About
IMPRINT
Alpine introduces IMPRINT - the world's first technology that
thoroughly eliminates in-car acoustic problems that normally degrade
sound quality, which enables us
to
experience music the way the artist
intended.
All good music starts as
an
artist's vision: After countless hours
of
rehearsing, recording and mixing, that vision is ready for us
to
hear on
discs, radio and other media. But do
we
hear
it
as
the artist created it?
Unfortunately, the reality is that we are almost never able
to
listen
to
it
in
the exact way the artist intended. Especially when we are listening
in
a car.
Car interiors are full
of
materials that obstruct and degrade sound
quality. For example, windows amplify and reflect high frequencies.
Seat and dashboard coverings change certain frequencies. Carpets
absorb and suppress mid frequencies. Graphic and parametric EQs are
only partial remedies for these problems.
In
addition, the speakers are
not located at equal distances from listeners, creating
an
unbalanced,
uncentred sound stage. Time correction can help fix this, but only for
one listening position.

These acoustical problems are so severe that no correction system has
been able to overcome them. Until now, with the introduction of
IMPRINT, Alpine provides a hardware/software combination that not
only solves these problems,
it
actually improves the sound stage, tonal
balance and definition - and does
it
automatically,
in
a matter
of
minutes!
IMPRINT using MultEQ is superior to other equalization systems
in
five ways.
•
It
is
the only system that measures the entire listening area,
capturing time domain information from each listening
location and applying a proprietary method for processing it
to represent
all
seat locations. This gives the people
in
each
seat the optimal listening experience.
•
It
corrects both time and frequency problems, for
an
improved soundstage and smoother, more natural sound.
•
It
uses dynamic frequency allocation
to
apply hundreds of
points of correction to those areas where the sound problems
are greatest.
•
It
determines optimized blending points for low frequency
crossovers.
It
provides,
in
minutes, vehicle sound tuning that generally
takes skilled professionals days to accomplish.
