Overview
2 Channel Line Output Converter
Upgrade your factory audio system with the Cerwin-Vega IOEMHL 2 Channel Line Output Converter, a reliable solution designed to integrate aftermarket amplifiers with OEM head units. This 2-channel LOC (line output converter) allows high-level speaker signals from factory radios to be converted into clean, low-level RCA outputs, making it easy to add amplifiers and enhance your vehicle’s overall sound performance.
The Cerwin-Vega IOEMHL line output converter is engineered to provide exceptional audio clarity and reliable signal conversion. With its low output impedance, the IOEMHL ensures efficient signal transfer to connected amplifiers while minimizing signal loss. This allows your amplifier to receive a strong and consistent signal for improved sound quality and system performance.
To preserve the integrity of your factory audio signal, the IOEMHL features high input impedance, which helps maintain accurate sound reproduction when converting speaker-level signals to RCA outputs. This ensures that every detail of your music is preserved while preventing distortion and unwanted signal degradation.
The flat frequency response of the IOEMHL ensures consistent performance across the entire audio spectrum, allowing your music to sound natural and balanced. From deep bass to crisp highs, this converter delivers clean and accurate sound reproduction without coloring or altering the original signal.
Designed for high-performance installations, the IOEMHL provides strong output voltage levels, ensuring your amplifier receives a powerful signal for optimal operation. Additionally, the unit offers excellent signal-to-noise ratios, helping eliminate background noise and electrical interference for a cleaner listening experience.
Installation is simple thanks to the panel-mount RCA connections, which provide secure, stable connections to amplifiers and other audio components.
Key Features:
• 2-channel line output converter for factory audio integration
• Converts speaker-level signals to RCA outputs
• Low output impedance for efficient signal transfer

Crossover, Digital Sound Processors, Signal Converter, Bluetooth Receivers - FAQ
Q1: When do I need a line‑output converter (LOC)? How should I choose between IOEM‑series LOC and compact SLMLOCT series?
A: You need a LOC when your factory head‑unit lacks RCA pre‑amp outputs, and you plan to add external amplifiers. It converts high‑level speaker‑level signals into low‑level RCA signals. IOEM models are active units with ground‑isolation and load‑select switches, ideal for complex installations prone to noise. The compact SLMLOCT series fits tight spaces for basic upgrades. Match channel count to your system: pick 2‑in‑2‑out for two‑channel builds, or 4‑in‑4‑out for multi‑amplifier setups.
Q2: What are the main differences between DSP, analogue EQ equaliser, and LOC? Can they be used together?
A: A LOC only converts signal voltage level without tone adjustment. An analogue graphic EQ lets you manually adjust frequency bands as an analogue pre‑stage. Digital DSP offers crossovers, time‑alignment, phase adjustment and parametric EQ via tuning software. They can be combined properly: the factory signal feeds a LOC, then passes to DSP and onwards to amplifiers. Avoid cascading multiple analogue EQ units, as this will raise the noise floor and degrade sound quality.
Q3: Can BTR‑series Bluetooth receivers work without a factory head‑unit? What vehicles are they suitable for?
A: BTR Bluetooth receivers operate standalone without an OEM radio, outputting RCA audio to amplifiers. They work great for UTVs, jet‑skis, motorcycles and off‑road vehicles with no stock head‑unit. They can also add wireless streaming to existing car‑audio systems. Check model specs; select water‑resistant variants for rough outdoor and wet environments.
Q4: Will the CHGLIRCA ground‑loop isolator definitely fix alternator whine noise?
A: The CHGLIRCA isolator suppresses ground‑loop noise, yet it is not a universal fix. When you hear engine‑speed‑dependent whine, first verify all devices are grounded to bare chassis metal, route RCA cables away from power wires, and set the correct load‑select switches on your LOC. Add the isolator only after proper wiring has been completed. It cannot eliminate noise originating from a contaminated vehicle power supply.
Q5: What installation tips apply to DSP processors? Will a DSP drain my car battery?
A: DSP units require 12V constant power, ground and a REM turn‑on signal. Use ACC‑switched power so the unit sleeps automatically at ignition‑off to prevent battery drain. Mount away from heat and moisture. Physical installation is not complete without tuning: configure crossovers, time‑alignment and EQ with official software. Keep input/output gain moderate to prevent signal clipping. Professional shop tuning is recommended if you are unfamiliar with DSP tuning workflows.
