Press Releases

Torrance, Calif. (Jan. 10, 2018) – New sound systems products were introduced today by Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. at the 2018 International CES, taking place from Jan. 9-12 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Making their debut are the S-Series speakers and subwoofers, and the Tough Power Pack amplifiers.

“The Alpine name has been synonymous with great sound since the brand started more than 50 years ago,” said Mike Anderson, vice president and general manager, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. “We’re pleased to offer a wide variety of speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers that meet various systems and budgets but which all deliver the sound quality that Alpine is known for.”

S-Series Speakers
The new S-Series speakers replace the previous Type-S models. The larger voice coil and new cone material of the S-Series speakers emphasize the line’s sound quality at an entry level price. The 6.5-inch and 6x9-inch speakers have a 35mm voice coil, which increases their driving power and control. The S-Series speakers are the first in the industry to use a material called CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic), a lightweight yet rigid material that delivers accurate and efficient performance. Alpine’s patented HAMR (High Amplitude Multi-Roll) Surround is now found on the S-Series speakers, allowing for large amounts of air movement with unmatched control and accuracy.

S-Series Subwoofers
The debut of an 8-inch subwoofer adds to the versatility of the S-Series subwoofer lineup. The 10 and 12-inch subwoofers use a new design that’s almost 1-inch shallower than their predecessors, thereby making all the models good candidates for systems with limited space. The subwoofers have an improved power rating of up to 600W RMS power handling and are a good match for the MRV-M500 mono amplifier.

Tough Power Pack Amplifiers
The Tough Power Pack Amplifiers represent a new category and consist of the 4-channel KTA-30FW and the mono KTA-30MW. Both models are weather resistant (IP66 rated) and feature a high-quality waterproof connector, making them ideal for use in exposed areas such as side-by-sides, boats, open-top vehicles and motorcycles. The amplifiers have a small footprint so they can be tucked away under the dash or other compact areas. They use Alpine’s exclusive Dynamic Pulse Power (DPP) technology which delivers bursts of power during rigorous musical passages. When the amplifier senses that more power is required, the power supply quickly increases the internal gain level, effectively doubling the power for a significant increase in music volume.

R-Series
The loud and fun R-Series products deliver dependable performance and quality sound. The speakers use an improved ring-type tweeter with a high efficiency voice coil that is designed for best tonal balance in the high frequency range, resulting in improved overall sound quality and more listening excitement. The subwoofers are rated at 750W RMS and are a great match with the PDR-M65 Mono Power Density Amplifier, creating a powerful and dynamic subwoofer package.

X-Series and Alpine ID

Each X-Series product has been designed to optimally perform with the others when installed together in a sound system. Key features include:

• Speakers: The X-Series speakers combine premium materials and modern engineering to powerfully and accurately reproduce well-staged sound. Advanced technologies like the nano-fiber cone, radial ring magnet circuit, and carbon graphite tweeter allow the speakers to maintain linearity and accuracy for a realistic sound stage.
• Subwoofers: The 12-inch X-Series subwoofer has the largest Xmax in its category resulting in huge air movement and bass output; 24mm in one direction resulting in almost 50mm of total cone travel. The motor structure and suspension are designed to support the large Xmax while maintaining accuracy and tonality. The powerful motor overcomes the massive air pressure created by small sealed enclosures, thereby allowing the subwoofers to be installed into smaller enclosures and retaining valuable space in today’s vehicles.
• Amplifiers: The amplifiers output 20-30% more than their rated power and feature class-leading minimum phase shift and signal to noise, to deliver music like the artist intended. The thermodynamically engineered heat sink efficiently dissipates heat while the intelligent management system guarantees reliable operation. Even under the harshest conditions, the amplifier will gradually roll back power until it recovers for never shut-down performance and non-stop music.
