HILO-V3 by Focal

The HILO-V3 is a High-Low Adapter from Focal with impedance simulation. It converts amplified stereo signals into two low-level line outputs and uses a separate ground to reduce noise interference. The selectable DC and AC voltage detection allows compatibility with OEM head units. The adapter automatically generates a remote signal to activate an amplifier. Operation is also possible passively without 12 V, with the remote output non-functional in this mode. The HILO-V3 is stop & start compatible. The frequency response ranges from 10 Hz to 80 kHz (+/- 1 dB), the signal-to-noise ratio is over 100 dB, and distortion is below 0.01%. The DC detection threshold is 5.2 V at 14.4 V input voltage, and the AC detection threshold is 22 mV at 1 kHz.

Frequently Asked Questions about HILO-V3

How does the impedance simulation work in the 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 achieved. 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 existing OEM systems while significantly improving sound fidelity.

What frequency response does the HILO-V3 adapter have?

The Focal HILO-V3 adapter covers a wide frequency response 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 broad 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.

How does the HILO-V3 eliminate noise in the audio signal?

The Focal HILO-V3 effectively minimizes noise in the audio signal through a clever combination of impedance matching and separate ground management. 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 particularly important for Hi-Fi enthusiasts and discerning music lovers.

What is the significance of the automatic remote control output on the HILO-V3?

The automatic remote 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.

Can the HILO-V3 be used without an external power supply?

Yes, the Focal HILO-V3 can operate in passive mode without an external 12V power supply. In this mode, the audio signal is processed without an additional power source, minimizing installation effort. However, it should be noted that in this operation, the automatic remote 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.

How do DC and AC voltage detection differ in the HILO-V3?

The HILO-V3 from Focal features selectable DC and AC voltage detection, allowing for flexible adaptation to different use scenarios. The DC voltage detection with a threshold of 5.2 V at a 14.4 V input voltage allows for efficient detection mechanics 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 current 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.

How does the HILO-V3 integrate into OEM audio systems?

The HILO-V3 was 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, audio quality is preserved while parallel system components such as controls or displays remain operational. With minimal installation effort, the HILO-V3 can be installed in most OEM systems, optimizing sound output and enabling the seamless connection of additional amplifiers, literally elevating the music experience to a new level.

How is the installation of the 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 affecting the interior design. For power supply, it is possible to use the adapter in passive mode, with only the automatic remote output function being disabled. The correct positioning and connection design depend on the specific vehicle layout but can be easily implemented using the included instructions.

Which vehicle models is the HILO-V3 compatible with?

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 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.

What key parameters distinguish the HILO-V3?

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 distortion of less than 0.01% are its primary features. Additionally, the automatic DC and AC detection thresholds provide versatile applications 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.

Es lohnt sich!

Ich habe sie an den Sounddigital 800.4 Evo6 angeschlossen. Und ich bin mehr als zufrieden. Mitteltöner laut und auch präzise. Hochtöner brennen nicht in den Ohren, die sind laut und geben das, was sie sollen. Gut angelegtes Geld.

Laut ... einfach nur laut

Also ich sag es mal so... wenn man ein Lautes Kompo System sucht, mit noch sehr guten Klangeigenschaften.
Naja der sollte das T3 von Rockford nehmen.
Ich hatte viele Systeme verbaut und bin dann wieder zurück zum T3 und habe nun 3 verbaut... schön laut und sehr feiner Klang.

vibe powerbox65.4m v7 samen met quadlock connector besteld.

Levertijd prima in orde.

vibe powerbox65.4m v7 in mijn vrachtwagen Volvo Fmx 2024 gemonteerd met Quadlock.
Alleen plug and play super fantastisch systeem. Alles standaard op 12v geen omvormer of iets nodig.
In bouw tijd ongeveer 30 minuten.
Radio verwijderen connectors verbinden vibe powerbox65.4m v7 aansluiten.
Alle originele radio instellingen op nul of uit gezet. Volume op 3/4 langzaam de powerbox65.4m v7 open draaien en al het werk laten doen.
Perfect kristal helder geluid in combinatie met mijn Rockford t142 en Rockford p1650 speakers. De bass geluid is verbeterd maar voor echte diepe baas waar ik persoonlijk niet zo van ben heb je echt een externe subwoofer nodig.
Kortom een goede upgrade van je radiogeluid is gegarandeerd.

Masori was goed met de prijs, perfecte communicate met hun gehad. Een echte aanrader.
