Product Description

If you want the best bass possible and a way to measure how loud your system is playing, the EPIC-160 in-dash car audio processor is the perfect product for you. The EPIC-160 is an expert combination of the patented bass enhancement circuits from The Epicenter along with a microphone and a 160-dB SPL (sound pressure level) display. The display will show real time SPL or hold the highest value so you can show your friends. It will also display voltage so you can monitor your vehicle's electrical systems. With AudioControl's unique Para-Bass equalization control, you select the frequency and bandwidth for the enhanced bass action. The EPIC-160 in-dash car audio processor gives you great bass and a way to see the result.

The EPIC-160 uses The Epicenter’s patented bass restoration circuitry, which actually adds lower octaves of bass to any performance autosound 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 one tenth 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.

Real Bass Control
In addition to our powerful crossover, the DXS features our exclusive Programmable Frequency Match (PFM) filter system. This low-cut filter brings out the best bass performance from any system. A sharp 18 dB frequency-programmable bass filter allows the system installer to easily customize the bass response to match the speaker design. This gives you the highest performance and superior sound pressure levels from advanced speaker systems.
