NVX XLOC88X User Manual

1. Introduzzjoni

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.

• Ground Isolation Switch: 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.
• Boost Swiċċ: 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.
• Indikaturi tal-Klip: LEDs that illuminate when the output signal is clipping, indicating distortion.
• Port tal-Kontroll tal-Livell Remot: Connects the included remote level control.
• CH1/2 to CH7/8 RCA Outputs: Low-level audio outputs to connect to aftermarket ampliifikaturi.

5. Setup u Installazzjoni

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 Konnessjonijiet tal-Wiring

Qabel ma tagħmel xi konnessjonijiet, skonnettja t-terminal negattiv tal-batterija tal-vettura.

1. Qawwa u Art:
   • Qabbad il- GND terminal to a clean, solid chassis ground point in the vehicle.
   • Qabbad il- 12V terminal to a constant 12V power source from the vehicle's battery, preferably through a fused connection.
2. Tixgħel mill-bogħod:
   • If using the XLOC88X to turn on an amplifier, qabbad il amplifier's remote input to the REM OUT terminal of the XLOC88X.
   • Il- 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. Inputs tal-Livell tal-Kelliem:
   • 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. Outputs RCA:
   • Qabbad il-kejbils RCA mill- CH1/2 to CH7/8 RCA Outputs on the XLOC88X to the corresponding RCA inputs on your aftermarket amplifier(i).
5. Kontroll mill-bogħod tal-Livell:
   • Connect the included remote level control to the REMOTO port on the XLOC88X. Mount the remote control in an accessible location for the user.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

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

6.1 Setup u Aġġustamenti Inizjali

1. Modalità Ixgħel:
   • Issettja l- Ixgħel il-Modalità 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. Iżolament tal-art:
   • If you experience noise (e.g., engine whine), adjust the Iżolament tal-Art switch. Start with GND, then try ISO, and finally 200Ω to find the setting that minimizes noise.
3. Tagħbija Agħżel:
   • Il- Tagħbija Agħżel 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, jew 20KΩ to match your factory system's requirements.
4. Modalità tad-dħul:
   • Issettja l- Mod ta 'Input jaqilbu għal 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 (Filtru Pass Baxx):
   • If connecting to a subwoofer amplifier, you may activate the LPF switch to filter out high frequencies.
6. Spinta:
   • Il- Spinta switch provides a 0dB or 12dB bass boost. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
7. Aġġustament tal-gwadann:
   • With the factory stereo volume set to about 75% of maximum, slowly increase the Gwadan 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 ampaktar ħaj.
   • Adjust the gain on your aftermarket amplifier(s) according to their respective manuals, using the clean signal from the XLOC88X.
8. Kontroll mill-bogħod tal-Livell:
   • The remote level control allows for convenient adjustment of the output level from the XLOC88X, typically used for subwoofer level control.

7. Manutenzjoni

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

• Tindif: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the unit. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Kontrolli tal-Konnessjoni: Spezzjona perjodikament il-konnessjonijiet tal-wajers kollha biex tiżgura li huma sikuri u ħielsa mill-korrużjoni.
• Ambjent: Ensure the mounting location remains dry and free from excessive heat or vibration.
