Alpine F#1 Status - Full Spec Hi Res Complete Sound System
Studio Recording-level Sound for your Vehicle!
Digital recording continues to progress towards higher Bit and sampling rates. While some recording studios record as high as 384kHz/32Bit, the convenience of lower-resolution files with sampling rates of 44.1khz/16Bit found in CDs or highly compressed music from streaming services has become widely accepted as “good enough.” However, much of the original content is lost when playing music at these lower sampling rates than originally recorded. High-Resolution audio was created to address the listener’s desire to enjoy music as the artist originally intended. AlpineF#1Status was designed as the first complete vehicle sound system capable of not only reproducing this full-spec High-Resolution sound but doing so in the difficult environment that the inside of a vehicle presents.
Four High-End DSPs Optimizethe Speaker System
In traditional car audio systems, the distance of the driver’s seat from each speaker is asymmetrical due to limited speaker installation locations. The discrepancy between the distance of the listener’s seat and the speaker positions cause the sound to arrive at the listener’s ears at different times. As a result, the sound characteristics, especially the music image, can become distorted and diverge from the artist's original intention. Unlike a home audio system, it is difficult, if not impossible, to position car audio speakers for an optimal listening environment. Therefore, a car audio system must feature precision tuning capabilities to ensure High-Resolution playback. Additionally, High-accuracy sound tuning that’s tailored to a vehicle’s interior environment can achieve accurate phasing (synchronization), provide a three-dimension stereo experience and create a balanced frequency range that’s faithful to the original recording and emulates a live performance. That’s why AlpineF#1Status is equipped with four of the industry’s highest-spec digital sound processors (DSP) running at up to 1GHz/64Bit, with the processing power of a high-end computer’s central processing unit (CPU), to achieve accurate sound tuning for High-Resolution audio playback at 384kHz/32Bit. The results are “Perfect Synchronization” and music that says faithful to the artist's original intentions.
Unifying Speaker Tones withCarbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastics
Conventional car audio speakers are made with optimized materials and a structure suited to the specific frequency range they are designed to reproduce. However, due to these differences, the characteristics and tone differ from speaker to speaker causing instruments and vocals that have wider frequency ranges to have subtle changes when they are played with multiple speakers. To unify the tones of the speakers, AlpineF#1Status combined the designs by using a single material called Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP). CFRP is a lightweight, yet highly rigid material that is five to six times stronger than steel and three to four times stronger than aluminum of the same mass. More often used in aerospace and professional video equipment, CFRP now serves as the cone material in AlpineF#1Status speakers. Because of its structure, CFRP is the optimal choice for High-Resolution audio playback.
By maintaining the details produced in a recording studio, the AlpineF#1Status system delivers music just as the artist intended resulting in the excitement of a live music performance.
