Audiophile Grade Components

A few years ago, Alpine released the AlpineF#1Status series of ultra-high performance audio components. Many of the lessons learned from developing those models, about high-grade parts and how to apply them, are now being put to good use in products like the Alpine PXA-H800GC. One example is the use of four Wolfson 24-Bit D/A converters, which are generally found only in professional recording systems and help to ensure superb detail and soundscape. Another is the use of two 32-Bit floating-point SHARC DSP’s, which precisely reproduce the sound source with no degredation. Other top quality parts are a 6-layer PCB and a 24-Bit A/D converter for high quality RCA input and 114dB dynamic range at the device level.

ImprintEQ with Post-Tuning Adjustment

ImprintEQ is a hardware/software combination that can completely overcome the acoustical problems present in every vehicle interior. It optimises the sound stage, tonal balance and definition automatically, in just a few minutes. After the tuning is complete, you can manually tweak the settings if you desire.

Time Correction and Digital Crossover

Digital Time Correction lets you achieve optimum sound staging by ensuring that the sounds from all speakers reach your ears at the same time. Up to 8 channels can be corrected automatically or manually, from 0 to 20ms in 5ms steps. Digital high pass and low pass filters allow you to set slopes from 0 to -36, with gain from -24 to 0dB. You can customise your system with the exact frequency crossovers you want.

Extensive EQ Capabilities

The Alpine PXA-H800GC provides both graphic and parametric equalisation. The graphic EQ provides 31 bands for each of the five channels, plus 10 bands for the subwoofer, with gain from -12 to +12dB. The parametric EQ lets you select a band and then adjust the output level and width for precise tuning. You get 10 bands for each of the five channels, plus five for the subwoofer, with detailed Q settings and gain from -12 to +12dB.

With the Alpine PXA-H800GC, you can enjoy a true 5.1-channel surround sound experience just like you get from your home cinema system.

Alpine PXA-H800GC has True 5.1-channel Surround Sound

You can hear multi-channel sound from movie and music sources in the Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround formats. The unit also provides Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, so you can even enjoy stereo recordings in surround sound.

Bi-Phantom Centre Speaker

Even if you don’t have a centre speaker, you can still enjoy 5.1-channel sound. Alpine has included a Bi-Phantom function, which uses the front left and right channels to create a phantom centre channel, enhancing vocal quality.

Factory System Upgrading

For those who want to retain their factory head unit, the Alpine PXA-H800GC is a great way to upgrade the system with more sources and better sound quality.

Six Speaker-Level Inputs

With six speaker-level inputs, you can connect six channels of sound from a head unit and other components that do not have preamp outputs. There’s no need for seperate line output converters.

Add More Media Sources

With two Ai-NET connections, two optical digital inputs and six-channel RCA inputs, you’ll have no problem adding components for front and rear sear entertainment. And of course, with the PXA-H800GC in your system, you’re assured of much higher sound quality than any factory system can provide.

ImprintEQ

The Alpine PXA-H800GC turns any factory head unit into a sophisticated ImprintEQ audio system, with sound that is perfectly clear and precisely balanced for the best possible tonal response and imaging in your vehicle. If you’re serious about upgrading your system, start with the Alpine PXA-H800GC.

Additional Sound Tuning Capabilities

Demonstrating its full commitment to mobile sonic excellence, Alpine packed more technologies in the Alpine PXAH800GC, including the ability to do fine-tuning on a PC.

Fine Tuning via PC

Connect your PC to the Alpine PXAH800GC with a USB cable and you can get a cool-looking, easy to use GUI that lets you make detailed audio adjustments. You can also store numerous settings on the computer, for later selection or even for various different vehicles.

Alpine PXA-H800GC features Road EQ

Even superior sound can be degraded by problems like road noise, wind noise and air conditioner noise. RoadEQ uses a microphone to record the music plus noise inside the vehicle. It compares the original and recorded signals, then creates frequency-specific level adjustments to cancel the noise components. A powerful processor performs these operations at 48,000 times per second.
