AudioControl The Epicenter® Micro

Bass restoration processor and line output converter

Add bass to your aftermarket system's high-level source

Most factory radios dial down deep, low-hitting bass notes to protect flimsy factory speakers. The Epicenter Micro from AudioControl takes amplified speaker-level signals, converts them into the high-quality preamp signals your sub amp needs, and then adds the bass that's missing. Even when listening to traditionally bass-weak classical, jazz, folk, or Tejano music, you'll finally be able to hear all the good bass you've been missing.

How does it do it?

Sophisticated processing analyzes the incoming signal and synthesizes low-bass fundamental tones, increasing bass response tremendously. A single band ParaBASS® equalizer lets you fine-tune your subwoofer's tone. A selectable subsonic filter removes extreme low frequencies so your amps and subs will play more efficiently. The Epicenter Micro will also connect to any receiver with preamp outputs — its balanced inputs will reject noise from your car's electrical system for ultra-clean output.

Installation conveniences

The included ACR-4 dash-mount wired remote control allows you to adjust the level of your sub channel on the go. Load selection switches make OEM factory system integration easier, so The Epicenter Micro will work with almost any vehicle's sound system. Selectable turn-on modes include GTO™ Signal Sense (DC offset), audio sigal , or remote 12-volt input.
