NVX XLOC88X User Manual

1. Introdución

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.

Controis e conexións:

• 12V, GND, REM IN, REM OUT Terminals: Power input, ground connection, remote turn-on input, and remote turn-on output for amplevantadores.
• CH1+ to CH8- Speaker Level Inputs: Connects to the factory stereo's speaker wires.
• Turn On Mode Switch: Selects how the unit turns on (DC Offset, Audio Detection, or Remote Input).
• Interruptor de illamento de terra: Helps eliminate ground loop noise (GND, ISO, 200Ω).
• Load Select Switches (CH1-CH4, CH5-CH8): Adjusts the impedance load presented to the factory stereo (20Ω, 60Ω, 20KΩ).
• Input Mode Switch: Selects between 8-channel or 4-channel input configuration.
• LPF Switch (Low Pass Filter): Activates or deactivates a low-pass filter.
• Interruptor de aumento: Provides a bass boost (0dB or 12dB).
• Gain Controls (CH1/2, CH3/4, CH5/6, CH7/8): Adjusts the output level for each pair of RCA channels.
• Indicadores de clip: LEDs that illuminate when the output signal is clipping, indicating distortion.
• Porto de control de nivel remoto: Connects the included remote level control.
• CH1/2 to CH7/8 RCA Outputs: Low-level audio outputs to connect to aftermarket amplevantadores.

5. Configuración e instalación

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 Conexións de cableado

Antes de facer calquera conexión, desconecte o terminal negativo da batería do vehículo.

1. Enerxía e terra:
   • Conecta o GND terminal to a clean, solid chassis ground point in the vehicle.
   • Conecta o 12 V terminal to a constant 12V power source from the vehicle's battery, preferably through a fused connection.
2. Encendido remoto:
   • If using the XLOC88X to turn on an amplifier, conectar o amplifier's remote input to the REM OUT terminal of the XLOC88X.
   • O 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. Entradas de nivel de altofalante:
   • 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. Saídas RCA:
   • Connect RCA cables from the CH1/2 to CH7/8 RCA Outputs on the XLOC88X to the corresponding RCA inputs on your aftermarket amplificador(s).
5. Control remoto de nivel:
   • Conecte o control de nivel remoto incluído ao MANDO A DISTANCIA port on the XLOC88X. Mount the remote control in an accessible location for the user.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento

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

6.1 Configuración e axustes iniciais

1. Activar o modo:
   • Establece o Activa o modo 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. Illamento do solo:
   • If you experience noise (e.g., engine whine), adjust the Illamento do solo switch. Start with GND, then try ISO, and finally 200Ω to find the setting that minimizes noise.
3. Seleccionar carga:
   • O Cargar Seleccionar 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, ou 20 KΩ to match your factory system's requirements.
4. Modo de entrada:
   • Establece o Modo de entrada cambiar a 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. LPF (filtro paso baixo):
   • If connecting to a subwoofer amplifier, you may activate the LPF switch to filter out high frequencies.
6. Impulso:
   • O Impulso switch provides a 0dB or 12dB bass boost. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
7. Axuste de ganancia:
   • With the factory stereo volume set to about 75% of maximum, slowly increase the Ganancia controls on the XLOC88X until the corresponding Clip indicator just begins to flash. Then, back off slightly until the clip indicator no longer illuminates. This ensures a clean, undistorted signal to your ampmáis vivo.
   • Adjust the gain on your aftermarket amplifier(s) according to their respective manuals, using the clean signal from the XLOC88X.
8. Control remoto de nivel:
   • The remote level control allows for convenient adjustment of the output level from the XLOC88X, typically used for subwoofer level control.

7. Mantemento

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

• Limpeza: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the unit. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Comprobacións de conexión: Inspeccione periodicamente todas as conexións do cableado para garantir que estean seguras e libres de corrosión.
• Ambiente: Ensure the mounting location remains dry and free from excessive heat or vibration.
