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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Channel High-to-Low Conversion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Converts two factory speaker-level channels into RCA signals for an aftermarket amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20V \/ 40V Input Select:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose the input range that best matches the factory system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree Automatic Turn-On Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use audio sensing, DC offset, or a standard remote trigger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise Rejection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps maintain a cleaner signal during factory-to-aftermarket integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Casing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rugged housing protects the compact converter in an automotive installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermal Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for dependable operation during extended use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface-Mount Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports the converter's compact, installer-friendly design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide Frequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Operates from 10Hz–20kHz with less than 0.01% THD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Use the MTLOC2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: DS18 MTLOC2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2-channel high-to-low line output converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 2 factory speaker-level channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: RCA low-level signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput selection: 20V \/ 40V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic turn-on: Audio sensing, DC offset, or remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 10Hz–20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: Less than 0.01%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing: Aluminum casing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection: Noise rejection and thermal protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the factory radio's signal type, input range, amplifier requirements, and available mounting space before installation.
