Gday all,

Has anyone heard of alpines IMPRINT technology before? I came across it today while chatting to VKStevo about head units. I dont know if its any good but looks very professional.

Heres some links. The second link shows great screenshots of the PC software.

Can't say i've experience it first hand, but heard its supposed to be really good.. I can tell you that, that Head Unit is absolutely awesome even without the imprint kit.. Easily the best ipod interface and so responsive..

...and thats a bad thing? no doubt this setup wont be cheap, if a 'mainstream user' wants to fork out the money for it then why not

(still havnt found a price)

for people who are confused about it all. heres a simple straight-forward description that I found.

The MultEQ calibration kit includes PC software, cables and a high-precision microphone. You simply connect the Head Unit to the PC and follow the instructions on the screen — the whole process is quick and easy. The software analyses the acoustic environment and corrects the problems, downloading the results into the Head Unit. When music plays, the car’s acoustic problems are cancelled, for near perfectly linear response.
