AudioControl is the number #1 car audio company that stays ahead of the game than any other car audio manufactures. Keep up the good work AudioControl.

Love the epicenter, have had them since the 80's. I'm old.

Their highest is 1500 RMS and it’s okaaaay bass-wise. SQ for sure though and the footprint is a plus.

So great to see these guys continue innovating more products!!!

It really works well, the only wish I have maybe is instead of just having sweep on dial, I wish it would show the frequency range like on an amplifier.

I've had a very good relationship with AC since high school and for reasons just like this! Thanks a ton AC!

I’m geeking out…. Can’t wait!!

You know that you're talking with a GREAT Rep. when he's almost giddy talking about the brand/products. LOL, Dean has a "Fernando" and a "Fernando Micro" in his line-up. Good young fella you have, Fernando!

Nice job guys

I wanna buy that micro epicenter 😍😍

Awesome what a great company, made in America with local support to boot. Keep innovating AC.

I need that ACR4!!! I was just looking for one for my new system. Nice!!!!!

That knob, I was trying to figure out how to mount 2 different ones and was frustrated..this is awesome.

Epicenter is legendary status nothing else compares. The old school Phoenix Gold Bass Cube and MTX LSB1 are badass in their own way, but nothing what an epicenter does.

Awesome. Can't wait for the acr4

Absolutely love the subwoofer tattoo!!!!!

That thing is even smaller than the LC2i in my Mercedes. Thats awesome. I'm not a fan of the signal sense remote turn on tho. Every time I locked my doors, my amp would turn on. So I stuck to the old school remote wire lol.

Love the rf sub tattoo

As I watch the video is see 2 things that definitely would improve this unit and make it worth the cost over other LOCs with Bass enhancement. 1) is Tiffany RCAs. 2) is clipping input and output lights.

that 0-100 bass knob is the whole reason i got a epicenter in the first place haha

ACR.U is so simple, yet hasn’t ever existed. Would have never thought about it

I still have an old Epicenter that I'm using - since the 90s'. Just doing a new install in a new car and was even going to disassemble and re-paint my rough looking Epicenter to not clash so much with my brand new install... But now I see I really need to get an Epicenter Mini to replace it. Can't wait.

10:00 if it saved on space then we wouldn't need both Epicenter and this Epicenter micro. I recall him saying this is not to replace your Epicenter but adds to it. AudioControl should have created a new micro Epicenter as they did with LC7i » LC2i Pro, LC1i, etc.

Smaller footprint, =awesomeness 😎

Even if you mount the universal level control back by the amp. You will have to run an RCA and the CAT5 from up front. You have to have an input.

@MrMattyXb

2 жыл бұрын

The point is that no matter what, the ACR-U will be cleaner, easier to install, and higher quality than a traditional universal level controller. If the system is already installed, you could easily use a 1’ rca from the ACR hideaway module to the amp, and then just plug in the existing RCA’s that were going to the amp into the input side of the ACR-U. Now all you have to do is run a CAT5 up to the dashboard.

Anyone else get 4 mins in and look at the bottom right corner and go WHAT ARE THOSE?!?! Lol

Very interesting the size of the new Epicenter. Just wish they'd make something similar to what the PG BassCube was/is. About the ACR, they need to come back out with the MVC.

Does it require a full range signal like the older Epicenter models? Never used my Epicenter do to that. I wanted it inline between my dsp and sub amp.

When do you recommend using this IE application set up??

so is there a way to shut off/ bypass during hip hop. and use the knob as bass knob to the amp. epi works great with rock/mex/oldies but with hip hop it sounds muddy.

Where is the ACR-U? They need to get this released. It’s not even on their website yet. Come on AC- we need this

As an add-on for an existing aftermarket amplified system, wouldn’t it be easier to mount the level controller behind the radio? Because if you mount it back by the amp, you still have to pop open panels to run cat5/6

@RAW_Reality

2 жыл бұрын

You're not wrong, though I suppose it's a matter of where you want the level controller placed at (as it could be placed anywhere along the RCA runs back from the HU to the amp, assuming the lengths were accomodating). So, if say your system used 20' of RCAs, in theory you could run the first 10' through the panels to around your seat, add the ACR-U module under the seat there, then run the remaining 10' back to the amp, and the only CAT cable you'd need would be from under your seat to wherever you wanted to mount the knob... _Maybe_ 3'... But since most RCA runs are already going to be ran (let-alone be ran with two 10' segments already), the term "easier" referring to which way it's ran from depends on which would be easier for _you;_ opening up your dash to mount the install near the HU or just running it back up from the amp.

@MrMattyXb

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, you could put the hideaway portion of the acr-u anywhere in the signal chain. Up near the source unit, back by the amps, doesn’t matter. Short run of cat5, long run of cat5, either way it all works. Totally depends on the system.

If your amplifier is capable of having a direct volume knob, then you are absolutely correct. However, there are plenty of amplifiers out there that do not have the ability to have a knob plugged directly into them. Or, maybe you have an amplifier that is a few years old, and you no longer have the knob for it or one is no longer available for it. That’s really where the ACR-u comes into play.
