Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. has announced the shipping of its highly anticipated AlpineF#1Status Multimedia System components. With the introduction of these two key flagship products under the AlpineF#1Status concept, Alpine reinforces its commitment to provide the best in-vehicle sound quality and system performance available. The first AlpineF#1Status products, the PXA-H900 Multimedia Manager and CDA-7990 CD Tuner, are establishing new benchmarks for mobile system performance. Both products optimize the sound requirements of each user and vehicle environment, giving drivers and passengers the ultimate entertainment experience. Alpine has applied advanced digital technology and processing power to achieve the most accurate sound reproduction in any vehicle.
The PXA-H900 Multimedia Manager Digital Processor and CDA-7990 CD Player are only available through qualified Alpine dealers. These dealers have gone through a vigorous training program to ensure sound excellence with all AlpineF#1Status systems and the highest level of customer satisfaction. The two-day school coached dealers with Alpine's exclusive PC software to set-up the Multimedia Manager, which is controlled through a PC interface, as well as automotive acoustics, system design and customer relations tips. Only dealers who have finished the program will be certified to sell and install the AlpineF#1Status products.
"The AlpineF#1Status system is a tribute to Alpine's storied heritage to sound quality," states Stephen Witt, Alpine's vice president of Brand Marketing. "These products have been designed to create the most sophisticated and ideal in-vehicle sound experience. To prove that we stand behind the AlpineF#1Status products, we've made our key dealers complete an intense program to make sure the system is installed and set-up properly."
The vision of the AlpineF#1Status is no-compromise thinking and extreme attention to detail. This technological approach has been named "Micro Dynamics" by Alpine's research and development team. In developing AlpineF#1Status products, Alpine engineers examined the quality and performance level of every component and selected only the best parts to achieve the pinnacle of performance required under the AlpineF#1Status guidelines. The resulting experience will astound the driver and the passengers in any AlpineF#1Status equipped vehicle.
