OVERVIEW
Congratulations on your purchase of the Wirez LCTS-2. This is a high quality level
converter with signal sensing. It is capable of being used in many confi gurations
with both original equipment (factory installed) and aftermarket products.
Features:
• Selectable RCA or Speaker Wire Input/Output Confi guration
• Independent Left and Right Output Level Control
• Signal Sensing Remote Turn On Output
INSTALLATION NOTES
1. The LCTS-2 should be mounted in a location that is easily accessible for system
tuning.
2. Ground and fused power connections should be made directly to the head unit power
connection to prevent ground loops.
3. To provide maximum signal to noise ratio performance, the use of an oscilloscope
or distortion detection device like the SMD DD-1 should be used to properly set the
output level of the head unit, LCTS-2 and if applicable, the amplifi er in your system.
4. A common ground wire is included on both the input and output RCA and speaker
wire harnesses of the LCTS-2. This wire is connected internally. In some applications,
you may need to connect this wire to the chassis of the source unit and/or the
amplifi er for the LCTS-2 to work properly. The criteria that most commonly require the
use of this wire are:
LCTS-2 does not turn on when the radio is turned up
No audio produced by the LCTS-2
Engine noise and/or alternator whine in the audio system
Lack of bass / low Frequency music content
5. The LCTS-2 will not produce alternator whine. It may, as with all signal processors,
present a ground loop in the system that results in noise being introduced to the
system. This is not a failure of the product and can be addressed through proper
installation and the use of the common ground wire.
6. If you are not experienced with the installation of mobile electronic components,
the proper procedure to set system gain structure or do not fully understand these
instructions, Wirez strongly recommends that you seek the assistance of a trained
professional mobile electronics installer to complete the installation and tuning of your
mobile entertainment system.
7. Note: Many source units with Bluetooth Hands Free or Navigation only output audio
from these sources on the front speaker wire or RCA outputs. Please take this into
consideration when making your head unit connections.
