The RUX-C701 module controls all of the processor's functions, allowing you to set your system just the way you want it. The control module's large rotary knob, button, and 3" display make tweaking your processor much easier. You can adjust equalizer settings, improve the focus of your bass frequencies, change crossover settings to enhance speaker efficiency, and maximize your Dolby® surround settings. You can also engage MediaXpander to fill out your sound, and boost the bass output. The display even gives you a 31-band spectrum analyzer. You can use the included microphone to apply time correction settings in your vehicle so that information from all your speakers hits your ears at the same time — your music will sound natural and balanced. If you have an Alpine navigation system plugged into the sound processor, you can use this module to set the volume of the voice prompts that are delivered over your speakers. Installation hardware is included so that you can mount the module in or on your dash or console.

While this was positive there were also some negetives such as that your selections with regard to adjusting different channels left or right could not be combined like with my previous set up. The most dissapointing aspect of the unit is the display because the visual options are very antiquated and do not do anything to impress. Also the color of the buttons are not able to be changed from the blue while illuminated. I would have to say as a whole the Alpine H 701 and this controler unit are a disapointment when compared to other EQ/Crossover models on the market in similar price points. Yes they are better than the processing you would get from an aftermarket deck but when compared to other companies offerings in the $750 range it falls short in terms of adjustability, pre eq voltage to amps and the size of the box. 17 out of 24 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
