AlpineF#1Status, the pinnacle of car audio developed by Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. (TSE: 6770; President & CEO: Toshihiro Kuriyama), has won an iF Design Award 2022 in the Product category. The iF Design Award is one of the world’s most prestigious design awards. It is the first time Alps Alpine has won the award.
■About AlpineF#1Status
AlpineF#1Status, the pinnacle of car audio systems, is the first
in the industry to achieve 384kHz/32bit high-resolution playback enabling
immersive experiences inside the vehicle cabin that emulate a live
performance. Besides outstanding performance specs, a dignified elegance
comes through in an outward appearance stripped of superfluous decoration,
as well as the graphical user interface (GUI), while the ability to take on
and rapidly process voluminous audio source data is given expression through
the tremendous potential hinted at in solid modeling and depth of the light
indicator. Use of custom LEDs for hard-key illumination and other ideas for
sound creation established over the years by Alps Alpine are inherited while
much attention has been directed into the finer elements of design conjuring
up a sense of overwhelmingly good sound in high-resolution playback.
The AlpineF#1Status status system was developed by Alps Alpine,
with group company Alpine Electronics Marketing, Inc. launching global sales
in December 2021. For more information, visit the product introduction page
