AudioControl LC8i

The LC8i is a highly flexible eight-channel signal processor with active input circuitry that accepts speaker-level inputs, of up to 400 watts per channel, from factory-installed source units or amplifiers. It converts them to high-quality pre-amp signals that can then be directed to aftermarket processors and/or amplifiers. This means users will enjoy maximum sound quality while maintaining the use of factory volume and steering wheel controls.

Designed for maximum flexibility, the LC8i is equipped with an auxiliary input that allows the simple addition of secondary source units like iPods and satellite radio tuners. By tapping the dash control knob, a user can switch back and forth between the main speaker-level inputs and the auxiliary input. Additionally, the multi-function dash knob provides both volume control of the Auxiliary input and level adjustments for the subwoofer output.

Excellent product

Added this to my “stock” unit. My can didn’t come with an auxiliary input, and I wanted to add a full system into my car so this was my preferred option. Allows me to appear stock to mosey eyes but upgrade everything else. Works fantastic.

Complete Audio Control

Bought this along with an LCi2Pro for a new project on the wife’s 2018 Infiniti QX30 with the Bose 10 speaker system. Pairing this with a plug n play bypass harness from OWC upgrades that will let me bypass the Bose amp. Adding the LC’s so I can clean up the scrambled Bose frequencies and then attach some Audio Control amps to power 4 Focal flax 6.5 coaxials in the doors, kicker 2.5 mids for the front center and rear pillars, JBl club 194t tweeters and a Memphis Audio MJP1044 10” sub. Have heard nothing but great things regarding the LCi’s, so I’m looking forward to it.
