Alpine Unveils a 16-Channel Hi-Resolution Wireless Digital Signal Processor
Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. introduced the newest Digital
Signal Processor (DSP) to their lineup with the PXE-X09 Hi-Resolution Wireless DSP.
The PXE-X09 includes 16 channels for seamless aftermarket sound integration and
tuning tools that correct acoustical abnormalities in vehicle interiors. The
PXE-X09 debuted today during the 2020 International CES, taking place at the
Las Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 7-10.
“The PXE-X09 is for the discerning audio consumers who are looking
for a better music experience in their vehicle,” said Mike Anderson, Vice President
and General Manager, Brand Business Unit, Alpine Electronics
of America, Inc. “Its versatile application
with a factory or aftermarket system makes it the ideal sound upgrade. Consumers
can access the onboard tone generator from their smartphone for on-the-fly
adjustments.”
OEM
Integration
The PXE-X09 has the necessary tools for OEM system integration. The
processor is versatile and can be used with a factory system, Alpine head unit,
or other aftermarket head unit while adding aftermarket amplifiers or speakers through
the flexibility of the 16-channel multi-use inputs
The PXE-X09 includes a built-in Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) to gauge
the sound system’s performance in reference to how it responds to the
acoustical abnormalities in the vehicle. Ten bands of equalization per channel can flatten the input signal
for real-time sound adjustments to develop a well-balanced response and proper
center sound stage.
PC
and Smartphone Control
Building off the success of the
PXE-0850’s HMI (Human-Machine Interface), the PXE-X09 includes PC and smartphone
control for real-time, wireless tuning adjustments using Bluetooth® technology and the “PXE-X09” smartphone or PC app (available
on the App Store® and Google Play™).
The included remote controller
with rotary knob can be installed on the dashboard for quick volume and bass adjustments
and source selection. Music can be streamed using the PXE-X09’s Bluetooth® connection and played through
the existing speakers.
On-Board
Quick Setup
The PXE-X09
includes a configuration wizard that gives quick identification to the components
in the factory system then appropriately sums the channels to get a full-range
signal.
The PXE-X09 will ship in March for $1,500 SRI and will be for sale
at Alpine Authorized retailers or online at www.alpine-usa.com
through Crutchfield. Installation options can be found on the Alpine-USA
website through the store locator.
