DS18 MTLOC2 2-Channel Line Output Converter | 20V/40V

Clean Factory-to-RCA Integration for Aftermarket Amplifiers — DS18 MTLOC2

The DS18 MTLOC2 is a 2-channel line output converter that turns factory speaker-level signals into clean RCA low-level signals for an aftermarket amplifier. Its selectable 20V or 40V high-level input lets you match the converter to different OEM audio systems, making it a practical solution when the factory radio does not provide dedicated RCA outputs.

Key Features

• 2-Channel High-to-Low Conversion: Converts two factory speaker-level channels into RCA signals for an aftermarket amplifier.
• 20V / 40V Input Select: Choose the input range that best matches the factory system.
• Three Automatic Turn-On Options: Use audio sensing, DC offset, or a standard remote trigger.
• Noise Rejection: Helps maintain a cleaner signal during factory-to-aftermarket integration.
• Aluminum Casing: Rugged housing protects the compact converter in an automotive installation.
• Thermal Protection: Designed for dependable operation during extended use.
• Surface-Mount Technology: Supports the converter's compact, installer-friendly design.
• Wide Frequency Response: Operates from 10Hz–20kHz with less than 0.01% THD.

Why Use the MTLOC2?

Many factory radios send audio through speaker-level outputs instead of RCA connections. The MTLOC2 bridges that gap so you can add an aftermarket amplifier while keeping the original radio in place. The two-channel layout is a good fit for a basic amplifier integration, and the selectable turn-on methods give the installer flexibility for different vehicle wiring situations.
