Alpine Car Stereo in Morgantown, WV

AudioControl has existed for up to 40 years and has been a leading brand in car audio. They were the pioneers of The Epicenter Bass Processor and since then have been looking for new ways to make the bass in mobile environments better.

One of the issues with music production in certain audio equipment was the fact that as the volume increased, the bass disappeared. This was where AudioControl came in, they used their AccuBASS to fix this problem, and now you can listen to music at any level with the bass.

In this article, we will be looking at some of the other products that AudioControl offers and what they do. We would look at some of their features, drawbacks, and benefits.

The Epicenter

This is the product that really brought AudioControl to the limelight. One of the major issues that we encounter when we listen to music through our MP3 player on the car stereo is that the MP3 player thinks the car stereo is a headphone. So, it removes the bass entirely, making for a very terrible listening experience.

Now when you get the products in The Epicenter series, it restores the bass for you, giving you that thumping bass that you crave so much. It is also called the digital bass restoration processor.

AudioControl Surround Sound Processor

This is another major product of AudioControl. This is a newer product that handles surround sounds for you and immerses you into your viewing experience coupled with high-level sound codecs such as DTS:X and Dolby Atmos. This equipment comes in heavy metal steel that has openings all around it to allow for heat to dissipate easily. Also, behind it is the pretty big panel that accommodates every jack you need for connectivity.

One thing that really stands out for this sound processor is the cool AM/FM tuner which you can use to listen to internet radio and network streaming. All you have to do is hook up the ethernet to the rear panel. Another feature of this equipment is that you can control it from your iOS devices just by downloading the slick app. However, one drawback of this system is that you cannot transfer computer audio over USB, but this may not be an issue as these surround systems are usually marketed for your home cinema even though it performs very well with the music.

Market

Generally speaking, AudioControl would be most appreciated by audio engineers, audiophiles, and those who have a big understanding of audio. Their products are usually more for the technical side than for the general public.

Still, they have different lines of products, from the Epicenter series to the Maestro series, which are all about optimizing sound to the hippest possible level.

Conclusion

AudioControl is one the leading brands for car audio with very niche uses. However, one cannot go wrong with buying them. Even though you will definitely need to have a level of technical know-how to use them
