Tru Technology 8ch Class A/B Line Amp Conditioner

Most source units only achieve their rated 4V output at maximum volume, where distortion becomes audible. At safe listening levels (around 75% volume), output often drops below 1V RMS. The LINE-8 v2 amplifies these weak signals to optimal levels, allowing you to reduce amplifier gain settings and eliminate background noise while maintaining full dynamic range.

Yes, the LINE-8 v2 accepts input voltages as low as 0.001V, making it compatible with factory source units that typically output only 200mV to 2V. The voltage gain boost will dramatically improve your system's performance when upgrading from factory audio with aftermarket amplifiers.

While DSP units often include basic line driver functions, the Tru Technology LINE-8 v2 provides dedicated analog signal conditioning with superior specifications. The 0.00006% THD+N and >116dB S/N ratio exceed most integrated solutions, offering audiophile-grade performance for critical listening applications where signal purity is paramount.

The LINE-8 v2 operates on 9.5VDC to 15VDC and draws minimal current through a 1-amp fuse. Most installers connect to the vehicle's 12V accessory circuit or amplifier remote terminal, ensuring the unit powers on with the audio system while maintaining stable voltage regulation.

You'll need to readjust the amplifier gain controls after installation, as the LINE-8 v2 increases signal voltage by 4.5 times. Start with gains at a minimum and gradually increase while monitoring for distortion. The goal is to achieve full output with lower gain settings than before, resulting in improved noise performance.

Absolutely. The independent output channels allow clean signal distribution to multiple amplifiers without signal degradation. Each output maintains the same high-quality specifications, making it ideal for complex systems with separate amplifiers for subwoofers, midbass, midrange, and tweeters.

Mount the unit away from heat sources and ensure adequate ventilation. Keep input and output cables separated to prevent interference. Use high-quality RCA cables for connections, and ensure solid ground connections. The compact size allows flexible mounting locations within the vehicle.

The extended 10Hz to 150kHz frequency response ensures no musical information is lost, while the tight ±0.02dB tolerance in the critical 20Hz to 20kHz audio band maintains perfect tonal balance. This flat response preserves your system's original sound signature without adding coloration or emphasis.

frequency response, spanning 10Hz to 150kHz, ensures that
