Description
The best sound quality
The Alpine Status collection includes many technologies, components and materials familiar from Alpine's F#1 Status collection, which guarantee the best possible sound quality - but at a more affordable price than the F#1 Status collection.
The Alpine Status equipment is capable of playing music up to 192kHz/24bit quality, which is available from various online services and streaming platforms.
Class D mono amplifier
The HDA-M80 Alpine Status is a class D multi-amplifier using Sierra-H technology (we will tell you more about Sierra-H technology in a separate section of this page). The amplifier offers 1 x 500W for a four-ohm load and 1 x 800W for a two-ohm load.
The playback range of the amplifier is 8Hz – 400Hz (-3dB).
Sound quality
Alpine's Status amplifiers use only the best possible and carefully selected components and various technologies that you cannot find from any other manufacturer. The body of the amplifier is copper, which prevents external interference from entering the audio signal. In order for the signal to remain concretely completely unchanged, the circuit board of the amplifier is also black, which prevents possible distortions in the signal caused by light reflections.
The signal-to-noise ratio of the HDA-M80 is >107dB
Complete Alpine Status hardware
All components of the Alpine Status collection are made purely with sound quality conditions and the best possible listening pleasure in mind. Unlike the F#1 Status collection, all components of Alpine Status can be purchased separately.
Sierra-H Circuit
When the original analog signal is converted to a digital signal, Sierra-H compares and corrects twice, so that the reproduction is very accurate and nothing is left out of the original music.
Connectors on the same edge
All connectors (power/ground, speaker outputs, RCA inputs and outputs, RUX-Knob2) and fuses are on one side of the amplifier. This allows for easy and stylish installation.
With the Rux-Knob2 control, you can adjust the level of the subwoofer easily. Rux-Knob2 sold separately.
Heat management
Alpine Status amplifiers have exceptionally advanced thermal management and a protection circuit that can control the operating temperature of the amplifier. Status amplifiers will never shut down due to overheating, but you can enjoy your music without interruption.
Power and speaker connectors
All Alpine Status amplifiers use very compact connectors to which you can securely screw the cables. The connectors facilitate installation and guarantee lossless contact with the terminals.
Top sound quality
Alpine Status can play music at up to 192kHz/24bit quality, which uses more than six times the amount of data compared to a traditional CD or streaming service.
Thanks to this, you get the finest nuances and details out of the music and get as close to studio-level sound as it's ever possible to get.
