Customers like the signal strength of the wireless signal repeater. They say it boosts signal very well, provides a powerful output, and gives the subwoofer plenty of signal to provide great response. Some customers also mention that the signal is clean and the level change between direct feed and the line level signal booster works fine. Overall, most are satisfied with the product's signal strength and say it helps lighten the workload on the amp.

Customers are mixed about the volume of the wireless signal repeater. Some mention that it fixes low audio volume, makes no perceptible noise, and boosts the volume, while others say that it is noisy, too loud, and introduces a loud but bearable thump while turning off. Some customers also mention that there is some noise suggesting borderline oscillation.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the wireless signal repeater. Some mention it seems quality, perfect for getting reliable hi volt pre-amp output, and solid packaging. Others say it's poorly built, abysmal, and made of cheaper materials. Some say the computer output wasn't strong enough to run amp at normal level.

The audio output of this laptop is routed into the stereo receiver, to ultimately feed our FM stereo transmitter with our favorite online radio stations for listening throughout the house.
I built a relay box to route this audio both into the receiver when the receiver is turned on, and directly into the transmitter when the receiver is off. For some unknown reason, there is an audio pad in the receiver for this input, thus creating an approximate 3dB drop into the transmitter when the receiver is on. I had previously used an old radio shack 9v mixer to try to boost the laptop audio into the receiver, but it appears to be an active attenuator, not an active mixer, thus no gain.
This unit is actually a line amplifier.
Because of some of the peripherals in the stereo receiver, I already have a rugged 12v DC power supply in the cabinet, thus supplying power to this unit is very easy; the red and black leads are for DC in.
Out of the box, gain is set at full, and at this setting, there is some noise suggesting borderline oscillation. Fortunately, the signal was too hot into the receiver, so the trim controls are now set at about 40% to achieve unity into the FM transmitter. The signal is clean, and the level change between direct feed and receiver feed into the transmitter is imperceptible, at a much lower cost than similar line level amplifiers currently available.
I may purchase one or two more to have around should I need to boost a line level signal 3 to 6dB, which is the best testimonial I can supply.
I was redesigning a car audio system using stuff I already had, for the most part. So I had decided to use an older Alpine head unit. It had been replaced with a newer Kenwood at some point specifically for the usb and aux inputs, as well as a more powerful Class D internal amp. But I was not going to use the radio internal power, just external Amps. The Alpine had a superior CD section, and now there are inexpensive dongles to use the alpines lossless CD changer input, and it's I-pod inputs for aux in, and Blue tooth in.
But I felt like I needed to overcome the relatively low 2volt pre-outs limits. So I bought 1 of the line driver/level balancers and wired the unit to test on a bench. With it sending I of its front full rang preouts To my Yamaha receiver( in my shop) all I can say is wow, and ordered another for my sub out as well. The blue tooth worked perfectly, and the sound was clean, loud, and with no induced noise from the PAC line driver. So if you know you will be using low level "convenience" devices like anyone' who gets in the cars phone, weather you like it or not, it's just how it is now, I promise, add a line driver(1) before the signal goes in to your head unit, or multiple out of your head unit(if you know it has low preamp out and you want to drive all your sources.
The less than perfect: It works fine on one of my amps. On the other amp where I tested this, it is noisy. The instructions say to cut some bridges if there is noise - a problem of common ground - per instructions. This might help. But I decided to use it with the amp where it worked fine, rather than cut the bridges.
One word of warning: it ships with the gain controls set to the maximum level so it will probably "over drive" the line input of the head unit you are connecting to unless you turn it all the way down first. I've got the dials on mine set such that when the phone media volume is at about 70% the volume coming out of the head unit on the Aux input is about the same as the volume of a clear FM radio station at the same volume level. I also made sure that if my phone media volume is set to 100%, that the output is not distorted. In my case, this means that the gain controls on the LD10 are only set at about 25% of their maximum value. (If set any higher, I experienced distortion like some of the other reviews mentioned.) (Keep in mind that all audio devices have optimum input levels and that said optimum level is pretty much never "maximum".)
This amp is a little larger than I thought it would be, but that is no problem. Also, both of the car head units I'm connecting to have accessory +12v available, so I connected the LD10 straight to +12v and ground from the head unit, so I had no problems with ground loop noise. (That high pitched whine you sometimes when you are driving.) I've only had the LD10 for a couple of days, so time will tell how well it holds up, but I've used other PAC branded modules in the past and have had no problems with them.
