We listen to music and play with car audio gear every day! Like most of us here, I've always been into music. I installed my first car stereo system before the family car was even mine.
In college, I helped friends and roommates install their car stereos and set up the stereos in their apartments. That's where I also first learned a little bit about sound mixers. These days, I serve my community by volunteering with the Boys Scouts of America. Alpine packs the CDA CD receiver with an impressive internal amplifier that delivers your music with impact and depth.
You'll also appreciate the easy-to-read display, the simple controls, and the number of options for system expansion. You'll also find a built-in high-pass filter that trims the bass going to your full-range speakers, and bass controls that shape the bass from your subwoofer system. The CDA offers three sets of preamp outputs for building an amplified system. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.
Alpine CDA owner's manual. I was very pleased when I finally hooked this up in my 02 explorer. It looked way better in my dash than expected. Also was very easy to install. This is my first alpine head unit and I am very pleased with the buy. Free tech support for the life of your gear.

The digital seek function allows you to search for only HD Radio stations if you prefer. Imprint also gives you much more sound adjustment flexibility as detailed below. The Imprint kit includes the hardware, software, and microphone necessary to measure multiple positions in the car and capture frequency and time domain information from the vehicle's actual acoustical environment. Once the car's speaker location delays are measured, along with the frequency peaks and dips caused by the absorptive and reflective materials in the interior, MultEQ creates a set of equalization filters to correct the frequency response and time domain problems for each speaker in the vehicle.
It also removes sound distortion caused by the specific acoustical problems in the vehicle by applying unique FIR filters, using more than points along the frequency spectrum per channel. This optimizes the sound reproduction to the specific vehicle listening environment with much greater precision than can be achieved using typical graphic or parametric equalization.
The result is a more accurate soundstage and smoother, more natural sound optimized to match your vehicle. Equalizer: 10 typical equalizer settings are preset at the factory for a variety of musical source material. The head unit will also save six custom EQ curves you create by adjusting the units built-in EQ. Choose the parametric or graphic EQ:. Crossover: The active crossover can be used as a 2. A crossover limits the frequencies delivered to a given speaker, so you send only the frequencies for which the speaker is well suited.
The crossover adjusts the high pass filter or low pass filter of each band along with the slope and output level. You can adjust the following crossover settings:. Time Correction: The time correction feature delays the audio signal to the speakers closer to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased distance for those speakers.
Time Correction allows the listener to be placed at an equal distance from all speakers for optimum staging. You can adjust the distance of each speaker and subwoofer 6-channel to the listener from 0 to Media Xpander: The MX Media Xpander function makes vocals or instruments sound distinct by restoring sound quality typically lost during recording or transmission; this function helps restore audio information that becomes obscured when audio is compressed.
The MX function can be applied to all sources, except AM radio. There are three settings and each source can have its own setting. For free personalized advice, call Our Advisors have listened to most of the speakers we carry, and can help you make the best choice for your system.
