Auburn Hills, Mich. (Jan. 9, 2025)—Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”) released the AutoEQ 2.0 update for the OPTIM™ Soud Processor line. This update adds complete smartphone control, including Android™, “Center Image Mode,” and multiple presets for the target curve.

“This new update builds on the already successful OPTIM™ technology that corrects issues in the factory system to give you a great sound output,” said Gregg Thomas, Director of National Sales for the Alpine Brand Division at Alps Alpine North America, Inc. “Now it’s even easier to achieve precise sound in the vehicle.”

The OPTIM™ line, which consists of the PXE-C80-88 OPTIM™8 8-Channel Sound Processor and Amplifier and PXE-C60-60 OPTIM™6 6-Channel Sound Processor, was first introduced in 2023 as a simplified digital sound processor (DSP) solution. With its self-guided measurement process and automatic sound tuning feature, OPTIM™ eliminated the knowledge barrier and lowered the time commitment often associated with traditional DSP solutions.

Continuing the goal of making DSP easy and accessible, the AutoEQ 2.0 update for the OPTIM™ line now allows complete smartphone control with both iPhone® and Android™ compatibility. Using the smartphone app (available on the App Store and Google Play) and Bluetooth® connection, it’s now possible to set up and tune a sound system in minutes without switching to a laptop. However, if laptop setup is desired, the OPTIM™ can also be used solely on a laptop using the PC App.

The update also added “Center Image Mode,” an option that immediately establishes an optimal listening experience in the vehicle that’s positioned at the front and center of the dash. Center Image Mode is applied at the touch of a button and adjusts the system in real-time for a noticeable impact on the sound position.

Lastly, in response to high customer demand, Alpine added three additional presets for target curve so users can easily switch between four tuning settings (target 1, target 2, target 3, and “default”) to create their ideal listening environment. An update was also made to the included OPTIM™ RUX-CSP1 controller that consolidated the controller menu and allows quick access to target curve presets.

The PXE-C80-88 OPTIM™8 and PXE-C60-60 OPTIM™6 with the new AutoEQ 2.0 software are available now and can be purchased at Alpine Authorized Retailers and Preferred Online Stores. Please check the store locator on www.alpine-usa.com for details.

Transaction Implies 163% Premium Over the Unaffected Stock Price Prior to the August 27, 2024 Announcement that the Board was exploring Strategic Alternatives

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX) ("VOXX" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of automotive and consumer technologies for the global markets, as well as strategic joint ventures including biometrics, today announced that VOXX and Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX) ("Gentex") have entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger ("Merger Agreement") for Gentex to acquire VOXX in an all-cash transaction. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Gentex will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of VOXX common stock not already owned by Gentex for $7.50 per share, representing an aggregate enterprise value of approximately $196 million.

The $7.50 per share merger consideration represents a premium of approximately 163% to the Company's unaffected closing Class A common stock price of $2.85 on August 26, 2024, the last trading day before VOXX publicly announced that its Board of Directors was conducting an exploration of strategic alternatives in an effort to maximize stockholder value, as well as the public disclosure that Gentex had made an unsolicited proposal to acquire VOXX at $5.50 per share. After several months of a robust sales process led by a transaction committee of directors unaffiliated with Gentex, working with the committee's independent financial advisor, Solomon Partners, and meeting with an extensive field of prospective purchasers, both strategic and financial, the transaction was approved unanimously by the Company's transaction committee and by the disinterested members of its Board of Directors.

Ari Shalam, Chairman of the board of directors of VOXX, stated "the transaction with Gentex ensures a seamless transition for our brands, employees, customers and partners. After a thorough and exhaustive sales process, the disinterested members of the board, the transaction committee and I unanimously support this decision, believing that it represents the best and most reliable path forward to maximize value for all VOXX stockholders. My father, John Shalam, who founded VOXX 60 years ago, and I are incredibly proud of the legacy we have built and the remarkable accomplishments of the VOXX team. We are confident that under Gentex's stewardship, VOXX's legacy will continue to thrive for the benefit of our stakeholders." 

Simultaneously with the execution of the merger agreement, John and Ari Shalam, along with certain family members, entered into a voting agreement pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares of common stock in favor of the proposed merger, with such voting obligation terminating should the Merger Agreement be validly terminated or the Board of Directors or transaction committee making a recommendation adverse to the Merger Agreement and the merger.  The Shalam family beneficially own 1,935,898 shares of Class A common stock and 2,260,954 shares of Class B common stock, representing approximately 57% of the outstanding voting power of the Company's common stock. The Shalam family will receive the same $7.50 per share merger consideration for their shares of Class A and Class B common stock as other VOXX stockholders, demonstrating their full alignment with other VOXX stockholders.

The proposed transaction, which was approved by VOXX's Board of Directors, acting on the unanimous recommendation of a transaction committee of the Board of Directors comprised entirely of directors unaffiliated with Gentex, is expected to close during the first quarter of calendar year 2025. The proposed transaction is subject to stockholder approval, receipt of anti-trust regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Advisors
Solomon Partners is serving as financial advisor to the Transaction Committee of the Board of Directors of VOXX, and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP is serving as its legal counsel. Stopol & Camelo, LLP acted as legal counsel to VOXX.  Jones Day is serving as legal counsel and Acropolis Advisors are serving as financial advisor to Gentex and its Board of Directors.

Monday, December 16th, 2024 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the VO-MBTN125. The Voice Optimized B1 (1 inch bullet tweeter) entered its fourth generation of development with another exercise in downsize engineering. The result of this successful endeavor is the all new VO-MBTN125 Micro Bullet Tweeter Neo and it comes to you as a full-on compression driver, similar in size to a radiating dome tweeter, with flush mountability, bridging the output and clarity of pro audio with the practicality of OEM design.

This journey began 10 years ago when DD introduced the B1 ferrite motor tweeter to high output VO builds. With system designers asking for a more compact unit, the second generation of the VO-B1 moved to a Neo motor for improved versatility. The third generation brought with it a reduced outer diameter, past the inner throat profile, allowing the compression driver to be mounted as a true coaxial on the VO-XN6.5 for a powerful new combo driver. With this new fourth generation, DD has retained the inner throat of the horn profile for high efficiency, and re-engineered the outer structure to the smallest possible diameter.

With a total diameter of 45mm across and a total depth of 34mm, the VO-MBTN125 is clearly compact, but there’s more than just size contributing to its overall versatility. The new cast aluminum horn tooling incorporates a removable flange and grip ring that facilitates conventional door panel mounting. A threaded bolt hole is included on the back for rear support. The low profile design has been made for use with OEM grills and off the shelf adapter plates, widening the application potential to dashboards, A / B pillar mounting, and soundbar locations previously restricted to lower-power dome tweeters.

The Voice Optimized Micro Bullet Neo Tweeter was envisioned, designed and tooled by DD AUDIO to give installers more options and listeners greater satisfaction. This innovation is one of many additions to DD’s VO Series, expanding the power and application of these legendary pro audio speakers, and it won’t be the last. Check out the tweeters, coaxials, full-range, mids, mid-woofers, and woofers added in 2024 and look for more to come in 2025.

Made for the motorcycle and UTV’s market, the XS Power SS30 Sodium Safe Powersports Battery delivers 50-amp hours at 15.8 volts, and a class-leading 25 amp hours of power at 13.8 volts. Easily mounted in saddlebags, the top case of a bike or battery compartment of a UTV, the SS30 includes five-point distribution for easy accessory connections. Capacity doubles when attached to a 14-volt Lithium Ion charger, for high power use while parked.

The Sundown Audio Z8 eight-inch subwoofer is highlighted in the SEMA booth this year. Featuring a triple-stacked 190mm magnet, Megaroll v.3 surround and a carbon-impregnated pulp cone, the subwoofer is rated at 2,000-watts RMS.

A unique set of fins are integrated into the patented Z8 frame. “The new frame has heat sinks on the inside and outside,” explains Sundown Founder Jake Fuller. “The external heat sinks connect to the top plate, so it’s a direct thermal transfer. The inside has a set of fins as well – they’re specially contoured so the spider drives air at high speed to dissipate heat.”

The newest member of the Systematic family, Lithium Pros will feature the N series of networked lithium batteries. Equipped with compatible NEMA networked devices, the status of the battery is easily visible at a glance on boats and RV’s. Additional functionality is possible in industrial applications, with custom programming available by Lithium Pro’s in-house team. Using an NMEA 2000 interface installed on the battery, the protocol allows the network to see voltage state of charge, current, temperature, time remaining, and error messages all on-screen.

JY Power’s featured battery in the SEMA New Product Showcase is the NXT-6KW, as well as in the Systematic booth. “It’s the newest thing in the NXT lineup. The line is known for its reliability and ease of use on all charging systems,” says Travis Young, JY’s Founder and now Systematic’s Chief Innovation Officer. “The NXT-6KW is a Sodium Ion battery, with up to a 6,000-watt power capacity. It can be drained down to 0 volts and still be recharged. We went to sodium for it’s lower cost of ownership and improved safety.”

Serving the racing, restomod and classic car community, TurboStart features a host of 12 and 16-volt batteries, chargers and supercapacitors.

Holly Hill, FL – November 5, 2024 – Install Bay® by Metra Electronics® will display new additions to its comprehensive collection of professional installation products at SEMA, November 5th to 8th at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visitors can see these new products in Metra's main booth, #10439, in the North Hall and at its off-roading and powersports booth, #24743, in the Central Hall. The brand will debut a new 120 series SB® connector kit, flush mount USB type-C charging socket, a level controller with voltmeter, extension cables, cable management clamp sets, window tint installation tools, and more.

120 Series SB® Connector Kit

The SB120-G is a gray connector housing kit, ideal for use on battery or charger applications, that provides a quick disconnect for power distribution systems. It is designed using reliable SB® flat-wiping

contact technology so that the contacts wipe or slide against each other during connection and disconnection, minimizing the build-up of any non-conductive deposits on the contacts themselves. The mated housings are color-matched for easy identification of plug and receptacle connectors.

Flush Mount USB Type-C Charging Socket

The IBR142 socket provides fast charging for smartphones, tablets, and other devices with a Type-C port. The PD3.0 power supply standard ensures a faster battery charge than traditional USB chargers and prevents devices from draining while in use. It can be installed by mounting it within a port in the vehicle's dash or center console or mounting it to the dash surface with the supplied flush-mount bracket. This socket features weather-resistant components, including a protective cover and a pre-wired mini-ATC fuse holder, making it an ideal solution for marine applications.

Level Controller with Voltmeter

The IBR143 is a level controller with a built-in voltmeter that prevents damage to a vehicle's audio equipment. It combines a power switch, bass knob, and voltmeter, making it easy to adjust the bass level and consistently monitor amplifier voltage to avoid drops or spikes. This unit offers remote gain control, a rotary pushable ON/OFF switch, and a digital voltmeter display.

Flush Mount USB 4.0 Type-C Extension Cables

Available in 1-meter (IBR144) or 1-foot (IBR145) lengths, Install Bay's new USB 4.0 Type-C extension cables can be installed by feeding through a port in the dash or by mounting beneath the dash with the supplied flush-mount bracket to easily connect USB-C devices. USB 4.0 is the latest specification of USB, offering data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps to ensure reliable CarPlay® and Android™ audio performance.

100-Piece Modular Cable Management Clamp Sets

The Install Bay has two new modular cable management clamp sets in 8GA to 4GA (IBCTKIT75) or 4GA to 1/0GA (IBCTKIT100). These cable clamp sets make it easy for installers to secure and organize wiring for show-quality audio installations. The included cable clamps feature a unique dovetail click-lock design that attaches single or bundled wires to surfaces and allows multiple clamps to be assembled in creative configurations, keeping wires evenly spaced in straight runs or around corners.

Window Tint, PPF, Vinyl, and Film Installation Tools

New hard cards and specialized scrubbing tools for tint and film installers will be at SEMA. The cherry suede blade tool (GT2097-4) and lemon suede blade tool (GT2096-4) are multipurpose card-shaped installation tools with both hard and soft edges. They each offer their own level of flexibility and contour to surfaces to smooth bumps and bubbles from materials. The GT2003PLT is a platinum easy-reach hard card designed to reach difficult corners. The tint installer's scrubber tool, the GT209, has a 15-inch handle that extends its scrub pad, allowing installers to scrub the lower windshield and other hard-to-reach areas. The scrub-it blue pad (GT2120B) is an ergonomic scrubbing tool that attaches to an installer's hand with an included hook-and-loop style strap for easier scrubbing of stubborn glue and contaminants.

The Install Bay's new products also include UV-stable interior protection tape, bulk roll black speaker acoustic grille cloth ideal for custom fabrication and speaker grille repair, and more. Additional product information is available at theInstallBay.com.
