WARNING WARNING This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death. DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.
WARNING CAUTION PRECAUTIONS This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage. Temperature Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on. HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Center for repairing.
Basic Operation Operating the PXI-H990 The PXI-H990 is operated from the head unit with which it is used. These operating instructions describe operation with the head unit; both from the unit itself and from the remote control unit. • The operation for the PXI-H990 is performed from the head unit setup operation. See the reference page in the following chart for the head unit setting/adjustment operation method. The following is displayed on the head unit display. CROSSOVER Page 42 Page 21 MOBILE.S.
Basic Operation Using This Manual The PXI-H990 is operated from the head unit with which it is used. These operating instructions describe operation from both the DVI-9990 head unit and from the RUE-4196 remote control unit included with the head unit. When operating the main unit with the remote control supplied with the head unit, change the selector switch on the rear side of remote control to the “H/U” side. Using the multi-channel function A.

Automatic Adjustments Preparations for automatic adjustments The PXI-H990 is equipped with two automatic adjustment functions: “Road Equalizer” and “Automated Time Correction”. The preparations described below must be made in order to perform these automatic adjustments.
3 Connect the included microphone to the PXI-H990. Refer to the Installation manual. • When combined with a separately sold monitor that is Road EQ compatible and the Road Equalizer function are used, the separately sold monitor’s built-in microphone can be used. • When connecting two PXI-H990 units, connect the microphone to both units. In this case, the built-in microphone in the separately sold monitor cannot be used. 4 Secure the microphone in place.
Automatic Adjustments Preparations for automatic adjustments (continued) Hints on using the Road Equalizer function The Road Equalizer compensates for constantly changing noise, so always keep the microphones connected. The following three places are recommended to place the microphones. Also, when combining with the separately sold monitor, the built-in microphone can be used.

Supplementary information TITLE Using the Road Equalizer function Performing time correction automatically (Automated Time Correction) This page includes supplementary information for pages 12 to 24. Please refer to these pages. Description Connect both microphones if two PXI-H990s are connected.
Settings/Adjustments Performing time correction manually (Time Correction) Though sufficient correction can be achieved with the “Automated Time Correction” automatic adjustments, it is also possible for the user to calculate the correction values and make the adjustments manually. This manual adjustment requires sufficient knowledge and experience, however, so we suggest you have it performed at your authorized Alpine dealer. 1 Check that the head unit defeat mode is off.
4 Divide the distances calculated for the different speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s temperature 20°C). This value is the time correction value for the different speakers. • The speed of sound fluctuates according to the temperature. The accurate speed of sound can be achieved with the formula shown below. Speed of sound = 331.45 + C × T C: 0.607 T: Temperature (°C) • Concrete examples 1.

Settings/Adjustments Crossover network The PXI-H990 is equipped with an active dividing network allowing the bands to be split before amplification by the power amplifier. Because of this, there is no need for a passive network between the speakers and amplifiers and the amplifiers are fully independent, thus eliminating the problem of interference and making it possible to achieve the optimum acoustic space by dividing the playback frequencies in a way suited to the capacities of the speakers.
Output signals with these frequencies Slope off Slope adjustment 20 Hz 10 kHz H.P.F. cutoff frequency L.P.F. cutoff frequency The H.P.F. setting cannot be the same as or exceed the L.P.F. setting for that channel. • The crossover network is a filter that divides specific frequency bands. • The high pass filter is a filter that cuts frequencies below a certain frequency (bass frequencies) and lets through treble frequencies.
