Alpine Status - Premium high-end sound system!

Based on the technology and know-how of AlpineF#1Status, Alpine introduces the latest development in digital in-vehicle sound systems. “Our constant efforts to develop and use the best components and technologies for sound systems, such as the AlpineF#1Status, naturally flow consistently into all other Alpine systems. With the launch of Alpine Status, we are making premium hi-res audio available to many customers and reinvigorating the hi-end sound segment for Alpine in Europe,” said Steven R. Crawford, Director, Brand Business Unit, Alps Alpine Europe GmbH.

"Alpine Status"

Using the same engineering and design concepts that inherited the third-generation ultra-high-definition Alpine F#1Status system, Alpine Status was engineered to offer high-resolution sound quality at a more affordable price.
Alpine Status achieves 192kHz/24bit playback, which is 6,5 times the amount of digital audio data from a standard CD or digital streaming service and exceeds the standard high-resolution specification of 96kHz/24bit.

This far exceeds the current standard found in most aftermarket sound solutions. This allows the "Alpine Status" system to capture and accurately reproduce details such as the artist's breath or the subtle interaction of a musician with an instrument. This capability not only reflects the artist's original intent, but also emulates the experience of an in-vehicle studio recording.

The digital head unit of "Alpine Status"

The HDS-990 digital head unit achieves 192kHz/24bit playback via a wired USB DAC connection or a Bluetooth® wireless connection. This ensures that all high-resolution music files stored on a USB stick or smartphone are played back in the intended specification. The head unit includes a compact controller with buttons for basic music control, a high-resolution color display that shows playback data and album art, a volume control for quick sound control, and a separate black box for flexible installation in the vehicle. A high-resolution 4x 25 W amplifier, powerful cinch outputs and an optical TOSLINK connection enable the flexible construction of a system with the HDP-D90 digital signal processor (DSP) amplifier.

High resolution system components

"Alpine Status" consists of eight components that are optimized in terms of power and performance as a complete system for playback in the intended high-resolution specification. The consistent implementation, the entire audio chain from the head unit to the DSP amplifier to the hi-res audio loudspeakers, is unique to Alpine and brings enormous advantages in terms of sound quality and tuning. However, each component can also be purchased individually to create a customized premium sound system.

14-channel DSP processor with 12-channel amplifier

The HDP-D90 DSP amplifier features an internal 192kHz/32-bit sampling rate and an ultra-wide audio bandwidth of 10Hz-110kHz to reproduce sound in its intended high-resolution specification. Through targeted measures such as A copper-plated housing, for example, increases the signal-to-noise ratio to >110 dB and minimizes noise and distortion during playback. Borrowing from the internal master clock management system in the AlpineF#1Status DSP, the Alpine "Status" DSP HDP-D90 incorporates a crystal oscillator clock generator at the core of the device that tracks and aligns digital information to eliminate jitter (timing errors) and reproduce the sound accurately.

The DSP (Digital Sound Processor) has multiple input options for flexible system setup. For vehicles where the factory radio system cannot be replaced, the DSP has 12 high level inputs that allow the factory radio system to be retained. For those looking to swap out their factory radio system, the DSP features optical and analog inputs to which the HDS-990 “Alpine Status” head unit, as well as another aftermarket radio system, can be connected. The DSP also works as a standalone music source and can receive music directly from a smartphone with Bluetooth® wireless streaming.

More than 12 channels (8x 50 W + 4x 80 W) are available to the DSP amplifier HDP-D90 and can be used to set up a complete sound system. Ten channels of preamp outputs can be used to add more “Alpine Status” amps for more power or to build a sound system: the 4-channel amp HDA-F60, the 5-channel amp HDA-V90 or the mono power amplifier HDA-M80.

"Alpine Status" speakers with a particularly wide frequency spectrum

For lovers of audiophile sound reproduction who want to set up their individual sound system, "Alpine Status" offers a dynamic 3-way speaker set (HDZ-653) with a high-resolution bandwidth of 55 Hz - 60 kHz. The system includes a 16,5 cm (6,5") mid-bass, 7,5 cm (3") midrange driver and a 5 cm (2") ring radiator tweeter. A traditional 2-way speaker system (HDZ-65C) is also available and includes a 16,5 cm (6,5") mid-bass and a 5 cm (2") ring radiator tweeter.

High-resolution playback on all components

To ensure each speaker achieves high-resolution reproduction, each component is crafted from the same carbon composite material. This ensures a uniform timbre during playback. For added installation flexibility, Alpine Status speakers are also available in an OEM mount option. The OEM systems with customized tweeter are available as 3-way (HDZ-653S), 2-way (HDZ-65CS) or coaxial speaker set (HDZ-65). The Alpine Status System's massive 28-inch HDZ-11 subwoofer features a neodymium magnet that ensures efficient power delivery and reproduces an impressive 110W RMS/400W peak power. A hybrid carbon cone with a double-seamed surround minimizes distortion and ensures clean, precise bass reproduction even at high volumes. Photo credit: Alps Alpine Europe GmbH
