aftermarket amplifiers. It accepts speaker-level or line-level audio and provides adjustable preamp output for your system.
Selectable input loading, multiple turn-on options, and ground isolation help address common factory-audio integration needs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two input types: Connect speaker-level factory outputs or available line-level feeds.
- Selectable input load: Match the input impedance to support OEM integration.
- Flexible turn-on: Choose GTO signal sensing, Audio Sense, or remote turn-on to suit your source.
- Ground isolation: Help minimize ground-loop noise between the LC1i and other system components.
- Adjustable preamp output: Set the output gain to suit the connected amplifier.

Why Choose This Product?
The LC1i gives you a way to bring factory-radio audio into an aftermarket amplifier setup without replacing the radio as the first step. Its speaker-level and line-level inputs support different source signal types, while adjustable output gain helps you set the signal for the connected system.
Its signal-sensing and remote turn-on choices make it useful in installations where the source’s available turn-on method matters. The LC1i can also remain part of the system if you later upgrade the head unit.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Check your source’s audio output type and your system’s connection plan before installation. The chassis measures 4.8" L × 3" D × 1" H, so allow for that space when planning placement.
Use the stated 1 A recommended fuse and account for the 120 mA current draw when planning power connections. Confirm the chosen turn-on method and input load setting suit your installation.
