Bass Restoration Processor

Owner’s Enjoyment Manual

Greetings from the rainforest dwellers of the Paciﬁc Northwest. We would like to

congratulate you on your purchase of The Epicenter Plus from AudioControl. As the

name suggests this processor is based on AudioControl’s legendary (and patented)

bass restoration circuitry, appropriately named The Epicenter. Whether this is your

ﬁrst AudioControl product, or you are already a ﬁrm believer, the bass restoration

enhancements of The Epicenter Plus will leave you breathless. Extra octaves of deep,

body shivering bass can dramatically increase the enjoyment of your performance

autosound system.

The Epicenter Plus is for audio enthusiasts who want to use their factory-installed

source units so it is equipped with AudioControl’s high-impedance, speaker-level

inputs. Additionally, an auxiliary input allows users of factory-installed radios and

portable audio players (like iPods™) to also appreciate the performance of its bass

restoration circuitry.

We are sure that by now the thought of adding The Epicenter Plus to your perfor-

mance autosound system is probably making you salivate. However, we strongly

encourage you to take a few minutes to sit back, grab a beverage of your choice

and read through this manual. Although many autosound enthusiasts feel reading

an “owner’s manual” is only for novices, this particular manual may save you some

phone calls during the installation process. It also contains lots of useful facts and

information (and besides, we spent a lot of time writing it)!!

Key Features Of The Epicenter Plus

Here are a few key features that you will ﬁnd in The Epicenter Plus:

• Patented Bass Restoration Circuitry

• Speaker-Level Inputs for Integration with Factory Audio Systems

• Auxiliary Input for iPod’s, MP3 players or Satellite radio tuners

• GTO™ Signal Sensing Inputs for Automatic Turn-on

• Bass Maximization Circuitry

• 12 volt trigger output

• Dash mount control

• PFM Subsonic Filter

• Balanced Pre-amp inputs

What all this means is more bass and better bass from your performance audio

system. Enjoy the ride…

Features and Highlights

Patented Bass Restoration Circuitry

The Epicenter Plus contains AudioControl’s patented (#4,698,842) bass

restoration circuit that recreates and injects low frequency information back into

the signal path. What that means in everyday terms is that The Epicenter Plus

will give dramatically more bass impact in your music regardless of whether

your choice of format is compact discs, MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, AU, FKAC,

TTA,WMA or good ol’ tapes. For more on this unique process, see page 8.

Auxiliary Input

Since many car audio enthusiasts are multi-tasking listeners who want to use

secondary sources like iPods, MP3 players, and satellite radios, The Epicenter

Plus provides an auxiliary audio input for these devices. If you use this func-

tion, you will need to use a source that has its own volume control. The Auxilia-

ry input is easily activated by tapping the dash control knob. You will be happy

to know that The Epicenter Plus has a cool blue LED indicator that will light

when the Auxiliary input is activated.

Speaker-Level Inputs

If you are like many people who enjoy the look and features of your factory-

installed source unit but feel your system is lacking in power and bass, we have

good news. The Epicenter Plus has high-impedance speaker-level inputs that al-

low it to accept ampliﬁed signals from all known factory-installed systems (even

Bose) and output a high-quality pre-amp signal via standard RCA connectors.

This will allow you to add better-quality aftermarket ampliﬁers, processors and

speakers while keeping the convenience features of your factory-installed source

unit. Unlike inexpensive speaker-level and line-output converters, The Epicenter

Plus offers the highest sound quality and can handle the full signal strength of a

400-watt per channel ampliﬁer.

GTO™ Signal-Sensing Inputs

Most factory-installed source units lack the features that make it easy to

upgrade with really good-sounding, performance aftermarket products. One

of those key features is a 12-volt trigger that will “turn-on” devices like The

Epicenter Plus and your external ampliﬁers. Therefore, we have equipped the

speaker level inputs of The Epicenter Plus with our unique GTO™ (Great Turn

On) signal-sensing inputs. Once the GTO inputs of The Epicenter Plus detects a

signal, it powers up. When the signal goes away, The Epicenter

Plus will automatically turn off. Optionally, The Epicenter Plus is

also equipped with a standard 12-volt trigger (Remote In) that will

allow you to turn on The Epicenter Plus in the traditional man-

ner when you are using the pre-amp inputs.

12-Volt Output Trigger

Since you will be using an external ampliﬁer(s) and processor in your system,

you will need the ability to “trigger” or turn-on these devices (a romantic dinner

won’t quite work here). The Epicenter Plus has a high-current 12-volt output

(labeled “Remote Out”) that will provide a trigger to these remote devices, when

The Epicenter Plus is powered up. Please note that this output is not to be used

as the main power for these devices.

Dash Mount Control For Source Selection and Bass Restoration

The Epicenter Plus is designed to be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, with

the exception of the radiator or front bumper. It comes with a dash-mountable

control that allows you to enjoy the bass-restoration effects of The Epicenter

Plus without having to leave the driver’s seat. Additionally, by just tapping the

switch, you can select between the main inputs (Pre-amp/speaker level) and the

auxiliary input. The LED turns cool blue when the auxiliary input is engaged.

PFM Subsonic Filter

This unique feature is legendary with many AudioControl fanatics for its

ability to ﬁne tune the bass response of any system. Why waste power on nasty

subsonic information when your Programmable Frequency Match (PFM) ﬁlter

can help you clean things up?

Bass Maximization Circuitry

The Epicenter Plus circuitry has the ability to produce large amounts of deep,

mind shattering bass without damaging your speakers. The Bass Maximization

circuit allows The Epicenter Plus to maximize the bass output of any autosound

audio system while restraining destructive bursts. If your are a speaker, this is a

good thing.

Five Year Warranty

The most important feature of all. Every AudioControl prod-

uct is selﬂessly designed and manufactured by the occupants

of our rainforest factory. We take every effort to

ensure that you will have many years of enjoy-

ment out of The Epicenter Plus. To further

ensure the performance of your new toy, we

highly recommend that you allow your authorized Au-

dioControl dealer to perform the installation. Not only do they have

all the right knowledge and tools, but in the unlikely chance The Epicenter

Plus should fail, we back it with a limited ﬁve year parts and labor warranty.

Should you choose to install it yourself, we will still give you a one year parts

and labor warranty. To activate your warranty, you need to FILL OUT AND

SEND IN YOUR WARRANTY CARD!

We also recommend that you save your invoice or sales slip as proof of

installation and ownership. Not only is it necessary for warranty purposes, but

should The Epicenter Plus turn up missing some day while you are out watching

submarine races, you will ﬁnd insurance companies very unforgiving.
