Advanced Technology For Ultimate Sound Quality
Alpine has combined their in-vehicle sound system expertise with Audyssey’s acoustical technology to deliver a sound system hardware-plus-software platform with breakthrough equalization technology. IMPRINT automatically overcomes the car’s inherent acoustical challenges, and improves the sound stage, tonal balance, and definition.
The Sonic Magic Of MultEQ®
 The car interior is an acoustical challenge. Interior surfaces reflect sound while other surfaces reflect sound while other surfaces absorb it. IMPRINT sound overcomes the car's inherent acoustical challenges, improving the sound stage, tonal balance and definition.
MultEQ solves all this by using more than 500 control points along the frequency spectrum. This optimizes the sound reproduction to the specific vehicle listening environment with much greater precision that has been acheived up to now - reproducing the music as it was meant to be heard throughout the car.
|  | 24 Bit DAC
As Alpine’s top CD player, the CDA-9887 uses a  24-Bit Burr-Brown D/A converter and other leading-edge technologies to provide wide dynamic range and high precision sound reproduction. Naturally, the sound from MP3, WMA and AAC playback is also outstanding.
Always a Clear View
The CDA-9887 is equipped with a Biolite Display for a wider viewing angle, and ensured high visibility in all lighting condition, even bright daylight.
Customize your Sound
If you like to tweak your sound, this is the head unit for you. It gives you 6 channels of Digital Time Correction, 3-way or 2-way crossover, 7-band graphic EQ or 5-band parametric EQ. You can manually toggle between the CDA-9887 default sound setting and IMPRINT to tune your sound the way you want.

The Car's Inherent Challenges
| Car interiors are a challenging acoustical environment for listening to music. There are many components that obstruct and degrade the quality of sound reproduction. All of this leads to an unbalanced sound stage.

|
| The IMPRINT Solution | Introducing IMPRINT. IMPRINT technology automatically overcomes the car’s inherent acoustical challenges, and improves the sound stage, tonal balance, and definition.
The Process
- • It is the only system that measures the entire listening area, capturing frequency and time domain information from each listening location, and then applying a proprietary method for combining this information to represent all seat locations. This results in a maximized listening experience in all seats.
 - • It corrects both time and frequency problems simultaneously, resulting in improved sound stage and smoother, more natural sound.
- • It uses dynamic frequency allocation to apply hundreds of points of correction to those areas where the sound problems are greatest. This results in better sound using less computing resources (MIPS) Millions of Instructions per Second than other systems.
| | - • It determines optimized blending points for low-frequency crossovers.
- •
 IMPRINT Sound Manager (PC application KTX-100EQ, sold separately) is designed to match the target sound desired by the Alpine IMPRINT specification automatically. Then minor manual adjustments also can be made to significantly reduce the total time for tuning sound systems from days to minutes.
The End Result
IMPRINT offers an unparalleled custom sound experience:
- • Better sound stage, image and sound quality – in all seats for all musical content.
- • A faster, repeatable tuning process for car manufacturers, resulting in a consistent high quality listening experience in any vehicle platform.
- • A hardware-plus-software solution for adding sound quality value to vehicle engineering and marketing.
