AudioControl

INTRODUCTION

Greetings from the rainforest, the home of
AudioControl, the world's leading designer and
manufacturer of high performance signal pro-
cessing for autosound systems. If you are read-
ing this manual, you have most likely made a
decision to maximize the performance of your
factory installed system and wisely purchased
the DQL-8, eight channel line output converter
with digital signal processing. This product is a
unique combination of AudioControl's lengthy
experience in Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
combined with a high-performance speaker-
level line output converter. Additionally the
DQL-8 will also allow you to interface a second-
ary source unit with your system, such as a
portable CD player, satellite radio system or even
a very "rare" product called an iPod.
Now before you start salivating too much just
thinking about the benefits of the DQL-8, take
a few minutes to sit back, grab yourself a cold
(or warm) one, and spend a few minutes reading
through this manual. It contains lots of useful
facts and information (and besides, we spent a
lot of time writing it!)
