IMPRINT Operation (Optional) Alpine introduces IMPRINT - the world’s first technology that thoroughly eliminates in-car acoustic problems that normally degrade sound quality, which enables us to experience music the way the artist intended, refer to “About IMPRINT” (page 35). When the IMPRINT-BOX (PXA-H100) (sold separately) is connected to this unit, MultEQ and the following sound adjustment can be performed.
Adjusting Sound Setting in Manual Mode You can change these sound settings to create your own preference when the MultEQ mode is set to MultEQ off (Manual Mode). Setting the Subwoofer System When the subwoofer is on, you can select either System1 or System2 for the desired subwoofer effect. 1 (Initial setting) Use steps 1 to 4 to select one of the Sound menu modes to modify. See the applicable section below for details about the selected item. 1 2 Press IMPRINT to activate the Sound menu selection mode.
Setting the Response Slope for the High Range Speaker (TW Setup) Depending on the response characteristics of the speaker, care should be taken when setting the response slope of the high range speaker to FLAT in 2.2ch (3WAY) mode (see “Adjusting the Crossover Settings” on page 31), as speaker damage may result. MAKER’S (Initial setting ) USER’S MAKER’S: As protection from possible speaker damage, FLAT cannot be set for the response slope of the high range speaker in 2.2ch (3WAY) mode.

Depending on the response characteristics of the speaker, care should be taken when setting the response slope to FLAT, as speaker damage may result.
Time Correction Value List About Time Correction The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the sound reaching the listener’s right versus the left ear. To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers closest to the listener.
Level adjusting Output frequency range (0 to -12 dB) About the Crossover Crossover (X-OVER): This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies for which they have been optimally designed. The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or lows).
About IMPRINT INTRODUCING IMPRINT These acoustical problems are so severe that no correction system has been able to overcome them. Until now, with the introduction of IMPRINT, Alpine provides a hardware/software combination that not only solves these problems, it actually improves the sound stage, tonal balance and definition - and does it automatically, in a matter of minutes! VISION VS. REALITY All good music starts as an artist’s vision.
