The new receiver is the culmination of the Alpine Halo Display Lineup

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (Jan. 14, 2021) – Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. introduces the newest addition to the Alpine Halo Display lineup: the iLX-F409 Alpine Halo9 Multimedia Receiver with a 9-inch, customizable touchscreen display.

“After releasing the iLX-F309, we listened to our customers and crafted a solution that adds the features needed for an exciting drive,” said Mike Anderson, Vice President and General Manager, Brand Business Unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.

Beyond Factory Technology

The Alpine Halo display platform is known for its oversized, “floating” screen and versatile installation into virtually any vehicle. The sleek tapered edges, outlined in silver trim, along with smartphone integration capability, modernizes the technology in any dash that can house a single-DIN receiver.

The launch of the iLX-F409 and the iLX-F411 signals a new generation of the Alpine Halo models that are a culmination of all the fan-favorite features, including customizable home screens, media expandability with HDMI connectivity, and iDatalink® Maestro Module compatibility.

Features like Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and built-in Bluetooth® hands-free calling with audio streaming allows access to music, messages, phone calls, and maps on a smartphone via USB. These features are controlled through touch or voice commands with the included external microphone. SiriusXM® Radio is available with an optional tuner and paid subscription for even more music and entertainment during the drive.

System Compatibility

Upgrading dash technology can often result in a loss of factory functionality such as steering wheel controls and access to engine codes. However, the iLX-F409 is compatible with the iDatalink® Maestro Module (sold separately) allowing select OEM features to be retained and vehicle information displayed on the 9-inch screen.

An RCA input is included so you can add a rearview camera (sold separately) that overlays guidelines onto the screen for ease when moving in reverse. Additional cameras can be added with the KCX-C2600B Universal Front and Rear Camera Selector (sold separately).

While the iLX-F409 is mech-less (no CD/DVD player) an HDMI input and output is included so you can connect a CD, DVD player, or even your smartphone for an all-digital audio and video connection through a single cable.

The iLX-F409 will ship in January 2021 at a MAP of $699.95 and will be available at Alpine Authorized retailers and at Preferred Online Stores. Installation options can be found on the Alpine-USA website through the store locator.

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. introduced a new sound system lineup for the Halo category that includes a 10-inch and 12-inch ported subwoofer enclosure and remote bass knob. The enclosures are pre-loaded with S-Series and R-Series subwoofers. They debuted today during the 2020 International CES, taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 7-10.

January 7, 2020 -- “This sound system was designed to complement the Halo display in both power and performance for a premium sound experience,” said Mike Anderson, Vice President and General Manager, Brand Business Unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. “With the new modular design, customers can enjoy a single box design but have a flexible upgrade path. A single box can be used or two enclosures can be linked together with an optional kit to create a dual sub enclosure.”

Enclosure Stacking Features

Unique to Alpine, the subwoofer 10-inch and 12-inch enclosures are available as a single or “linked” format with an optional mounting bracket. This innovative design allows the sound consumer the option to easily add more bass to their system.

The optional mounting bracket (sold separately) is available in a 10-inch KTX-H10 or 12-inch KTX-H12 solution that mounts to the face of the subwoofer and links for a sturdy, dual-subwoofer enclosure. The silver enclosure trim matches the steel bracketing and Halo display trim for a synergized look.

Optimized Performance

The ported enclosure design delivers a higher total sound output for deep, powerful bass, reliable sound reproduction and overall great sound quality. The 10-inch enclosure is tuned to 36 Hz while the 12-inch enclosure is tuned to 35 Hz for optimized performance with Alpine’s S-and-R-Series subwoofers.

Remote Bass Level Control Anywhere

Bass levels can be controlled with the RUX-H01 Remote Bass Knob for Halo (sold separately). The knob can be mounted to any 9-inch or 11-inch Halo screen or anywhere in the vehicle for quick bass level adjustments.

The RUX-H01 is compatible with Alpine amplifiers and is multi-amp capable (standard phone cable splitter required) and can adjust the gain from 0 to -12 dB. The bass knob is designed to match the aesthetic of the Halo displays and subwoofer enclosures. The smooth tapered edges and silver finish provide a premium look that compliments the Halo displays.

The pre-loaded subwoofer enclosures, optional mounting bracket, and remote bass knob will ship in May for the following prices:

• S-SB10V $350 SRI
• S-SB12V $370 SRI
• R-SB10V $450 SRI
• R-SSB12V $470 SRI
• KTX-H10 $130 SRI
