3ft Chasing LED Whip Light

The MPS-CHWP-1 is designed for ATVs, UTVs, dune buggies, and other powersports applications. It is strong enough to withstand some of the most extreme off-roading environments with an IP67 rating. In addition, it is stylish yet durable, constructed with a weather-resistant polyolefin cover and a bendable polycarbonate core that is virtually unbreakable.

Chasing LED Underglow Lighting Kit

The MPS-UNDG-KT1 includes (4) 9” and (2) 28” sealed polycarbonate LED tubes, mounting hardware, a Heise Connect Chasing Controller, RF card remote, and extension cables to make installation easy. The Chasing tube layout was designed to separate the left and right sides of the vehicle so that when a pattern is selected within the app, that lighting pattern will track down each side of the vehicle with the same timing. Additionally, the turn signals are zoned so that they have independent left and right triggers.

Heise Connect Chasing Controller

This controller provides 12volt triggers for the option to turn lights red when the vehicle is braking and amber for turn signal indication. Users can choose from 170+ color-changing patterns using the Heise Connect smartphone app with DIY lighting patterns, music sync, and more.

These productswill be on display at the Las Vegas Convention Center at Metra's 2022 SEMA Show booths, November 1st-4th.

Auburn Hills, Mich. (Nov 1, 2022) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”)  is now shipping the Alpine Status HDS-990 Hi-Res Digital Media Player, HDP-D90 14-Channel Hi-Res Digital Sound Processor, and three Hi-Res Amplifiers including a Mono-Power Amplifier (HDA-M80), 5-Channel Amplifier (HDA-V90), and 4-Channel Amplifier (HDA-F60). The Alpine Status line uses trickle-down technology from the Ultra-High-Resolution AlpineF#1Status system that, when used as a complete system, achieves High-Resolution sound at a more approachable and accessible price point.

Incredible Realism

The HDS-990 is a high-performance digital media player that can reproduce music at the Hi-Res audio spec of 192kHz/24Bit, the highest quality playback via a direct USB cable connection.

The HDS-990 includes two components: a commander unit with the iconic Alpine six-chiclet design that controls various sound and music settings and a separate black box that includes a wide range of feature suites for inputs and outputs that allow for convenient integration into any type of factory or aftermarket sound system.

The commander unit can be used as a standalone music source or integrated with a factory or aftermarket head unit. With multiple digital source inputs, the HDS-990 can play a wide range of digital music file formats from MP3 to Hi-Res for flexible playback options.

System Powerhouse

The HDP-D90 is a powerful 14-channel digital sound processor. Custom-developed for Hi-Res playback, the processor has an internal sampling rate of 192kHz/64Bit and an ultra-wide audio bandwidth of 10Hz-110kHz for recording studio-level sound. A copper-plated chassis brings the signal-to-noise ratio to >110dB and minimizes noise and distortion during playback for music that is true to the source.

The HDP-D90 includes a 14-channel processor and a built-in 12-Channel Amplifier. Multiple source inputs allow for flexible system building with an option to retain a factory head unit, add an aftermarket head unit, and add the Alpine Status HDS-990 Digital Media Player. The processor can also receive music sent directly from a smartphone via Bluetooth® wireless streaming.

When paired together, the HDS-990 and HDP-D90 allow the listener to build and tune their ideal sound system. With 12-channels of amplified outputs, the HDP-D90 can be used as a standalone power source or using 10 channels of RCA output, can add Alpine Status Amplifiers for a customized system configuration, including the HDA-F60 4-Channel Amplifier, HDA-V90 5-Channel Amplifier, or HDA-M80 Mono Power Amplifier.

The Alpine Status Amplifiers were intentionally designed to provide impressive power output to the system while ensuring the purest audio performance. Design features like a high-efficiency digital circuit, copper-plated chassis, and black circuit board contribute to precise sound reproduction while Alpine-exclusive technology like a dual-negative feedback control circuit improves linearity for the most accurate sound amplification. Quick-connect power and speaker connectors make adding the Alpine Status amplifiers to a system easy.

The Alpine Status Digital Media Player, Digital Sound Processor, and Amplifiers are the next of eight more components to release from the Alpine Status line, following the HDZ-653 and HDZ-65C speakers that shipped in September, and are now available at Alpine Authorized retailers and at Preferred Online Stores.

These powerful Pro Audio models will be available in 3 mono versions: MJP1000.1, MJP1500.1 & MJP3000.1 as well as a powerful 800 Watt 4-channel model (MJP800.4). All MOJO Pro amplifiers are designed with an extruded aluminum chassis with exposed aluminum accents and a vibrant orange accent strip which is befitting of anything bearing the MOJO name. The mono amplifiers are strapable allowing users to combine amplifiers to churn out absurd amounts of power to drive any pro audio system to the limits.

“We have been players in the pro audio game for a good while now and we know just how hot this category has become. Our dealers have been doing a lot of multi-speaker pro audio builds and have been asking for higher powered amps to meet their customers demands. We did what we always do and listed to our dealers and purpose-built these amplifiers to meet their needs. These things look and perform great and we’re confident based on the feedback that MOJO Pro amplifiers will be a huge success for our dealers,” said Nick LoMonaco, president of Memphis Audio.

Memphis tower speakers featuring ATACTM will debut live at SEMA 2022 in the Memphis Audio booth 11039 and will be available in early 2023

October 27, 2022 -- Memphis Audio takes a bold new innovative approach to tower speakers with its new groundbreaking tweeter array design. This patented Memphis Tweeter Array known as ATACTM (Advanced Tweeter Array Construction) is unlike anything ever seen before on a tower speaker. Memphis has opted to ditch the traditional compression horn tweeter for their vastly superior new patented tweeter array design.

The main principle behind the ATACTM technology is fairly simple: Standard compression horn tower speakers have a horn in the center of the woofer resulting in a less efficient woofer. The decrease in efficiency is due to the gasket used to seal the gap between the woofer and the horn. This gasket adds weight to the center of the cone negatively impacting the cones performance. The gap in the center of the woofer also reduces effective surface area which means the woofer moves less air, less air means less output.

By using the bridged tweeter array, Memphis has freed up significant surface area on the cone and reduced a great deal of weight from the center resulting in a significant boost in SPL. In addition to a boost in mid bass, the tweeter array design also excels in tweeter performance due to the innovative nature of the design. Instead of a single horn tweeter, the array design allows for a greater number of individual tweeters in a curved design much like one would see in a high dispersion line array concert speaker.

Memphis 10” tower speakers are equipped with 4 tweeters while the 8” towers have 3 tweeters. The individual tweeters produce a less erratic frequency response than traditional compression drivers which allows Memphis ATACTM to provide more output and a balanced frequency response. In short, this means that the array design produces a better sound with more output. The curved nature of the tweeter array broadens the angle of dispersion leaving you with a better sounding experience from any angle behind your boat.

Another key benefit of this design is huge improvement in durability versus standard compression horn towers. The absence of a center mounted compression horn allows for a completely sealed tower speaker leaving nowhere for water to enter the speaker. This is particularly beneficial in salt water and marine applications which can quickly degrade a traditional tower speaker.

Memphis ATACTM tower speakers are available in an 8” 3-tweeter array design and a 10” 4-tweeter array design and will be dressed in two color options, a brilliant white or a dark black. Both the woofer and the tweeters in the array feature RGB LED lighting resulting in a vibrant lightshow that looks amazing at night. Memphis also added an integrated RGB LED ring around the side of the can itself as well as a rear RGB LED ring making this speaker shine from all angles. The backside of the tower speakers features a large RGB LED Memphis badge emblazoned on the back. Both the rear logo and the front grill can be rotated easily to accommodate any mounting angle of the speaker for an ultra-clean symmetrical look.

The DJ Diesel V2 Slingshot will be on display at SEMA 2022 in the Memphis Audio Booth #11039 in the North Hall along with a slew of new innovative product offerings from Memphis Audio

Ocotber 26, 2022 -- Memphis will unveil a fully custom Slingshot built for Shaquille O’Neil in the Memphis Audio booth 11039 at SEMA 2022. This custom Polaris Slingshot will feature a slew of Memphis Audio products with over 28 total SR Pro Audio speakers and over 5400W of RMS power making it one of the loudest Slingshots to ever hit the streets. The Insanely talented team at Underground Auto Styling out of Sarasota Florida custom fabricated everything on the build to make it worthy of DJ Diesel himself.

“This build is going to be wild. We’ve got four 10 inch mid’s, eight 8 inch mid’s, four 6.5’s, two 6x9’s and six tweeters integrated into this build, not to mention four 8 inch subs,” said Jack Polubinski, owner of Underground Autostyling. Along with a plethora of speakers, the build will feature dual VIV1500.1V2 amplifiers and four VIV600.4V2 amplifiers. The entire system is controlled by an MXAZ24MC head unit and all the speakers are digitally tuned using the VIV68DSP Digital Sound Processor.

“This isn’t the first project Memphis has worked on with Shaq, we had the honor of being part of previous custom builds for him but we wanted this one to be special. Shaq aka DJ Diesel knows how to get the crowd going and we know he wanted it loud so Memphis and the guys at Underground Autostyling went with an insane SRX Pro set up to give Shaq the loudest build on the block. I have zero doubt that this will be one of the most insane builds at SEMA 2022,” said Nick LoMonaco, president of Memphis Audio.
