Let’s start by saying that the test was a bit disconcerting. Aesthetics .. anything innovative. Alpine usual line, though simple and elegant, but curious about the inclusion of the new slide bar.
Now we start with the functions just saying a few words on the new toolbar. It looks pretty, but it’s really uncomfortable. While taking his hand and understanding how to use it, you lose a lot of usage, and does not make rapid functions. Do not speak while driving. Best limited to simple change track and volume control, or risk dangerous distractions while driving.
Excellent interface x use of crossover and time delays. All very intuitive and simple. The crossover is very useful in a system using x 2-way, by adjusting the frequency and the slope is much scope for both the woofer to the tweeter, and is in a 3 way thanks to the “user “that can descend with the cutoff frequency for the high range below 50Hz. You can then use the bass to the woofer and the high range for the medium and tweeter in turn filtered passive. Obviously the sub-section is always devoted its two adjustable outputs.
For the delays is very useful the possibility of adjusting both ms in cm or inches.
The display looks the same as the earlier 9835.
Now we come to quality. The quality and optical reading system seems very robust and well recognized all types of media. The radio section is satisfactory. Not at Becker, but you can listen to the radio without going mad as it does to the poor quality of the Kenwood tuner.
The audio portion of power is part of the standard integrated amplifier. Rather disappointing Joining the PRE section. The quality seems to be very low compared with the previous 9835. Yes, they lowered the price while introducing the new touch-screen bar, and thus lowered the quality of the audio section. The sound is very cold and hard to find a setting that meets and can be defined: good idea, sounds great. Unfortunately can not express the sweetness and warmth that give the song expresses that we are listening. The sound is very clear and detailed especially in high range. The bass is very strong and braking. But I repeat that the sound quality does not come before 9835 at least.
