AlpineF#1Status, the pinnacle of car audio systems, is the first in the industry to achieve 384kHz/32bit high-resolution playback enabling immersive experiences inside the vehicle cabin that emulate a live performance. Besides outstanding performance specs, a dignified elegance comes through in an outward appearance stripped of superfluous decoration, as well as the graphical user interface (GUI), while the ability to take on and rapidly process voluminous audio source data is given expression through the tremendous potential hinted at in solid modeling and depth of the light indicator. Use of custom LEDs for hard-key illumination and other ideas for sound creation established over the years by Alps Alpine are inherited while much attention has been directed into the finer elements of design conjuring up a sense of overwhelmingly good sound in high-resolution playback.
The AlpineF#1Status status system was developed by Alps Alpine, with group company Alpine Electronics Marketing, Inc. launching global sales in December 2021. For more information, visit the product introduction page below https://www.alpine-usa.com/alpineflagship.
