Alpine’s exclusive MediaXpander technology makes every source sound better by enhancing the frequency ranges where the source is likely to suffer sound degradation. It is especially effective with compressed music sources like MP3 and WMA, where it restores the higher frequency ranges, improving signal contrast.

If you prefer to do sound tuning yourself, the processor provides various manual tuning functions. 6-channel Digital Time Correction lets you compensate for speaker placement so you hear all channels at the same time. You can also customize the sound with a selectable 7-band graphic equalizer or 5-band parametric equalizer, 3-way/2-way crossover and subwoofer phase selection. You can manually toggle between MediaXpander with all these great sound control adjustments and IMPRINT to tune your sound the way you want.

Alpine has combined their in-vehicle sound system expertise with Audyssey’s acoustical technology to deliver a sound system hardware-plus-software platform with breakthrough equalization technology. IMPRINT automatically overcomes the car’s inherent acoustical challenges, and improves the sound stage, tonal balance, and definition.
