הויך חלקtage Active Line Output Converter with Impedance Matching and Remote Level Control

Model: XLOC88X

1. הקדמה

The NVX XLOC88X is an 8-channel high voltage active line output converter designed to integrate aftermarket amplifiers with factory car stereo systems. This device converts high-level speaker outputs from a factory head unit into low-level RCA signals, suitable for aftermarket amplifiers. It features impedance matching, noise isolation technology, and enhanced output controls to maintain audio quality and provide a clean signal to your amplifier. The XLOC88X allows for system upgrades without replacing the factory stereo, preserving original vehicle features such as large touchscreens, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

5. סעטאַפּ און ייַנמאָנטירונג

Careful planning and execution are essential for optimal performance and safety.

5.1 Mounting the XLOC88X

  • Choose a secure, dry location away from direct heat or moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation.
  • Use the provided mounting screws to secure the unit.

איידער איר מאַכט קיין קאַנעקשאַנז, דיסקאַנעקט די נעגאַטיוו באַטעריע וואָקזאַל פון די פאָרמיטל.

  1. מאַכט און ערד:
    • פאַרבינדן די GND terminal to a clean, solid chassis ground point in the vehicle.
    • פאַרבינדן די 12V terminal to a constant 12V power source from the vehicle's battery, preferably through a fused connection.
  2. רימאָוט ווענדן:
    • If using the XLOC88X to turn on an ampליפיער, פאַרבינדן די amplifier's remote input to the REM OUT terminal of the XLOC88X.
    • די REM IN terminal is optional. If your factory stereo has a remote output, connect it here. Otherwise, the XLOC88X can generate a remote output based on DC offset or audio detection.
  3. רעדנער מדרגה ינפּוץ:
    • Carefully identify the positive (+) and negative (-) speaker wires from your factory stereo for each channel you intend to use (up to 8 channels).
    • Connect these wires to the corresponding CH1+ to CH8- terminals on the XLOC88X. Ensure correct polarity.
  4. RCA אַוטפּוץ:
    • פֿאַרבינדט RCA קייבלען פֿון די CH1/2 to CH7/8 RCA Outputs on the XLOC88X to the corresponding RCA inputs on your aftermarket ampליפיער (ס).
  5. ווייַט מדרגה קאָנטראָל:
    • Connect the included remote level control to the ווייַט port on the XLOC88X. Mount the remote control in an accessible location for the user.

Once installed, configure the XLOC88X settings for optimal audio performance.

6.1 ערשטע אויפשטעל און אַדזשאַסטמאַנץ

  1. קער אויף מאָדע:
    • שטעלן די קער אויף מאָדע switch based on your vehicle's factory stereo:
    • DC: Detects a DC offset on the speaker outputs when the stereo turns on.
    • AUD: Detects audio signal on the speaker outputs.
    • REM: Uses a traditional 12V remote turn-on signal from the factory stereo (connected to REM IN).
  2. ערד אפגעזונדערטקייט:
    • If you experience noise (e.g., engine whine), adjust the ערד אפגעזונדערטקייט switch. Start with GND, then try יסאָ, און צום סוף 200Ω to find the setting that minimizes noise.
  3. לאָדן אויסקלייַבן:
    • די לאָדן אויסקלייַבן switches (for CH1-CH4 and CH5-CH8) adjust the impedance presented to the factory stereo. This can prevent the factory stereo from detecting an open circuit and shutting off or reducing output. Experiment with 20Ω, 60Ω, אָדער 20KΩ to match your factory system's requirements.
  4. אַרייַנשרייַב מאָדע:
    • שטעלן די אַרייַנשרייַב מאָדע באַשטימען צו 8CH if you are using all 8 speaker level inputs. Set to 4CH if you are only using 4 inputs and want to sum them to 8 outputs.
  5. לפּף (נידעריק פּאַס פילטער):
    • If connecting to a subwoofer amplifier, you may activate the LPF switch to filter out high frequencies.
  6. בוסט:
    • די בוסט switch provides a 0dB or 12dB bass boost. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
  7. געווינס אַדזשאַסטמאַנט:
    • With the factory stereo volume set to about 75% of maximum, slowly increase the געווינען controls on the XLOC88X until the corresponding קליפ indicator just begins to flash. Then, back off slightly until the clip indicator no longer illuminates. This ensures a clean, undistorted signal to your ampליפער.
    • Adjust the gain on your aftermarket amplifier(s) according to their respective manuals, using the clean signal from the XLOC88X.
  8. ווייַט מדרגה קאָנטראָל:
    • The remote level control allows for convenient adjustment of the output level from the XLOC88X, typically used for subwoofer level control.

7. וישאַלט
