Product Overview: The Alpine
PXA-H701 Multimedia Manager allows you to add multi-channel music and movie
soundtracks with digital sound processing to virtually any system. It can be
controlled by the IVA-D310, DVA-9965, and DVA-9860 head units, or used as a
stand-alone system with the RUX-C701 controller (sold separately). The PXA-H701
offers Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, and allows you to connect up to three
source components via optical digital inputs. In addition, you can make multiple
audio adjustments using the built-in graphic and parametric equalizers and
digital time alignment.
Digital-to-Analog Converters:
The unit is equipped with eight 26kHz/24dB MDACs (multi-level digital-to-analog
converters).
Digital Time Alignment: You can
perform digital time alignment to correct the time errors caused by the major
differences in the distances between the vehicle's speakers and a particular
listening position. Time correction can be adjusted manually by measuring the
distances to each speaker and applying time correction values to each speaker.
Audible time correction can be made from 0.05 ms to 20.00 ms in 0.05ms steps.
You can also perform time correction automatically when the optional RUX-C701
control unit and the microphone included with the controller are used.
Graphic Equalizer: The built-in
graphic equalizer allows you to modify the sound to suit your taste using 31
bands each for the front (left and right), rear (left and right), and center
speakers. Adjustable frequencies are 20Hz to 20kHz in 1/3 octave steps. An
additional 10 bands are available for the subwoofer from 20Hz to 160Hz in 1/3
octave steps. Levels are adjustable +/- 9dB in steps of 1dB.
Parametric Equalizer: For
correcting undesired peaks and dips at specific frequencies not affected by the
graphic equalizer's fixed frequency bands, you can use the built-in 11-band
parametric equalizer and tune to those frequencies. Five frequency bands can be
adjusted for the front (left and right), rear (left and right), center, and two
bands for the subwoofer. Levels can be adjusted +/- 9dB in steps of 1dB, and the
band width (Q) can be adjusted in 6 steps of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Selectable
frequencies include:
- Front, Rear, and Center:
- Band 1: 20Hz to 500Hz
(29 steps)
- Band 2: 50Hz to 1.2kHz
(29 steps)
- Band 3: 125Hz to
3.2kHz (29 steps)
- Band 4: 315Hz to 8kHz
(29 steps)
- Band 5: 800Hz to 20kHz
(29 steps)
- Subwoofer:
- Band 1: 20Hz to 80Hz
(13 steps)
- Band 2: 50Hz to 200Hz
(13 steps)
Active Crossover: The PXA-H701
is equipped with an active crossover, allowing the frequency bands to be split
before amplification. You can activate two low pass and high pass filters for
the front, and one each for the rear, center, and subwoofer. The front and rear
crossovers can have different adjustment values for the left and right channels,
if desired. All crossovers have a selectable slope of 6, 12, 18, 24, or
30dB/octave, or can be turned off independently. Crossover frequencies include:
- Front 1: (select Tweeter or
Full Range)
- Tweeter:
- High Pass: 1kHz to
18kHz (cannot be set to "Off")
- Low Pass: 1.1kHz
to 20kHz
- Full Range:
- High Pass: 20Hz to
18kHz
- Low Pass: 22Hz to
20kHz
- Front 2:
- High Pass: 20Hz to
18kHz
- Low Pass: 22Hz to
20kHz
- Rear:
- High Pass: 20Hz to
18kHz
- Low Pass: 22Hz to
20kHz
- Center:
- High Pass: 20Hz to
18kHz
- Low Pass: 22Hz to
20kHz
- Subwoofer:
- High Pass: 20Hz to
180Hz
- Low Pass: 22Hz to
200Hz (cannot be set to "Off")
Media Xpander (MX): The Media
Xpander makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music
source. You can set an MX effect level for each connected source.
Bass Compensation: Bass Comp
can be activated to accentuate bass frequencies. You can choose any of three
levels of Bass Comp to suit your tastes.
Surround Features
Dolby Digital/DTS: The PXA-H701
can decode 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS signals from a connected DVD player
and output these discrete signals to the appropriate output jacks for front
left, front right, rear left, rear right, center, and subwoofer preamp outputs.
Dolby Pro Logic II: You can
apply Dolby Pro Logic II processing on any 2-channel music or movie signal from
a CD, DVD, FM or Satellite Radio. You can select Dolby Pro Logic II Music to
enhance stereo music recordings, or Dolby Pro Logic II Movie to simulate 5.1
channel surround sound. In addition, you can choose a Rear Fill function for
2-channel Dolby Digital and DTS signals and output the front channel signals to
the rear speakers.
Speaker Setup: The PXA-H701
lets you adjust the output according to the playable frequency range of your
speakers. You can designate the size of each set of speakers as "small" or
"large" based on their ability to play sounds at 80Hz or lower, and set the
subwoofer for "on" or "off". The level for each speaker (front left and right,
rear left and right, and center) can be set in a range of +/-10dB, either
manually or automatically.
Phantom Center: If you do not
have a designated center channel speaker, the unit can distribute the center
channel audio information to the front left and right channels. This creates a
simulated or "phantom" center speaker directly in front of each listener. The
level of this acoustic center image can be adjusted within a range of -5 to +5,
allowing you to shift the image from one side to the other.
Standard/Maximum Sound: Dolby
Digital are compressed to achieve powerful sound at regular volume levels. This
compression can be canceled so you can achieve an even more powerful sound at
high volume levels. You can choose Standard or Maximum listening modes to suit
the level you desire.
DVD Levels: You can
independently set the output levels for DVDs for Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro
Logic II, and PCM.
