JCPower LC44i: Integrate and Enhance Your Factory Audio

The JCPower LC44i Line Output Converter (High Low Converter) is designed to bridge the gap between your factory head unit and aftermarket amplifiers. This 2-channel active converter allows you to upgrade your car’s audio system without replacing the factory radio, providing a clean, high-quality signal for your amplifiers.

Correcting Bass Roll-Off: Restoring Lost Dynamics

A common issue with factory car audio systems is “bass roll-off.” This phenomenon occurs when the factory head unit intentionally reduces the amount of bass output as the volume increases. Manufacturers implement this to protect the often-fragile factory speakers from excessive low-frequency signals at higher volumes, which could lead to damage. The LC44i effectively reverses this effect, ensuring that bass remains consistent and dynamic across all volume levels. This results in a punchier, more lively sound, especially when paired with aftermarket speakers and amplifiers that can handle the increased bass output.

Seamless Factory Integration and Versatile Trigger Modes

The LC44i converts speaker-level (or High-level) signals from your factory head unit into preamp-level (or low-level) RCA outputs, making it easy to connect aftermarket amplifiers. This eliminates the need for complex wiring or modifications to your factory system, preserving its original functionality while significantly upgrading your audio quality.

It also offers multiple trigger modes for seamless integration with your vehicle’s electrical system. These include:

• Remote In: Allows for traditional remote turn-on using a 12V signal from your head unit or another source, providing standard remote activation.
• DC On: Utilizes DC offset detection. The LC44i automatically powers up, along with any connected amplifiers, when it detects a DC voltage on the speaker-level input. This eliminates the need for a separate remote wire, simplifying installation, especially in vehicles with factory amplifiers that output DC offset.
• Audio Sensing: The converter also automatically turns on when it detects the presence of an audio signal (AC voltage) from the factory head unit, providing an alternative trigger mode for systems without DC offset.

These versatile trigger modes ensure compatibility with a wide range of vehicle setups, simplifying installation and ensuring reliable operation.

Adjustable Bass Output and Level Control

The LC44i features separate main and bass level controls, offering granular control over your audio output. The main level control adjusts the overall signal sent to your amplifiers, while the bass level control specifically adjusts the subwoofer output. This separation allows you to fine-tune the balance between your main speakers and subwoofer, ensuring optimal sound quality and preventing any overpowering of one frequency range over another. Also included is a remote for adjusting the bass level, allowing you to control the subwoofer’s output from the driver’s seat.

Simplified Amplifier Installation: Built-In Resistance for Easy Setup

With its built-in selectable resistance levels, the LC44i significantly simplifies the installation of aftermarket amplifiers. Without this feature, you would need to purchase and install external resistors specific to your car’s audio system. These external resistors would need to be carefully matched to your vehicle’s factory amplifier output to avoid distortion or damage. This processor also eliminates this hassle by providing adjustable resistance directly within the unit, ensuring a smooth and compatible connection with your factory system.

High-Quality Signal Conversion

The LC44i is engineered to deliver a clean, noise-free signal to your amplifiers. This high-quality signal conversion minimizes distortion and ensures that your amplifiers receive the best possible input, resulting in superior sound quality.
