The Legatia L3x topology is loosely based off of the Legatia L2x crossover topology, which was first released in October 2009. The L3x can be used for virtually any Legatia three-way passively crossed-over systems, or used in conjunction with other Hybrid Audio products to create a truly “bespoke” three-way system. The Legatia L3x was launched in June 2011 and is the reference three-way passive crossover in Hybrid Audio’s product category known collectively as the Legatia Series.

The Legatia L3x is an exceptional-quality three-way passive crossover device that can be used with any Hybrid Audio speaker system to accommodate any number of different bespoke system designs.

At home in virtually any arrangement, the L3x is Hybrid Audio Stage V high-end three-way passive crossover, boasting exceptional performance and a design philosophy that goes hand in hand with true high-fidelity playback.

The Legatia L2x is an exceptional-quality two-way passive crossover device that can be used with any Hybrid Audio speaker system to accommodate any number of different bespoke system designs. The L2x can be used for two-way passively crossed-over systems, or used as the two-way dividing network for midrange and treble drivers in a “quasi-active” three-way (six speaker) system, where the midbass is actively crossed-over at the amplifier. The L2x is based loosely off of the Clarus C2x crossover, with key enhancements, including the option for vertical bi-wiring, as well as an enhanced filter set using low-tolerance, super high-quality parts.

At home in virtually any arrangement, the L2x is Hybrid Audio Stage V high-end two-way passive crossover, boasting exceptional performance and a design philosophy that goes hand in hand with true high-fidelity playback.

In 2015, if you want the best sound and all the dynamic range your system is capable of, you need a signal line driver.

In the ’90s, any decent deck had 4 volts of preamp output. Some had 8V and some even had 12V.  But now, even the best units have only 4V RMS and most are barely 2V, and that’s 2 volts only at 1KHz at clipping. Ask the deck to produce preamp voltage at all frequencies (like when you’re playing music) and that voltage drops by 1/2 and often even more. `

What does this mean to you?  First, when you have less signal going down your RCA cables you need to gain your amp up to get volume and then your system has more background hiss and likely more distortion. An even bigger tragedy is that you are compressing the dynamic range of the music. You lose the difference between the quiet and the loud and the music sounds “canned”. There’s no life in the music.  What’s the answer? A Zapco Signal Line Driver Preamp. The ASP-L2 BT is a true 9.5Volt output line driver with 14Volts peak. The ASP-L2 has a single pair of inputs, but it has 2 pairs of outputs so you can run both a bass and a highs amplifier off the same preamp output. And, of course, each output signal gets 9.5Volts RMS.

Bluetooth Streaming: The ASP-L2 BT is not just an awesome 9.5V RMS line driver. It is also a Bluetooth input for your sound system. The L2 BT also comes with a dash remote level control so you can match the level of your Bluetooth device and the level of your head unit and use the L2 BT remote as your system volume control.

Let us take it a step further: If you do most of your listening to on an iPod, MP3 player, or other Bluetooth devise, why do you need a head unit? Really, when you have an ASP-L2 BT line driver you have your Bluetooth input, your signal line driver, and your volume control. So the head unit becomes the optional accessory! You don’t need a head unit if you don’t want one. If you have a motorcycle, boat, classic car, hot rod, 4-wheeler, or side by side RV, you probably don’t want to have to put a head unit in the vehicle. The ASP-L2.BT is exactly what you need.

In 2021, if you want the best sound and all the dynamic range your system is capable of, you need a signal line driver. Period!

In the 90’s, any decent deck had 4 volts of preamp output. Some had 8V and some even had 12V.  But now, even the best units have only 4V RMS and most are barely 2V, and that’s 2 volts only at 1KHz at clipping.

What does this mean to you?  First, when you have less signal going down your RCA cables you need to gain your amp up to get volume and then your system has more background hiss and likely more distortion. An even bigger tragedy is that you are compressing the dynamic range of the music. You lose the difference between the quiet and the loud and the music sounds “canned”. There’s no life in the music.  What’s the answer? A Zapco Signal Line Driver Preamp.  The Zapco ASP-L6 is a six channel line driver delivering a true 9.5 volts RMS of preamp output and 14 volts peak output. With this line driver you can leave your amp gains all the way down and still get maximum power and maximum dynamic range from the amp.

Because the line drivers job is boosting the preamp signal, it’s absolutely critical that the line driver does not induce any of its own noise or distortion into the system. That’s why we use only the premium Elna Silmic ll caps and the OP275 audiophile op-amps in the signal path of the L6 and L2 BT line drivers. You also have the option of balanced or unbalanced inputs, and selectable signal ground refrerence. All for a dead quiet, distortion free signal.

As a distribution preamp,  the ASP-L6 lets you send 6 inputs to 6 outputs, but you can also send one set of RCAs to all outputs. So you can feed three amps from one set of RCA inputs, or you can send one pair of inputs to 2 amps for mids and highs send a separate bass signal to the sub amp.

Finally, the protective cover plate has selectable illumination so you can highlight the installation.

It’s difficult at best to change many factory head units. In addition there are any number of features and functions that are hampered or lost if the factory head unit is removed. The ASP-OE2 is an OEM adaptor designed for superior sound quality, with top end internal parts and Zapco’s custom built high precision pots. It is an active device including the line converter and a signal line driver that puts out 9.5V RMS and 14V peak signal voltage. With the ASP-OE2 your system will sound every bit as good with the factory head unit as it would with an aftermarket head unit.

Bass Recovery: If you are driving a fairly new car, you’re probably noticed that when you turn up the volume of the system the bass seem to drop out. That’s because the auto makers are actively equalizing your system. They do think to protect the the factory speaker from the damage when you crank up the volume. Well, even when you add amplifiers and speakers to the car, that factory head unit will still pull out the bass frequencies when you turn up the volume. One way to avoid the bass loss to leave the volume range of the head unit low and turn the gains of the amps way up. That way the head unit does not know how loud the system is.  Unfortunately this does terrible things to the sound. You can go here and we explain all about the factory roll-off and how the ASP-EO2 cures it. But for now, the important thing is that the OE2 can seamlessly put the bass back ino the systen regardless of the head unit volume control.

With the ASP-OE2, you can leave the amp gains down and get crystal clear mids and highs and rock solid bass from the factory head unit at every volume from quiet conversational back ground to setting-off-the- neighbor’s-alarm, ground pounding loud.

For many years people have been using passive LOCs to adapt speaker level signals to RCA signals so they can add amplifiers to their systems. The results have been less than satisfactory. In fact many (if not most) folks out there have come to accept the fact that the factory stereo signals are just not good enough to be adapted into a top quality sound system. But they are wrong!

Passive LOCs: There is nothing wrong with the factory stereo signal. The problem is those passive LOCs.  Passive LOCs use resistors, inductors, and capacitors to block the high level signal and use up some of the power so it comes out at a lower level. In doing this they add both distortion and noise, and they remove bass information from the signal. This means that the signal coming out of the passive LOC is worse than the signal going in. It has more distortion, more noise, and the low bass information has been removed.  So, when you put this signal into an amplifier you get bad sound made loud. Think about this; a majority of people who add a 2 channel adapter are doing so to add a subwoofer to the system. A passive LOC is totally counterproductive. They are adding a woofer at the same time they are taking out bass from the signal.

ASP-OEB: There has never been a unit like this one. The ASP-OEB is a basic 2-channel line converter with a difference. The ASP-OEB is a true active peramp with exactly the same circuitry that is in our other active adapters. The OEB has the same 9.5- Volt preamp that all our signal processors have. It also has adjustable preamp gain and Automatic Turn-On that can be defeated with the flip of a switch if desired. With the ASP-OEB you will get the same crystal clear mids and highs and rock solid bass you expect from any Zapco signal processor. And at just 2½” by 2¼” it will fit anywhere. If you are using the OEB to add a woofer, wow! You get a flat response down to below 20Hz and you get a 9.5 volt strong signal for your bass amplifier. Now that’s the way to put bass in a car.
