HILO-V3 by Focal

Discover the HILO-V3, a versatile high-low adapter with impedance simulation, developed by Focal. This allows you to optimally supply your amplifier with a quality audio signal without sacrificing the original head units and associated OEM controls. The HILO-V3 is characterized by the conversion of amplified stereo signals into low-level line outputs, which helps eliminate parasitic interference. Full compatibility with all original manufacturer head units and the ability for easy and interference-free use of an amplifier are just some of the outstanding features of this product.

Features

  • Converts an amplified stereo signal into two low-level line outputs for a stereo amplifier.
  • Eliminates interference noise through separate ground
  • Selectable DC and AC voltage detection - full compatibility with all head units from OEM manufacturers.
  • Automatically generates a remote control signal to activate the associated amplifier.
  • Can be used in passive mode without 12V power supply (in this case, the remote control output does not work)

Technical Data

  • Frequency response 10 Hz - 80 kHz (+/- 1dB)
  • Signal-to-noise ratio > 100dB
  • Distortion < 0.01%
  • Automatic remote control output below 0.01%
  • Stop & Start compatible Automatic
  • DC detection threshold 5.2 V for 14.4 V input voltage
  • AC detection threshold 22 mV @ 1 kHz

Frequent questions about HILO-V3


Wie funktioniert die Impedanz-Simulation beim HILO-V3?

The HILO-V3 from Focal uses an innovative impedance simulation to ensure seamless signal integrity between existing head units and an additional amplifier. By converting amplified stereo signals into low-level line outputs, optimal adaptation to the amplifier's signal processing is enabled. This technology eliminates parasitic interference and ensures clear audio output. The separate ground connection further reduces disturbances, which is particularly beneficial for audiophile demands. This preserves the original functionality of the existing OEM systems and significantly improves sound fidelity.

Welche Frequenzgang hat der HILO-V3 Adapter?

The Focal HILO-V3 adapter covers a wide frequency range from 10 Hz to 80 kHz (+/- 1dB). This means that the adapter is capable of accurately transmitting both deep bass frequencies and fine highs. Such a large frequency range is crucial for the detailed reproduction of various music styles, from electronic music to orchestral recordings. The accuracy of the frequency response is an important factor to ensure that no sound detail is lost, which is especially necessary for high-resolution music and advanced audio systems.

Wie eliminiert der HILO-V3 Störgeräusche im Audiosignal?

The Focal HILO-V3 effectively minimizes noise in the audio signal through a clever combination of impedance matching and separate ground routing. Thanks to the conversion of amplified stereo signals into low-impedance low-level outputs, interference is suppressed. The separate ground connection prevents ground loops and other disturbances by isolating noise sources from the signal path. This technical design ensures that even at maximum amplifier load, no audible distortion or noise occurs, providing a flawless listening experience. This is especially important for hi-fi enthusiasts and discerning music lovers.

Welche Bedeutung hat der automatische Fernbedienungsausgang beim HILO-V3?

The automatic remote control output of the HILO-V3 is crucial for integration into modern audio systems. It automatically generates a signal that activates the connected amplifier as soon as the audio input signal is detected. This means that no additional wiring is required to manually turn the amplifier on or off. The automatic output ensures that the amplifier operates efficiently and only when needed, saving energy and extending the lifespan of the devices. This feature is particularly useful in vehicles with complex audio systems, where user-friendliness and efficiency are essential.

Kann der HILO-V3 ohne externe Stromversorgung genutzt werden?

Yes, the Focal HILO-V3 can be operated in passive mode without an external 12V power supply. In this mode, the audio signal is processed without an additional power source, which minimizes installation effort. However, it should be noted that in this operation, the automatic remote control output cannot be used, as it requires a power supply to generate the remote signal. In applications where low wiring effort and convenient integration into existing systems are a priority, the passive mode still offers a flexible and simple solution.

Wie unterscheiden sich DC- und AC-Spannungserkennung beim HILO-V3?

The HILO-V3 from Focal features selectable DC and AC voltage detection, allowing for flexible adaptation to different application scenarios. The DC voltage detection with a threshold of 5.2 V at a 14.4 V input voltage enables an efficient detection mechanism for signal activity. In contrast, the AC voltage detection with a threshold of 22 mV at 1 kHz reliably detects small AC voltage signals. This choice between direct and alternating current facilitates compatibility with various audio devices and ensures smooth transitions in different operating situations. Especially in systems with varying voltage requirements, these options provide significant advantages.

Wie integriert sich der HILO-V3 in OEM-Audiosysteme?

The HILO-V3 has been specifically designed to be fully compatible with the head units of original manufacturers. This allows for direct integration into existing OEM audio systems without compromising their original functions. By converting the amplified stereo signals into low-level outputs, the audio quality is preserved while parallel system components such as controls or displays remain operational. With minimal installation effort, the HILO-V3 can be integrated into most OEM systems, optimizing sound output and enabling the seamless connection of additional amplifiers, literally elevating the music experience to a new level.

Wie gestaltet sich die Installation des HILO-V3?

The installation of the Focal HILO-V3 is technically straightforward and flexible. The adapter is designed to connect with standard audio cables and requires no special tools. With a compact design and robust connections, it can be easily placed in the vehicle without compromising the interior design. For power supply, it is possible to use the adapter in passive mode, although the function of the automatic remote output will then be disabled. The correct positioning and connection design depends on the specific vehicle layout but can be easily implemented using the included instructions.

Mit welchen Fahrzeugmodellen ist der HILO-V3 kompatibel?

The Focal HILO-V3 offers broad compatibility with vehicle models, as it is designed for integration with OEM head units used in a variety of vehicle brands. As long as the vehicle has an original audio system, the functions of the HILO-V3 can be utilized to expand the existing systems without sound loss. The dimensions of the adapter are compact and space-saving, allowing it to be installed even in tight spaces. For specific car models that feature factory integration of modern audio technology, the HILO-V3 is an excellent choice due to its versatile connection options.

Welche Schlüsselparameter zeichnen den HILO-V3 aus?

The HILO-V3 from Focal offers several key parameters that make it outstanding in the high-low adapter category: a frequency response of 10 Hz - 80 kHz (+/- 1dB), a signal-to-noise ratio of over 100dB, and a distortion of less than 0.01% are its primary features. Additionally, the automatic DC and AC detection thresholds provide versatile application possibilities in various system configurations. The adapter features a separate ground, automatic remote output function, and can be used in passive mode. These technical features make the HILO-V3 a preferred component for demanding audio applications and vehicle upgrades.
