OG High To Low Convertor

A high-to-low converter, also known as a line output converter (LOC), is a device used in car audio systems to integrate aftermarket amplifiers into factory audio systems. It is primarily used when the factory head unit (radio) does not have dedicated RCA preamp outputs for connecting external amplifiers.

Here's how a high-to-low converter works:

1. Input: The high-to-low converter connects to the speaker-level outputs of the factory head unit. These outputs carry amplified signals that are intended to directly power the car's speakers.

2. Signal Conversion: The high-to-low converter takes the amplified speaker-level signals and converts them to line-level signals. Line-level signals are the preamplified, low-voltage signals typically used to connect audio sources to amplifiers.

3. Output: The high-to-low converter provides RCA outputs that can be connected to an aftermarket amplifier. These RCA outputs deliver the converted line-level signals, which the amplifier then amplifies to power the car's speakers or subwoofers.

By using a high-to-low converter, car audio enthusiasts can tap into the factory speaker wires and connect an aftermarket amplifier without needing to replace the entire factory head unit. This allows for enhanced audio performance, higher power output, and customization options in the car audio system.

It's important to note that the installation of a high-to-low converter requires proper wiring connections and adjustments to ensure the converter receives the appropriate signal level. Additionally, some high-to-low converters may include adjustable settings, such as gain controls, to fine-tune the output signal levels for optimal audio performance.

Overall, high-to-low converters provide a practical solution for integrating aftermarket amplifiers into factory audio systems, allowing for improved sound quality and flexibility in car audio upgrades.
