High/low converter Zapco ASP-OEB

For years, people have used passive converters to adapt speaker level signals to RCA signals in order to add amplifiers to their systems. The results were less than satisfactory. In fact, many (if not most) people out there have accepted the fact that factory stereo signals simply aren't good enough to fit into a high-end audio system. But he is wrong!

Passive high/low converter (regular high/low converter): There is nothing wrong with the factory stereo signal. The problem is with passive converters that use resistors, inductors and capacitors to block the high level signal and consume some of the power so it comes out at a lower level. At the same time, they add distortion and noise and remove information about the lowest frequencies from the signal. This means that the signal coming out of the passive converter is worse than the signal coming in. It has more distortion, more noise and low frequency information has been removed. When you put this signal into an amplifier, you get a bad sound at higher volumes. Most people who add a 2 channel adapter do so to add a subwoofer to the system. A passive converter is completely counterproductive. Adds a woofer while removing bass from the signal.

Zapco ASP-OEB : There has never been a unit like this. The Zapco ASP-OEB is a true active preamp with the same circuitry found in Zapco's other active adapters. The OEB also has the same 9.5 volt preamp that all Zapco DSP processors have. It also has adjustable preamp gain and auto-on that can be turned off if needed. With ASP-OEB you get the same crystal clear mids and highs and rock solid bass you expect from any Zapco signal processor. And with dimensions of 59 x 26 x 79 mm, it fits anywhere. If you use an OEB to add a woofer, you get a response down to 20Hz and a strong 9.5V signal for your bass amp. The perfect way to add an amplifier to your stock car stereo.
