JL AUDIO LoC-22 | 2-Channel High-to-Low Line Output Converter

1. پیژندنه

1.1 محصول پای ته ورسیدview

The JL AUDIO LoC-22 is a 2-channel line output converter designed to integrate aftermarket amplifiers with factory car audio systems that lack RCA pre-amp outputs. It efficiently converts high-level (speaker-level) audio signals from a factory head unit or amplifier into low-level (RCA pre-amp level) signals, making them compatible with aftermarket amplifiers. This device is essential for upgrading your car's audio system while retaining the original head unit.

Figure 4.1: JL AUDIO LoC-22 Angled View

This image provides an overall angled view of the LoC-22 unit, highlighting its compact size and the general layout of its inputs, outputs, and controls. The black metal casing is visible, along with mounting tabs on the sides.

Figure 4.2: JL AUDIO LoC-22 Top View

دا پورته څخه ښکته view clearly shows the main labels and controls on the unit's surface. Key indicators include 'Input Load', 'Clipping' LED, 'Output Level' potentiometer, 'Line Outputs' (RCA jacks), and the 'Turn-on Mode' switch. The JL Audio logo and 'LoC-22 Line Output Converter' text are also prominent.

Figure 4.3: JL AUDIO LoC-22 Input Side View

This image details one side of the LoC-22, specifically showing the multi-pin terminal block for speaker-level inputs (L+, L-, R+, R-). Below the input terminal, the 'Input Load' switch is visible, offering 'Low Z (60 Ω)' and 'Normal (20 kΩ)' settings for impedance matching.

Figure 4.4: JL AUDIO LoC-22 Output Side View

دا view displays the opposite side of the LoC-22. It features the power connector terminal block (+12V, Ground, Remote Out), the two RCA 'Line Outputs' (Left and Right), and the 'Turn-on Mode' switch, which can be set to 'DC Offset' or 'Signal' for automatic turn-on functionality.

5. ترتیب او نصب کول

5.1 پورته کول

• Choose a secure, dry location within the vehicle, away from direct heat sources or moving parts.
• د واحد شاوخوا مناسب هوا ورکول ډاډمن کړئ.
• Use appropriate screws to mount the LoC-22 to a solid surface using its integrated mounting tabs.

5.2 د تارونو نښلول

د هر ډول نښلولو دمخه، ډاډ ترلاسه کړئ چې د موټر د بیټرۍ منفي ټرمینل منقطع شوی دی.

1. د بریښنا پیوستون: Connect the +12V terminal of the LoC-22 to a constant +12V power source (e.g., directly to the battery with an inline fuse, or a fused accessory wire). Connect the Ground terminal to a solid chassis ground point.
2. د سپیکر په کچه معلومات: Connect the speaker output wires from your factory head unit or amplifier to the LoC-22's speaker input terminal block (L+, L-, R+, R-). Ensure correct polarity.
3. د RCA لاین محصولات: Connect standard RCA cables from the LoC-22's 'Line Outputs' to the RCA inputs of your aftermarket ampلايف
4. Remote Turn-On Output: Connect the 'Remote Out' terminal of the LoC-22 to the remote turn-on input of your aftermarket amplifier. This will turn on the amplifier when the LoC-22 detects an audio signal or DC offset, depending on the selected turn-on mode.

6. عملیاتي لارښوونې

6.1 Turn-on Mode Selection

The LoC-22 offers two methods for automatic turn-on:

• د DC آفسیټ: Select this mode if your factory head unit or amplifier produces a DC offset on its speaker outputs when turned on. This is the most common and reliable method for many modern factory systems.
• سیګنال: Select this mode if your factory head unit or amplifier does not produce a DC offset, but instead provides an audio signal when turned on. The LoC-22 will detect the presence of an audio signal to generate the remote turn-on output.

Set the 'Turn-on Mode' switch on the unit to the appropriate setting based on your vehicle's factory system.

6.2 Input Load Selection

The 'Input Load' switch allows you to optimize the LoC-22's input impedance for compatibility with various factory audio systems:

• Normal (20 kΩ): This is the standard setting and should work with most factory systems.
• Low Z (60 Ω): Some factory systems, particularly those with advanced diagnostic features, may require a lower impedance load to prevent them from detecting an open circuit and shutting down the audio output. If you experience audio cut-outs or errors, try this setting.

Set the 'Input Load' switch on the unit to the appropriate setting. Start with 'Normal' and switch to 'Low Z' if issues arise.

۶.۱ د محصول کچه تنظیمول

The 'Output Level' potentiometer allows you to match the output voltage of the LoC-22 to the input sensitivity of your aftermarket amplifier. This ensures optimal signal transfer and prevents clipping.

1. Turn the 'Output Level' control fully counter-clockwise (minimum).
2. Turn on your car's audio system and play a dynamic piece of music at about 75% of the head unit's maximum volume.
3. Slowly turn the 'Output Level' control clockwise until the 'Clipping' LED on the LoC-22 just begins to flicker. Then, back off slightly until the LED remains off.
4. Adjust the gain controls on your aftermarket amplifier according to its manufacturer's instructions, ensuring no clipping occurs at the ampژوندی stage.

7. ساتنه

The JL AUDIO LoC-22 is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance.

• Keep the unit clean and free of dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• سخت کیمیاوي توکي او کثافات پاکونکي مه کاروئ.
• په دوره یي ډول د ټولو تارونو اتصالونه وګورئ ترڅو ډاډ ترلاسه شي چې دوی خوندي او له زنګ څخه پاک دي.
