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.
“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
