Most people think that once you finish designing and manufacturing
the audio circuitry of a system, the job is completed and the setup is done. That’s
hardly the case; there are major sonic challenges even after this. It’s
like bringing together the members of an orchestra, having them tune their instruments
to each other, getting the sound balance right, and making sure they work together
as a truly expressive musical ensemble. The same is true in an audio system, and
this is what determines the real character of the Alpine sound.
To stay with the metaphor, our role as the conductor or sound master—the
group that ultimately determined the sound of AlpineF#1Status—was a particularly
heavy responsibility and a challenging job. I remember we all worked long and
hard to fine-tune the sound, to get it just right. And we did get it right, to
our satisfaction—still, we had to show the system to the press, and I have
to admit we were a bit nervous. But the audio critics and members of the press
greeted the system with enthusiastic applause, and we were filled with deep emotion. |
