AudioControl Announces new EPIC-160 Processor

Mountlake Terrace, WA--AudioControl, announces the release of their new EPIC-160 in-dash processor. This unique product utilizes the patented bass restoration technology of The Epicenter plus a new and improved 160-dB capable microphone and SPL display. In addition, the new EPIC-160 will sell for less than its legendary predecessor, the EPIC-150.



"Over the years many AudioControl customers have bragged about how The Epicenter technology has increased their systems SPL”, proclaimed Chris Kane, national sales manager of AudioControl. “The new EPIC-160 lets a customer not only increase their systems bass performance, which subsequently increases the SPL, it also allows the customer to actually see how loud their system is. How cool is that!”

The EPIC-160 uses The Epicenter’s patented bass restoration circuitry, which actually adds lower octaves of bass to any performance auto sound system. In addition, the EPIC-160 includes AudioControl’s Para-Bass equalization, which allows the user to fine-tune the bass response to their specific vehicle. The net result is more bass…louder.

In addition to allowing users to maximize their bass response, the new EPIC-160 offers a specially designed microphone mounted on the front panel that can measure up to 160 dB. The SPL is then shown on an LED display on the front panel of the EPIC-160. Optionally, users of the EPIC-160 may select to see their SPL measurement constantly updating or in a peak hold mode. The display also will show the systems power voltage with 1/10th volt resolution.

The EPIC-160 is housed in a convenient ½ DIN sized chassis with all of the user controls and microphone mounted on the front panel. Like most AudioControl products, the EPIC-160 provides speaker level inputs and the ability to output signal levels as high as 13-volts.
