Introduction
Meeting a new challenge to realize the best sound possible for the mobile environment
AlpineF#1Status
For a quarter of a century, Alpine’s goal has been the best sound in the mobile environment despite its harsh physical and electrical conditions. To overcome these severe listening conditions, Alpine has developed its own unique on-board acoustic technology. This is totally different from that of home audio.
The Mobile Multimedia Era is flourishing, and recording media and reproduction technology have evolved in a remarkable fashion. For an exciting and wide range of emotional experience, sound is more important than ever, and is becoming the central factor.
In the fashion of the master artisans of musical instruments, Alpine has concentrated its incomparable craftsmanship to establish its standing as a Mobile
MultiMedia specialist. Alpine’s technical foundation is based on its unique technology and expertise accumulated through years of experience. Alpine constantly strives to deliver the best possible sound in this new era with an approach called
“micro-dynamics.” This approach consists of micro- and macroscopic- technological analysis and design. This gives Alpine the ability to deliver increased precision in reproduction speed and time measurement, to maximize the musical sensory experience.
The best sound in the mobile environment promises the most advanced multimedia experience to serious listeners in their vehicles.
Alpine F#1Status.
The passionate challenge begins here.

4 Channel Amplifier
The MRV-F900 is designed to convey all the passion and impact of exceptional performances.
The high fidelity circuitry of this 100W x 4-channel power amplifier, consists of high grade audio components. This combination produces beautiful harmonics, aiming at the ultimate in craftsmanship and following the ideas of microdynamics.
■ High performance MOS-FETs used in power supply unit and final stage
Unlike regular transistors, MOS-FETs can operate at extremely high speeds. They feature low loss of broad range response as well as excellent signal response.
■ Exclusive audio high speed, high current SBD (Schottky barrier diode) used in power supply circuit
The specially designed troidal transformer aiming at low noise and a sense of power has been given the maximum possible capacity. Even the electrolyte of the electrolytic capacitor is specially ordered, a measure of the thorough considerations taken with the MRV-F900. The polarities of the parts particularly important for achieving high sound quality, such as the transformer, coils and film capacitors, are carefully controlled to achieve maximum time precision.
■ Copper foil patterns are used for the circuit boards essential for achieving high quality sound.
Their thickness is increased to boost speed at high currents. The circuit boards are made of glass epoxy. Parts have been carefully selected for their low noise levels and stable performance to achieve unprecedented high sound quality.
■ The circuitry is designed through a process of repeated simulations, and high sound quality S.T.A.R circuits are used extensively.
Far more attention than with previous tunings prioritizing static characteristics has been paid to group delay. The constants of both multiple circuits and individual components have been researched scrupulously, in a tuning process many times more extensive than in the past. As a result, the harmonic spectrum and high energy characteristics of exceptional performances is output beautifully in every detail of the sound to achieve unprecedented dynamism.
