Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Suspension: The CHA-1214 has a high speed, anti-vibration mechanism with silicon oil dampers for skip-resistant performance.

Regulated 1-Bit D/A Converters: This changer uses two 1-bit digital-to-analog converters. These DAC's use an independent regulated power supply. This allows for the DAC to be better isolated from other circuitry, and insures a more precise clock pulse. Being able to do this helps minimizes digital error and noise, and gives you more accurate sound performance.

Mounting: This unit may be installed vertically, horizontally, or at an angle between 0 and 90 degrees. There are 5-position angle settings on both sides of the unit that must be set to agree with the mounting angle of the unit.

Protocol: This changer uses the Ai-Net protocol, and is compatible with Alpine Ai-Net compatible head units.

Disc Naming: When used with a compatible head unit, the changer allows Disc Naming for 150 discs.

"M.I.X. All" Function: This changer allows you to perform random play on all discs as well as on a single disc.

Note: This changer will not play CD-Rs/RWs.
