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

that would only tell you if your headunit is clipping. Not the amp. So kinda useless

@@devnull182 it's super important to know when a headunit clips, that's almost the number one thing.

So just to confirm, if I use epicenter micro I don't need lc2i pro?

ehat did u emd up doing

Thank you!

Eastern Shore in the house! 🤙🏻

Yes! It is perfect for tablet and smartphone as head unit installs. Works great in all of our testing.

@@MrMattyXb I'm stoked!!!

Wanna sell the old one?

Haha, thank you!

@@MrMattyXb hey Matt when it be on sale"

@@tcisneros79 later this summer/early fall

@@MrMattyXb thank you Matt !

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.

$250

I have a bass cube. Just set the dial on what frequency you want boosted and adjust the knob

@@easylooker I used to have one too, but the Epicenter doesn't work that way.

After.

You could incorporate the ACR-U into your setup, if that’s what you mean.

???

its a episenter as well

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.

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.

@@MrMattyXb Thanks Matt! Awesome Tats!

I was just thinking the exact same thing

Yeah, one is overall volume, and one is bass volume.

It does! One for the epicenter and the other is the bass knob that eliminates your amplifier bass knob, from what I understood by Dean.

@@anthonybrown6143 yes I am just saying I wonder if it will be used on other products down the line. Such as their dsp.

@@alaskadroneshots1057 hope so to bro, considering those dsp's arnt cheap i got the 810 my self

I can’t get too specific, but there are plans to use the ACR-4 with other products in the future.

Do you want to sell the epicenter 1200?

@@juanpestrada5231bdndjkdn sorry, I already sold it.

@@600zxr l wonder why they discontinued it is a LOC epicenter and amplifier build in one

@@juanpestrada5231bdndjkdn they realized they will sell fewer Epicenters when the amps have them integrated. It's all about the dollar.

🔥haha

The epicenter essentially adds bass to music that doesn't have much bass.

@@dylanandersen9318 thanks.

You are correct, sir. I’ll even double check with our engineering team so I can be 100% certain, but having a linear potentiometer was one of my main design elements I requested when we designed this piece.

@@MrMattyXb If true that's a game-changer for SPL applications. Now, if there were only a way to index a multi-turn potentiometer either with a digital readout "0-99" or at minimum mechanical detents in the pot. ie: each percentage number or detent is worth some amount of power, say 25 watts on the Term-Lab clamp

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.

@@MrMattyXb Yeah, I didn't really think about that at first. I guess it's just kind of hard in 2021 to wrap my mind around the multi-wire thing in a world going wireless.

I agree with you I've been looking for a old one hard to find only people who don't know what they have will sell

its a epicenter as well

I’m going to take that as a compliment, lol.

This new Epicenter micro fits the bill. Has low level and high level inputs. Also stay tuned later in 2021/early 2022 for another new epicenter model. 🤫

@@MrMattyXb just to clarify. Early in the interview, you said the Micro is in ADDITION to the original Epicenter? So I need to install both??

@Joey C what did you end up buying both ?
