Six Channel Line Output Converter
For interfacing with factory installed audio systems
G
reetings from the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. We would
like to congratulate you on your purchase of the LC6; a six-
channel, high-performance, line-output converter. This unique
product will accept two, four, or six channels of speaker-level signal from
a factory-installed amplifier or source unit and convert it to a high-quality,
low-noise pre-amp signal. Therefore the LC6 will allow you to use your
factory installed source unit but give you the ability to add a really good
aftermarket amplifier and processor. Whether this is your first product
from the rainforest dwellers of AudioControl or you are already a firm
believer, you will definitely enjoy how great the LC6 can make your
performance system sound.
Now before you start salivating just thinking about the benefits of your
LC6, take a few minutes to sit back, have a cold beverage, and read
through this manual. It contains lots of useful facts and information - -
and besides, we spent a lot of time writing it!

Here are some of the cool features that your LC6 offers:
• Six input and output channels
• Speaker-level inputs
• AutoMode
• Signal sensing inputs
• Level matching controls
• 12 volt trigger output
• Input for optional subwoofer level control
• Positron nuclear technology (not really, but it made you look!)

Summary of Contents for AudioControl LC6

  • Page 1 Now before you start salivating just thinking about the benefits of your LC6, take a few minutes to sit back, have a cold beverage, and read through this manual. It contains lots of useful facts and information - -...
  • Page 2 One of those key features is a 12-volt trigger that will turn on devices like the LC6 and your external amplifiers. Therefore, we have equipped your LC6 with signal sensing inputs, which means once it detects a speaker-level signal at its inputs, it will power up.
  • Page 3 Level Matching Controls Your LC6 has level controls for each pair of channels. These controls allow you to adjust the signal level from your factory-installed amplifier or source unit to match up with your after-market amplifier or processor. Input For Optional Subwoofer Level Control With the addition of performance, after-market amplifier and speakers, you may feel the need to have more control over your system.

  • Page 4: Quick Installation Information

    For those of you short on time but high on ambition, we offer the following section to speed up your installation of the LC6: 1. Physically mount the LC6 in a location that keeps it away from soda spills, food crumbs, and curious fingers. You will want to select a location that allows you access to the level controls.
  • Page 5 If your source unit has front, rear, and subwoofer speaker-level outputs, connect them to identical inputs on your LC6. If the source unit only has front and rear inputs, the Auto Mode circuitry in your LC6 automatically routes the rear input channels to the subwoofer channels.

  • Page 6: Factory Settings

    Pre-Amp Outputs: These RCA connectors should be connected to the next component after the LC6, such as a signal processor, crossover or amplifier. Do not connect any speakers directly to your LC6 or to any home appliances, like your microwave.
  • Page 7 Remote Out: If you are going to use the LC6 to turn on any external signal processors or amplifiers, connect an 18 to 22 gauge wire from the “Remote Out”...
  • Page 8 LC6 Audio Wiring The LC6 needs to be installed in the signal path after your factory source unit or amplifier but definitely before your after-market amplifiers and/or any signal processors. You may already have guessed there are numerous ways to configure the LC6 in your audio system so we recom- mend you spend a little quality time planning out your system and even sketching it out on paper.
  • Page 9 Connect the speaker wires to the “Speaker-Level Inputs” on your LC6. Make sure to get your “pluses” and “minuses” connected properly. Pre-Amp Outputs Connect good quality RCA connectors from these outputs to the inputs of your amplifiers.
  • Page 10 For some of you, this may be louder than others! At this point you may find yourself going back and adjusting the “Output Level” controls on your LC6 to balance the front, rear, and subwoofer sections of your system to accommodate speaker place- ment and efficiency.
  • Page 11 Dash Control Installation (available separately) Placement And Mounting The dash control may be mounted under the dash using its own bracket or through a custom hole in the dash. It should be within reach of the driver and in a spot where the LED is plainly visible. Dash Bracket Installation The dash control mounts with two screws which attach to the under- side of the dashboard.

  • Page 12: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING No Power: If the Power LED on your LC6 will not turn on, check to make sure that the power wire and remote turn on wires are connected or a fuse has not blown, and there is plenty of signal present.
  • Page 13 The DQS offers six channels of equalization with 30 bands of precise control per channel for a total of 180 filters. If you need a crossover for your system that keeps up with your LC6, the 6XS is a 6-channel, 2-way crossover with breath takingly steep 24dB-per-octave slopes.
  • Page 14 If you meet all of these conditions, we will warrant all materials and workmanship on your LC6 for one year from the date you bought it (five years if it is installed by an authorized United States AudioControl dealer). We will fix or replace it, at our option, during that time.
  • Page 15 This is the only warranty given by AudioControl. This warranty gives you specific legal rights that vary from state to state. Promises of how well the LC6 will perform are not implied by this warranty. Other than what we have covered in this warranty, we have no obligation, express or implied.
