Masaru Yagi  "We wanted to create components that would be much more than just the  'best on the block, ' but would capture the  'pole position'  in a real race in other words, be the best in the world."
We kept facing the challenges of in-car acoustics, and created the ultimate technology for overcoming road noise.
Let me talk about the new AlpineF#1Status system. The main engineering problems in producing good sound in the car are to properly compensate for the special acoustic anomalies in the car. The noise inherent in driving is a really huge problem. Initially, we sought to solve the fundamental problems in sound image, sound field, and sound quality to get the best sound. We soon realized this would require a whole new and unique set of technological approaches, since the stationary environment of home audio has no such problems or solutions. Conventional technology for automatic noise compensation ends up messing up the music by altering the frequency content or by working too slowly to be effective because it lacks real-time processing. To do the job properly, we had to develop the system from scratch and use our best and latest sound technologies and know-how. Actually, I should let our engineers explain the technology, but I just want to emphasize that this brand-new technology, called Road EQ, is an innovative solution that combines advanced technology with extensive acoustic data and listening tests.
