Alpine PDX-F4

4/3/2 Channel Power Density Digital Amplifier

Meet the New Amp Benchmark – Taking Digital Sound to a New Level

Introducing the all-new Alpine PDX-F4 amplifier (4 x 100w RMS), designed and engineered for ultimate sound quality, power, performance and reliability.

Noteworthy Mention:

 The Alpine PDX Series is a recipient of the 2010 CES Innovations honors award. Every  year at the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, the Consumer Electronics  Show (CES), the Innovations Designs and Engineering Awards program recognizes the  most innovative consumer electronics products, such as the PDX Series for the In-Vehicle  Audio category.

The new Alpine PDX-F4 Series amplifier is completely re-engineered for performance, sound quality, and reliability. The Alpine PDX-F4 amplifier is for the true car audio enthusiast, all from a compact size. Consider the bar raised.

This sleek and stylish amplifier has been re-designed from the ground up to deliver an amplifier that not only looks amazing, it perform flawlessly.

Incorporating new technology to maximise sonic quality, the new PDX amplifiers deliver extremely low distortion levels, wide bandwidth and industry leading S/N ratios.

The new PDX amplifiers have an exceptionally high damping factor, more than 500 for the 4-channel Alpine PDX-F4.

What’s more, the all-new PDX amplifiers are 20% smaller than the first generation models and their unique stacking design allows for a large multi amplifier system to be installed virtually anywhere.   These new PDX amplifiers are for the true car audio enthusiast, providing exceptional sound quality and performance.

The all-new PDX series are the first ever class-D amplifiers to triumph sound purity and power efficiency. With precision design and UltraBlu technology PDX deliver unsurpassed definition. Rivalling even the best high-end amplifiers, PDX set the benchmark with a frequency range of 5Hz-400Hz (mono) and 5Hz-100kHz (4ch).

Unique to PDX, distortion decreases at higher frequencies, resulting in a clean signal where your ear is most sensitive to distortion. -<0.005% THD+N @ 1W, <0.05% THD+N @ rated power.

What’s more, PDX are capable of S/N ratios up to 123dB S/N ar rated power for unprecedented clarity. Delivering ultra-low impedance, PDX are highly stable for tight bass and superb sound with a dampening factor rating at >1000 (Mono) and >500 (4ch).

With tremendous headroom and low distortion, PDX have a high total system efficiency of ~80% (power supply >90%, output stage >90%).

PDX. The new rival in audiophile amplifiers.

Power Output to the Extreme (cont.)

Power Management Processor

PDX amps incorporate Alpine’s new Power Management circuit. The Power Management Processor controls all aspects of amplifier performance, monitoring voltage, temperature and output to ensure uninterrupted power output for non-stop listening.

If the amp gets too hot, the Thermal Protection circuit kicks in and gradually decreases output power until it cools down. Once cool, the power output automatically increases back to the previous level. If the circuit detects a Low Battery condition, it will gradually decrease power output if battery voltage becomes too low. Once the battery voltage increases, power will be restored. This interruption-free design allows for non-stop enjoyment with no hiccups or drop-outs, just clean, clear output.

• Low Battery Protection

Application Flexibility

Unique Stacking System

The new PDX series amplifiers are 20% thinner than previous models at only 2” thick. New stacking system packs the amps closer together so there are no gaps and to save space in the trunk while directly coupling the amps heatsinks to help share cooling duties.

Speaker terminals

The super high power speaker connectors allow for up to 8GA wiring and have a unique quick disconnect design for simple error-free installation.

Power Connector

The new removable connector features a low-loss, high-current design. It accepts up to 4GA wire, to ensure your amp gets the power it needs while allowing for easy installation.

Remote Control Bass Knob (RUX-KNOB)

Simply add the RUX-KNOB (sold separately),and get full control from the dash for remote on-the-fly bass adjustments. You also have the ability to control multiple amps from just one controller with simple telephone cord adapters.

A Touch of Personalization

PDX amplifiers come with removable trim rings, allowing them to be easily custom painted to match your vehicle or personalized to anything you want. Add it as another Do-It-Yourself project, or leave it to professionals and ask an Authorized Alpine retailer/installer near you.
