Pune : Lumax – DK Jain Group and Alps Alpine Asia Co. Ltd. unveiled the most Premium range of Alpine Car Sound System worth Rs 29,99,999/- (Twenty Nine Lakh Ninety Nine Thousand Nine Hundred & Ninety Nine) for the Indian market through a Demo car exhibiting the Alpine F#1 status system.
The First Ever Full Spec. Hi Res. Car Sound System – the Alpine F#1 Status was introduced along with New Range for 2022-23 which included Alpine Status System & New series of Display Audio Units in 7”, 9” and 11” sizes.
Last year in July 2021, Alpine (synonymous with premium quality sound and technological innovation) joined hands with Lumax-DK Jain Group to establish the distribution and marketing channel for their products in India. Lumax-Alpine now offers the most premium & diverse range of Best-in-Class Car Audio Systems for the Indian market.
The new Alpine F#1 Status system aims to deliver the experience and excitement of a live music performance on the go. Developed through the culmination of knowledge and technical expertise gathered over the years as a premium sound system supplier, AlpineF#1Status is a complete premium car audio system that embodies Alpine’s vision of “ Emotion in Mobility ”, by delivering an unparalleled music experience. It provides listeners with the emotional experience of a live performance, transforming a space used for transportation into a superior acoustic environment. Understandably, the unending pursuit of Premium Sound Quality is what makes the new Alpine F#1 Status, so special.
To create accurate sound reproduction, development was focused on three critical parameters: Time scale synchronization of audio signal transmission, sound arrival and custom tone frequency range of a 4-way speaker system.
1. High-Resolution Audio Playback and Playback Environment
With this announcement Alpine has set a global first in the car audio history with AlpineF#1Status as it achieves 384kHz/32bit playback. With 17.4 times more information than a CD, it offers the listeners smooth and fluid quality experience, exclusive to a live performance or recording studio level sound experience within a vehicle, way beyond the CD.
2. High-resolution audio
384kHz high-resolution audio allows playback of ultrahigh tonal ranges up to 192kHz, unfortunately humans can hear frequencies only up to 20kHz. This limits the human audio experience causing compromises in the original sound wave, which is different from the original.
Alpine High-resolution audio is reproduced by incorporating frequency ranges earlier unheard by the human ear, now providing a richer expression in high tonal ranges, expanding the sense of detail and depth of the music. Additionally, high-resolution audio reproduction is clean sound with minimal distortion, even when the music is played at high volumes.
3 . Perfect Synchronization for a Live Feel
I. Perfect Digital Signal Timing with the Master Clock Management System.
II. Four High End DSPs optimize the speaker system
III. Unifying Speaker Tones with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP)
Sharing his views at the unveiling, Mr. Mizuki Kanai, Alpine Asia Brand Business , Senior Manager said, “Based on Premium Quality Sound, Alpine offers best in class infotainment solutions. Backed by advanced technology and relentless research, the products offer customisation, connectivity and communication. Being a global brand serving customers from more than 100 countries, Alpine now aims to provide the Indian music lovers with best-in-class music experience”.
