RECOIL LOCD Active 2-Channel Line Output Converter & Driver Instruction Manual

Zavedení

The RECOIL LOCD is a versatile 2-channel line output converter and line driver designed for seamless integration of aftermarket amplifiers into factory car audio systems. This unit converts high-level speaker signals to low-level RCA outputs, providing a clean 10V pre-amp output. It features an intelligent signal sensing turn-on circuit, eliminating the need for a separate remote lead, and includes adjustable gain controls with clipping LEDs for precise signal matching. Its ultra-low impedance design minimizes noise interference, ensuring high-fidelity audio.

Nastavení

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Ensure the vehicle's battery is disconnected before beginning installation.

1. Mounting the LOCD Unit

Choose a secure, dry location for mounting the LOCD unit, away from excessive heat or moisture. Use the provided mounting screws to secure the unit.

2. Připojení napájení a uzemnění

• GND (zem): Connect to a solid chassis ground point in the vehicle. Ensure a clean, paint-free metal surface for the best connection.
• +12V (Napájení): Connect to a constant +12V power source. This should be fused appropriately (not included).
• Vzdálený vstup: This input is optional. If your factory radio provides a remote turn-on lead, connect it here. If not, the LOCD's auto-sense feature will manage the turn-on.
• Vzdálený výstup: Connect this output to the remote turn-on input of your aftermarket amplifier(s). The LOCD will provide a turn-on signal to the amplifier when it detects audio input.

3. Vstupní připojení

The LOCD supports both high-level (speaker) and low-level (RCA) inputs. Use the 'Input Choose' switch to select the appropriate input type.

• Vstup reproduktoru: If using high-level inputs, connect the factory speaker wires (Left +, Left -, Right +, Right -, Common) to the removable terminal block labeled 'Speaker Input'. Ensure correct polarity.
• RCA vstup: If using low-level RCA inputs, connect your source unit's RCA outputs to the 'RCA Input' jacks.

4. Výstupní připojení

Connect the 'Line Output' RCA jacks to the RCA inputs of your aftermarket ampživější.

5. Nastavení zisku

The LOCD features adjustable gain controls and clipping LEDs. These are crucial for matching the output level of the LOCD to the input sensitivity of your amplifier without introducing distortion.

Before adjusting, ensure your amplifier's gain is set to its minimum. Play a test tone (e.g., 0dB, 1kHz sine wave) at about 75% of your head unit's maximum volume. Slowly increase the LOCD's gain until the 'Maximum Gain' (clipping) LED just begins to flicker. Then, back off slightly until the LED remains off. This sets the LOCD for maximum clean output. Finally, adjust your amplifier's gain to achieve the desired volume.

Once installed and configured, the RECOIL LOCD operates automatically. When the head unit is turned on and audio signal is present, the LOCD will detect the signal and provide a remote turn-on signal to your connected amplifier(s). The 'Power' LED on the unit will illuminate to indicate it is active.

The auto-sense feature ensures that your amplifier turns on and off with your factory radio, preventing battery drain and simplifying system operation.

Údržba

The RECOIL LOCD is designed for reliable, maintenance-free operation. To ensure longevity and consistent performance:

• Udržujte jednotku čistou a bez prachu a nečistot. K čištění používejte měkký, suchý hadřík.
• Pravidelně kontrolujte všechna kabelová připojení, abyste se ujistili, že jsou bezpečná a bez koroze.
• Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or direct moisture.

Odstraňování problémů

If you encounter issues with your RECOIL LOCD, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Žádný zvukový výstup

• Zkontrolujte napájení: Ensure the +12V and GND connections are secure and receiving power. The 'Power' LED should be illuminated.
• Výběr vstupu: Verify the 'Input Choose' switch is set correctly for either RCA or Speaker input.
• Vstupní signál: Confirm that the head unit is providing an audio signal to the LOCD.
• Výstupní připojení: Check RCA connections from the LOCD to the ampživější.
• AmpStav záchranáře: Zajistěte amplifier je zapnutý a funguje správně.

Zkreslený zvuk

• Úprava zisku: Re-adjust the LOCD's gain using the clipping LED as a guide. Ensure the LED does not stay illuminated, indicating signal clipping.
• AmpZisk lifikátoru: Zkontrolujte amplifier's gain setting. It should be adjusted after the LOCD's gain is set.
• Zdrojový svazek: Avoid setting the head unit volume to maximum, as this can introduce distortion before the LOCD.
• Zapojení: Inspect speaker input wiring for correct polarity and secure connections.

AmpŽivotní stylus se nezapíná

• Vzdálený výstup: Ensure the 'Remote Out' from the LOCD is connected to the ampvstup pro dálkové zapnutí zařízení Liferier.
• Auto-Sense: If not using 'Remote In', verify that the LOCD is receiving an audio signal from the head unit to trigger its auto-sense turn-on.
• LED napájení: Confirm the LOCD's 'Power' LED is on when the head unit is active.
