The crossover limits the frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies for which they have been optimally designed.The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter) of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or lows).Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive network may not be necessary. If you are unsure about this point, please consult your authorized Alpine dealer.• HPF (high pass filter): Cuts the lower frequencies and allows the higher frequencies to pass.• LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the lower frequencies to pass.• Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one octave.• The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes.• Adjust the slope to FLAT to bypass the HP or LP filters.• Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency, as it may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency content.• Adjustment should be made according to the recommended crossover frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the recommended crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers.For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer to the respective Owner’s Manual. We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused by using the crossover outside the recommended value.Adjusting the Ring Tone LevelVolume SettingSetting the Microphone EffectDefault Sound SettingsCut-off frequency (1/3 octave steps) Slope LevelHPF LPF HPF LPFSubwoofer(LPF) ---- 20 Hz - 200 Hz ---- 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 dB/oct.0 to–12 dBRearspeaker(HPF)20 Hz - 200 Hz ---- 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 dB/oct. ---- 0 to–12 dBFrontspeaker(HPF)20 Hz - 200 Hz ---- 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 dB/oct. ---- 0 to–12 dBLevel adjusting(0 to –12 dB)Output frequency range Output frequency rangeSlope adjusting20 Hz (Different from actual display) LPF cut-off frequencyHPF cut-off frequencyLow range High rangeSlope FLATSubwoofer Rear speakerFront speaker200 Hz
35-ENAbout Time CorrectionThe distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the sound reaching the listener’s right versus the left ear.To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers closest to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased distance for those speakers. The listener can be placed at an equal distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging.The adjustment will be made for each speaker in 3.4 cm steps.Adjust the time correction level of the front left speaker to a high value and the rear right to zero or a low value.The sound is not balanced because the distance between the listening position and the various speakers is different.The difference in distance between the front left speaker and the rear right speaker is 1.75 m (68-7/8").Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the diagram on the above.Conditions:Farthest Speaker – listening position : 2.25 m (88-9/16")Front left speaker – listening position : 0.5 m (19-11/16")Calculation: L = 2.25 m – 0.5 m = 1.75 m (68-7/8")Time correction = 1.75 ÷ 343* × 1,000 = 5.1 (ms)*Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20°CIn other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.1 ms makes it seem as if its distance from the listener is the same as the distance to the farthest speaker.Time correction eliminates the differences in the time required for the sound to reach the listening position.The time of the front left speaker is corrected by 5.1 ms so that its sound reaches the listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.1Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.2Calculate the difference between the distance correction value to the farthest speaker and the other speakers.L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other speakers)These values are the time correction values for the different speakers. Setting these values to make each sound reach the listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers.Time Correction Value ListExample 1. Listening Position: Front Left SeatExample 2.

Download the software from the Alpine website and update the product using the USB flash drive.Updating this productCheck the Alpine website for details on updating. http://www.alpine-usa.comImportant information on the softwareAbout the software license of the productThe software installed in the product contains open-source software.See the following Alpine website for details on the open source software.http://www.alpine.com/e/oss/downloadAbout the Supported Formats What is MP3?MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3,” is a compression standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardisation Organisation and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.What is WMA?WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compressed audio data.WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.What is AAC?AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding,” and is a basic format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.What is FLAC?FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio file codec for lossless compression, developed and offered as open source software. Codecs with lossy compression forms, such as MP3 and AAC, reduce part of the data to improve compression efficiency. However, FLAC can reconstruct compressed data to be an identical copy of the original data by performing lossless compression. The compression ratio of FLAC is about 50%.Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) filesAudio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files, refer to the user’s manual for that software.MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files that are playable on this device have the file extensions.MP3: “mp3”WMA: “wma”AAC: “m4a”FLAC: ”flac”/”fla”WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio Professional, Windows Media Audio 10 std or Windows Media Audio 10 Pro Lossless.There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed above. It’s possible that the format may be unplayable even though the extension is valid.

(The following numbers may differ from actually displayed numbers.)TerminologyBit rateThis is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.Sampling rateThis value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.EncodingConverting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.TagSong information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB flash drive) files.Root folderThe root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically for all burned discs.The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root directory).
