Summary of Contents for AudioControl OVERDRIVE PLUS
- Page 1 In addi- tion, your new OVERDRIVE PLUS provides you with an input to accept an optional dash mounted remote level control. The OVERDRIVE PLUS can now be both a line driver and a remote volume/bass control.
- Page 2 Features High-Voltage Line Driver The OVERDRIVE PLUS is a line driver that takes the input voltage of a high performance source unit and increases it (up to 13 volts peak). It then delivers this punched up signal to the amplifier for more lifelike sound with less noise, less distortion and more dynamic range.
- Page 3 Keep in mind that if you or your friends are “good with electronics” and you choose to install it yourselves, your OVERDRIVE PLUS still has a 1 year parts and labor warranty. To activate your warranty, simply go on-line to www.audiocon- trol.com.
- Page 4 If your head unit’s maximum output is only 500mV, the OVERDRIVE PLUS will be able to squirt out 8 volts RMS into the rest of your system. Even if your head unit’s output is as little as 250mV, you can still get 4 volts RMS out of the OVERDRIVE PLUS Line Driver.
- Page 5 1 volt light to flicker, more if the rest of your compo- nents can handle it. Any AudioControl component that you connect after the OVERDRIVE PLUS won’t mind the 8 volt RMS light flickering. Go ahead. Light it up! 6) Remote Level Control (sold separately): The port allows you to plug an optional dash mounted remote level control.
- Page 6 7) Power Connector: This convenient little connector allows you to hook up all the power and turn-on wires for your OVERDRIVE PLUS Line Driver in the convenience of a well-lighted area and then plug them in by feel all at once in your trunk’s cavernous darkness. Screws on top of the connector should face up.
- Page 7 2 volts before they clip. AudioControl signal processors can all put out at least 7.5 volts RMS, and can take in 9 volts RMS. LED voltage indicators on many of our products make it a snap to set levels! Want to learn more about level setting? Check out the video in the support section of the Mobile Audio pages at www.

- Page 10 Dash Control (Purchased 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.
- Page 11 Installation Precautions/Hints Do not mount the OVERDRIVE PLUS Line Driver where it will be ex- posed to outside elements or extreme temperatures. Avoid areas of severe vibration or shock, and never drill into a car panel without knowing what’s behind the panel. Think safety at all times.
- Page 12 Blatant Plug The OVERDRIVE PLUS Line Driver is part of the AudioControl Performance Match Series of products. The Performance Match products will extract killer performance from your car stereo system. There are real world barriers to good autosound such as the fact that doors and trunks rarely make good speaker boxes.
- Page 13 If you honor these conditions, we will warrant all materials and workmanship on your OVERDRIVE PLUS for five years from the date you bought it, if installed by an authorized AudioControl dealer, and will fix or replace it, at our op- tion, during that time.
- Page 14 4. You cannot let anybody who isn’t (A) the AudioControl factory; (B) somebody authorized in writing by AudioControl to service your OVERDRIVE PLUS . If anyone other than (A) or (B) messes with your OVERDRIVE PLUS , that voids your warranty.
