Product Research

Features

Overview: This wired remote (ACR-3) allows you to easily change the input source, adjust the auxiliary input volume, and adjust the output level of channel 4 (often used for a subwoofer) of the AudiControl LC8i. The remote is designed to be dash mounted, within reach of the driver; it can be mounted under the dash with the supplied bracket, or the bracket can be removed and the knob and LED can be custom mounted through the dash. Pressing the knob engages the auxiliary input.

Mounting Options: The dash control may be mounted under the dash using its own bracket or through a custom hold in the dash. It should be within reach of the driver and in a spot where the LED is plainly visible

  • Bracket Installation: The dash control mounts with two screws, which attach to the underside of the dashboard. Slide under the dash and place the dash control in its mounting position, mark the two mounting holes, drill pilot holes, and secure with two screws.
  • Custom Installation: For that custom, finished look, the dash control can be flush mounted directly on the dash-board (or anywhere else). Disassemble the dash control from the mounting bracket. Start by pushing the LED from its holder followed by removing the circuit board and rotary control from the bracket. Drill a 9/32" hole in the dashboard for the control along with a 1/8" hole for the lock tab and a 13/54" hold for the LED holder. Reassemble the dash control components on the dashboard.

Q
Does this work with the Epicenter amplifiers? Any reason why it has 6 pins and the Epicenter 1200 only have 4?

Greetings Scott, and thank you for your question. we would go by the compatibility list given by Audio Control, and the Epicenters are not on the list. I would go with no, its not going to be compatible, and we are not going to open up boxes to try it. perhaps it could work as a Bass knob on the Epicenter. Audio Control would have the best answer in this case. Their number is 425-777-7723.

The ACR-3 is the appropriate knob for the Epicenter1200. The ACR-3 is used with various AudioControl models, so it is likely that the additional pins are used for different purposes with different AudioControl products.

Is this compatible with the D5-1300? It doesnt say anywhere that it is, but seems like it would work the same.

D series amps use ACR3 remote. Right in the user manual you can freely download. ACR1 is not compatible.

This AudioControl ACR-3 is not compatible with the D5-1300 amplifier sadly, Aiden. You will want to snag the ACR-1 in the handy link below, this wired remote knob will work well with the AudioControl D5-1300 amplifier! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_161ACR1/AudioControl-ACR-1.html

Does it have a clip indicator?
dcc0011  Apr 11, 2022

A
No - it does not, you can use it to adjust output level and "clicks" when pushed in to toggle different settings. If you need to see when a signal is clipped use the free download software and/or the LED indicators on the unit itself.

Q
Can the acr 3 knob work with a rockford fosgate amplifier? More specifically the r2 250x1?
isaiah  Sep 19, 2021

A
It is highly improbable that the ACR3 will work on a Rockford amp. You need a Rockford Fosgate Prime Gen 3 Remote Level Control 1510-72579-01
bernardo  Sep 19, 2021

Sorry Bro, but No. Rockford Def makes a Bass Knob tho, that's what you need My Dude. Just search control knobs or something of that nature. I love the ACR3 tho, works perfect
