Expand your system's sound

Sometimes old school is cool. AudioControl's THREE.2 is an in-dash equalizer and a whole lot more, allowing you to control almost every aspect of your receiver's output from the driver's seat. It starts with three bands of equalization — high, midrange, and midbass — and then adds a fourth band, called Para-BASS®, that'll fine-tune the low frequencies to get the bass popping the way you like. Front and rear auxiliary inputs let you plug in a couple of outside music sources like a satellite radio receiver and your iPod®

System controller

The THREE.2 offers front and rear outputs for your full-range or component speakers, maintaining front-to-rear fader capability for greater depth to the soundstage. The subwoofer channel also features a 24 dB/octave crossover and its own level of control.

Get maximum punch from your amps

AudioControl knows all about noise elimination and signal level matching too, so the THREE.2's got adjustable input gains with an LED indicator to tell you when it's perfectly matched with the signal coming from your receiver. The THREE.2 also functions as a line driver/preamp — the master volume knob lets you boost the signal up to the level that your amplifiers need to play at maximum efficiency, even through long wire runs. And just for fun, you can set the knob illumination color to hot red or cool blue.

Graphic Stereo Equalization:

The THREE.2 turns the dashboard of your car into a mini-mixing board, just like that in a recording studio. The THREE.2 has three frequency controls set at 125Hz, 1.25KHz, and 10KHz respectively. The frequencies were selected to provide you with just enough control to make dramatic improvements in any system.

Para-BASS®:

You want bass, we got bass. This specially designed equalizer control lets you adapt the bass response of any system to your listening desire. Given all of the various types of music combined with numerous possible bass response anomalies in every vehicle, single control for bass just doesn't cut it. It's like painting a picture with only one color... BORING!

Input Selection:

The THREE.2 provides a "Main" RCA input on the back panel of the unit. It also provides two choices for an Auxiliary input. One is on the back panel for a permanent Aux-in, and the other is located on the front panel. If you just want to be able to plug an iPod in on occasion, then you can use the front panel 1/8" input. Also, the THREE.2 Aux-ins have been optimized with extra gain to compensate for weak signals from iPods and other MP3 players.

24dB/Octave Linkwitz Riley Crossover:

What is the benefit of fine-tuning your system if you cannot accurately route the proper frequencies to the proper amplifier channels? The programmable audiophile crossover in the THREE.2 is the same crossover in many other award-winning AudioControl components. Know who else gives you a 24dB Linkwitz-Riley in their in-dash EQ? Nobody! This is also a far cry from the wimpy crossovers that find their way into some amplifiers these days.

Pre-Amp Line Driver:

Talk about your ironies. Amplifiers require a high voltage input signal (generally 2 to 5 volts) to operate with maximum dynamic range and the best signal-to-noise ratio. On the other hand, typical source units only produce 1 to 2 volts, if you are lucky. In a system where the source unit is located in the front of the car and the amplifier(s) are located in the rear, the length of the connecting cables can have a negative impact on the strength of the signal. The THREE.2 includes a line driver that takes the weak output voltage of a head unit and increases it 20dB (up to 13 volts peak) and then delivers it downstream to the amplifier inputs.
