About the AudioControl The Epicenter
From our tech experts at CEN
The Epicenter, AudioControl’s bass restoration processor, which rebuilds the low frequencies that compressed music and factory systems roll away.
Who it suits
Anyone running a subwoofer from a factory head unit or streaming compressed audio, where the deepest content has effectively been thrown away before it reaches your amplifier. It is one of the few products in car audio with a genuine cult following.
Our tech experts advise
It is a processor rather than an amplifier: it needs setting up carefully against your system, and overdone it draws attention to itself. We set these up as part of an install. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.
