Хигх Волtage Active Line Output Converter with Impedance Matching and Remote Level Control

Model: XLOC88X

1. Увод

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. Подешавање и инсталација

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.

5.2 Ожичење

Пре него што направите било какве везе, искључите негативни терминал акумулатора возила.

  1. Напајање и уземљење:
    • Повежите ГНД terminal to a clean, solid chassis ground point in the vehicle.
    • Повежите 12В terminal to a constant 12V power source from the vehicle's battery, preferably through a fused connection.
  2. Даљинско укључивање:
    • If using the XLOC88X to turn on an ampлифиер, спојите amplifier's remote input to the РЕМ ОУТ terminal of the XLOC88X.
    • Тхе РЕМ ИН 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. Улази за ниво звучника:
    • 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. РЦА излази:
    • Повежите RCA каблове са CH1/2 to CH7/8 RCA Outputs on the XLOC88X to the corresponding RCA inputs on your aftermarket ampлифиер(и).
  5. Даљинска контрола нивоа:
    • Connect the included remote level control to the РЕМОТЕ port on the XLOC88X. Mount the remote control in an accessible location for the user.

6. Упутство за употребу

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

6.1 Initial Setup and Adjustments

  1. Режим укључивања:
    • Подесите Укључите режим switch based on your vehicle's factory stereo:
    • ДЦ: Detects a DC offset on the speaker outputs when the stereo turns on.
    • АУД: Detects audio signal on the speaker outputs.
    • РЕМ: Uses a traditional 12V remote turn-on signal from the factory stereo (connected to REM IN).
  2. Изолација земље:
    • If you experience noise (e.g., engine whine), adjust the Гроунд Исолатион switch. Start with ГНД, then try ИСО, and finally 200Ω to find the setting that minimizes noise.
  3. Учитај Изаберите:
    • Тхе Лоад Селецт 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, или 20КΩ to match your factory system's requirements.
  4. Режим уноса:
    • Подесите Начин уноса пређите на 8ЦХ if you are using all 8 speaker level inputs. Set to 4ЦХ if you are only using 4 inputs and want to sum them to 8 outputs.
  5. ЛПФ (нископропусни филтер):
    • If connecting to a subwoofer amplifier, you may activate the ЛПФ switch to filter out high frequencies.
  6. појачање:
    • Тхе Боост switch provides a 0dB or 12dB bass boost. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
  7. Подешавање појачања:
    • With the factory stereo volume set to about 75% of maximum, slowly increase the Добитак controls on the XLOC88X until the corresponding Цлип indicator just begins to flash. Then, back off slightly until the clip indicator no longer illuminates. This ensures a clean, undistorted signal to your ampлифиер.
    • Adjust the gain on your aftermarket amplifier(s) according to their respective manuals, using the clean signal from the XLOC88X.
  8. Даљинска контрола нивоа:
    • The remote level control allows for convenient adjustment of the output level from the XLOC88X, typically used for subwoofer level control.

7. Одржавање

The NVX XLOC88X requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-term performance.

  • Чишћење: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the unit. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Провере везе: Периодично проверавајте све спојеве ожичења како бисте били сигурни да су безбедни и да немају корозије.
  • Окружење: Ensure the mounting location remains dry and free from excessive heat or vibration.
