VIBEAudio CLLOC-V7 Critical Link Line Level Converter, Black

I used this in a home hifi build to bring down a hot speaker output to a line-level mixer. The wiring was easy, and getting access inside the case allowed some mods I had in mind. Great stuff!

Good

Bought this device not knowing if I'd actually need it when installing a Kenwood underseat subwoofer (KSC-SW11). I bought them both at the same time and it was lucky I did really. I was going to be running the sub direct from the car's rear speakers due to my factory head unit not having RCA outputs, and I initially setup the sub in a test configuration (before final placement) without using the Vibe converter. I was really shocked at how poor the power output was, the sub could hardly be felt or heard, clearly not enough signal for the sub to pick up on. As I was using the rear speakers I'd have to fully fade the sound to the rear speakers to get it to work somewhat normally, but the quality was woeful. Obviously this was not acceptable as that would mean nothing (mid and treble) coming from the front speakers.At this point I was thinking that maybe this was not going to work at all, maybe my factory head unit (Ford Sync 3) was just not suitable to run a sub from the rear speakers, and I did not want to use the front speakers to run it from.So I decided I'd try the Vibe converter in the test setup... Wow, the difference was incredible, I couldn't believe good this this little device is, it transformed the power output from the sub.The small downside to this little unit is that it's another (albeit small) piece of kit to fit into the setup, so you have to find a suitable place to put it. I put it next to the sub, tucked away under the seat with all cables wrapped in neoprene.I'm really happy I decided to get one of these Vibe converters and now my car audio setup is the best it's ever been.

It's brilliant apart for the wire of is to short so I had to extend them all,apart from that it excellent.

So this is actually better than expected usually there is massive background noise associated with these type of devices. No bg noise, sound quality is good. Make sure you power it up from an accessory like cigarette lighter not from battery straight on.

Very good

Well built, does the job. Price ok, one of the more expensive ones.
