The Car's Inherent Challenges
Car interiors are a challenging acoustical environment for listening to music. There are many components that obstruct and degrade the quality of sound reproduction. All of this leads to an unbalanced sound stage.








The IMPRINT Solution
Introducing IMPRINT. IMPRINT technology automatically overcomes the car’s inherent acoustical challenges, and improves the sound stage, tonal balance, and definition.

The Process
  • It is the only system that measures the entire listening area, capturing frequency and time domain information from each listening location, and then applying a proprietary method for combining this information to represent all seat locations. This results in a maximized listening experience in all seats.
  • It automatically measures and corrects all factory sound processing, both time and frequency problems simultaneously, resulting in improved sound stage and smoother, more natural sound.

  • It uses dynamic frequency allocation to apply hundreds of points of correction to those areas where the sound problems are greatest. This results in better sound using less computing resources (MIPS) Millions of Instructions per Second than other systems.


  • It determines optimized blending points for low-frequency crossovers.

  • The PXA-H100 upgrades Alpine IMPRINT Ready head units and AV head units with the IMPRINT Sound Engine. It uses a USB connection to a PC, and dedicated software and microphone to allow your dealer to quickly achieve acoustic calibration that would normally take a tuning professional many hours or even days to do.


The End Result
IMPRINT offers an unparalleled custom sound experience:

  • Better sound stage, image and sound quality – in all seats for all musical content.
  • A faster, repeatable tuning process for car manufacturers, resulting in a consistent high quality listening experience in any vehicle platform.
  • A hardware-plus-software solution for adding sound quality value to vehicle engineering and marketing.
