Corrected Sound with IMPRINT
Behind the innovative IMPRINT Sound processing is a key technology called MultEQ. It analyses the
acoustic characteristics of your car interior, and then creates a set of equalisation fi lters to correct for
frequency response and time delay problems for each speaker in your car. MultEQ applies processing
to over 500 specifi c frequencies in the audio spectrum, correcting the sound to perfectly match your
listening environment with incredible precision. The result is that everyone in the car hears the music
with superb clarity and imaging.

The acoustical problems inside the car
are overwhelming, and no system has
been able to truly correct them – until now. Alpine’s sophisti-
cated IMPRINT Sound technologies, including AntEQ and MultEQ,
provide a hardware/software combination that not only solves
these problems, but actually improves the sound stage, tonal
balance and defi nition – automatically, in a matter of minutes!

Factory System Upgrading
You love music and you know good sound when you hear it. When you play your
music on an audio system, you expect to be able to hear it with all the power, clarity
and subtle expressive nuances of the original. Unfortunately, nothing dashes those
expectations more thoroughly than the sonic environment of the car.
The car interior is full of materials that actively distort and degrade the sound.
Windows amplify and refl ect high frequencies. Seat and dashboard coverings
change certain frequencies. Carpets absorb and suppress mid frequencies.
These problems are far too complex to be solved by simple equalisation.
In addition, since the speakers are located at different distances from the
listeners, the sound stage created in the car is unbalanced and asymmetrical.
