## Overview

The AudioControl LC1i is a professional-grade 2-channel active line driver and output converter designed to boost and optimize factory car stereo signals for aftermarket amplifiers. It supports high-voltage speaker-level inputs up to 40V, features adjustable load resistance to ensure compatibility with OEM systems, and offers multiple auto turn-on modes for easy installation. Compact and reliable, the LC1i delivers distortion-free audio with up to 9.5 Vrms output, making it the perfect upgrade for millennial professionals seeking premium in-car sound without replacing their head unit.

## Description

The LC1i joins ranks with AudioControl’s most popular active line output converter, the LC2i. Adding a sub? Planning a full system? Either way, get the best possible signal from your factory sound system to your amplifiers. Load selection switches mean OEM integration has never been easier and the LC1 will work with the most finicky factory sound systems. Installer friendly turn on trigger modes allow for flexibility via GTO Signal Sense (DC offset), audio sense, or remote 12 volt inputs. For future head unit upgrades, the LC1i is also a line driver and can remain in the system to provide optimal preamp signal.

Review: Get this if you have an desertcart stereo and want to add an amp/sub! - I’ve got an Android stereo in my 2015 Jeep Compass. It’s great in every way except the RCA outputs for L/R and sub have low voltage. This unit boosts the signal so you can set the gain without cranking it. The signal is nice and clean, and it’s easy to install this unit behind the Android stereo somewhere because it’s small. I love this little thing and for $50 you can’t beat the price and quality. Frequency response is 20hz to 50khz, so it’s fine for my uses. Just make sure to set the switches and settings right. Don’t max out the output knob, keep it at 90% or lower and adjust the amp gain accordingly. It’s always best to have a little headroom in every component for the cleanest signal.
Review: BOOST FACTORY RADIO OUTPUT!! - What else can we say besides IT WORKS! I used it to replace a passive line converter. This allows me to send a significantly stronger signal to the amp. Set it and forget it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work on a 2019 Toyota Camry**
A: This LOC will work on any 12v speaker level in system.  The only systems to do more research on are amplified systems from the factory.  EG Bose.  In most of those applications you need to get your source wires after the amp (output).

**Q: Does the gain knob adjust output voltage? I need to boost line voltage to 3v and can't find a line driver with output that low.**
A: The level adjustment on the top side of the LC1i adjusts the RCA output level/voltage. If you are looking for a similar unit with an included remote level adjustment knob, consider the LC2i Pro.

**Q: I have a denon pma1600ne with no pre-out and i have an active subwoofer. could i use this device to redirect speaker b signal to line in on sub?**
A: This is for car audio. It wouldnt work for home audio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended, exactly what I needed.
*by A***4 on October 29, 2025*

Excellent quality, clear , powerful bass without distortion, worthy every penny, easy to install, the device practically comes “adjusted” from factory however I recommend that you set the output level knob to the minimum before you tune your amplifier to your own taste.
