The role of the sound master is to make the right acoustic
judgments and adjust the equipment to make it sound most musical. This requires
the human touch, and cannot be done by some electronic measuring device. To make
AlpineF#1Status the best it could be, we brought our ears, our aesthetic sense
and musical sensibilities. Case in point: the amazing Road EQ processing
on the PXI-H990. This feature uses high-speed calculations (of 48,000 times every
second) to cancel the influence of road noise. In creating this, we conducted
extensive listening tests to arrive at the ideal processing—knowing that
the only tools we have to distinguish whether any given sound is noise or music
are our own ears. This is what makes the new AlpineF#1Status such a landmark
audio system—that it realizes the absolute best sound not merely by application
of the most sophisticated technology, but by fully incorporating the human element
and taking into account the sensitivity of the human ear. |
