LOC-E Speaker Level to RCA Converter
(120-1337)                 Specifications             Faxback Doc. # 31753

The LOC-E is an electronic device that allows any stereo to be connected to
an amplifier/EQ booster.  This is accomplished by converting the speaker
high level outputs of any stereo into low level RCA jacks by electronically
converting the signal as it passes through the LOC-E.

Use the LOC-E whenever you wish to add an amplifier or EQ booster to a
stereo that is not equipped with RCA (low-level) outputs.  By simply
connecting the speaker inputs of the LOC-E to the speaker outputs of your
radio, you can now add any amplifier or EQ booster to your car audio
system.

Helpful Hints:

    The wiring colors of the LOC-E may be different from the wiring colors
    found on your stereo.

    Consult your stereo owner's manual to determine the correct wire
    functions.

    Always work in an area with ample lighting.

    For helpful hints on connecting wires, see the section entitled
    "Professional Wiring Tips". 

CONNECTING THE LOC-E TO YOUR RADIO:

1.  Connect the left (+) speaker wire of your stereo to the white wire of
    the LOC-E.  Connect the left (-) speaker wire to the white/black wire
    of the LOC-E.  Connect the right (+) speaker wire to the gray wire of
    the LOC-E.  Connect the right (-) speaker wire to the gray wire of the
    LOC-E.

2.  Connect the black wire of the LOC-E to vehicle chassis ground.  (Using
    the same ground location the stereo uses is recommended.

3.  Connect the red wire of the LOC-E to 12V switched ignition. (The wire
    that has power only when the key is in the "ON" position.)

4.  Connect the RCA output jacks of the LOC-E to the RCA inputs of your
    amplifier/EQ booster.  Red=right, White=Left.

5.  Check all connections and test the sound system.

NOTE:  If a high pitched squeal is apparent while playing the stereo after
       the LOC-E has been installed, connect the brown wire to the black
       ground wire of the LOC-E.

ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT LEVEL

The LOC-E is equipped with output level controls that can be adjusted for
proper sound level matching.  This is done by inserting a small flat blad
or Phillips head screwdriver into the gain adjustment holes, located on top
of the LOC-E.  By turning clockwise, the gain for that individual channel,
or the amount of sound allowed to pass through the LOC-E is increased.  By
turning counterclockwise, the gain for that individual channel is
decreased.  If you feel that after increasing the volume of your stereo,
the sound is too quiet, then equally increase both the left and right gains
of the LOC-E until the sound level is adequate.  If the sound level is too
loud with only a slight increase in stereo volume, or distortion (poor
sound quality) is noticeable, then equally increase the gains of the LOC-E.
