AudioControl ACR-1 Dash Remote Level Control 20ft Cable

The AudioControl ACR-1 is a compact wired dash remote that lets you adjust bass or overall level on compatible AudioControl processors and amplifiers with a 20-foot cable and mounting hardware.

Designed for installers and car-audio enthusiasts, the ACR-1 gives convenient, in-vehicle control of level or bass processing without accessing the head unit or processors. Its two-color LED provides an immediate visual cue of output level while the robust metal enclosure and removable mounting tabs offer flexible installation options. The remote ships with a 20-foot cable and a mounting plate so you can place it under your dash, flush mount it for a clean look, or attach it where it's easiest to reach.

How does the ACR-1 connect to my AudioControl system?

The ACR-1 uses a 20-foot phone-style cable to plug directly into compatible AudioControl processors, amplifiers, and line-output converters. No external power source is required; the remote communicates level information through the connected device. Installation typically requires routing the cable from the dash to the control jack on the back of your AudioControl product.

• Includes a 20-foot cable for flexible routing and placement.
• Plugs into the control jack on compatible AudioControl units—no extra wiring.
• Draws power through the connected AudioControl device; no additional power supply needed.

Which AudioControl units work with this remote?

The ACR-1 is compatible with a wide range of AudioControl products, including The EPICENTER Concert Series, select amplifiers, processors, and line-output converters. It also supports many legacy products, though some older gear may not support bypassed features. Check your unit model against AudioControl compatibility lists before purchasing to ensure full functionality.

• Works with The EPICENTER Concert Series and Matrix Plus processors.
• Compatible with selected amplifiers such as ACM-1.300, ACX and LC series models.
• Connects to line-output converters like LC2i, LC5iPRO, LC7iPRO and similar models.
• Supports legacy products including LC6, LC8, Overdrive Plus and original EPICENTER (with noted limitations).

What are the installation and mounting options?

The ACR-1 features a durable metal housing and removable mounting tabs so you can install it under a dash or perform a flush mount for a tidy, factory-like appearance. The included bracket and four screws make surface mounting straightforward, while the compact dimensions let the remote fit into tight spaces. Removable tabs allow customization of installation orientation to suit your vehicle's layout.

• Durable metal chassis with removable mounting tabs for versatility.
• Includes a mounting plate and four screws for under-dash or surface mounting.
• Flush-mount friendly for a discreet, finished look in consoles or panels.
• Compact footprint: approximately 2.5" x 1.75" x 1.0" to minimize intrusion.

How does the LED indicator help during use?

The two-color LED instantly indicates the current output level: it brightens as you raise the level and dims when you lower it. This visual feedback helps you make precise adjustments at a glance, especially while driving. The LED reduces guesswork when fine-tuning bass or overall volume from the driver’s seat.

• Two-color LED shows increased brightness with higher output.
• Immediate visual confirmation reduces need for repeated adjustments.
• Useful in low-light conditions and for quick on-the-fly tuning.

Who is this for: The AudioControl ACR-1 is ideal for car audio installers, mobile sound enthusiasts, and anyone who wants easy, in-cabin control of bass and level for compatible AudioControl processors and amplifiers. If you run The EPICENTER Concert Series, a supported AudioControl amplifier, processor or line-output converter and need a reliable, compact remote for routine level adjustments, the ACR-1 provides a durable, simple solution that installs cleanly and operates without extra wiring or power supplies.
