Alpine Now Shipping Next-Generation R-Series 4-Channel Amp

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

AUBURN HILLS, MI (03.21.23) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”) is now shipping the Next-Generation R-Series R2-A60F 4-Channel Amplifier. The R2-A60F is the first amplifier to ship from the Next-Generation R-Series Sound System Line, following the speakers which shipped in January.

Using “trickle-down” technology from the Ultra-High-Resolution AlpineF#1Status and Alpine Status systems, the R2-A60F is Hi-Res Audio Certified and able to reproduce up to 40kHz frequency response for music that is closer to the original source. The R2-A60F features Alpine’s Class D Amplifier Circuit and provides 100W x 4 @ 4Ω or 150W x 4 @ 2Ω.

In addition to the High-Resolution capabilities of the Next-Generation amplifier model, design changes were made to improve installation. A 15% reduced footprint increases fitment options in most vehicle applications yet still maintains the “Loud and Fun” performance quality that long-time R-Series fans have come to enjoy. Speaker connections were consolidated to one side of the amplifier for easy access. Amplifier controls, like gain and crossover controls, were relocated to the top of the amplifier under a removable plate for convenient access. Mounting “feet” were also integrated into the chassis of the amplifier to simplify the installation process.

The R2-A60F is Remote Bass Knob Compatible and works with the RUX-KNOB.2 or RUX-H01 (sold separately).

The R2-A60F is available now for $449.95 and can be purchased at Alpine Authorized retailers and Preferred Online Stores. Please check the store locator on www.alpine-usa.com for details.

The KICKER AMA ArenaCross 2023 Series Rolled Into The Salem Civic Center

Posted on by in Featured and tagged .

SALEM, VA (03.20.23) – The KICKER AMA ArenaCross 14-City Series rolled into the Salem Civic Center on Friday March 17th. Star City 12Volt, a strong KICKER dealer in Roanoke just 7 miles from Salem, was in the house with owner Hoyt Richardson and staff. The Star City 12volt team connected with attendees throughout the evening.

“It was terrific to have the Star City 12Volt team at the event and under the KICKER tent in the lobby. They really know their stuff when it comes to custom installations” Lorin Morrell, who orchestrates the KICKER AMA Arenacross Series events, related.

Hoyt Richardson (R) and Star City 12Volt team member connected with members of the crowd under the KICKER tent in the lobby.
Once again the Pit Party got the evening off to a fast start as attendees walked the track and met with riders.

The KICKER tent was in the lobby area and virtually everyone attending the event had to pass by and see the selection of products displayed on the tables. Star City 12Volt placed a company banner on the back wall under the tent to put the company’s brand in front of enthusiasts attending the event.

A very busy Pit Party got the action started very shortly after the doors opened. Attendees walked the track and had an opportunity to meet the riders and check out the motorcycles they would be riding around the track and flying high over the mounds. As soon as riders left the starting gate the track was red hot as riders and attendees were Livin’ Loud.

The KICKER T-Shirt toss certificate landed in this young enthusiast’s hands and he made a beeline to the booth to pick up his Bullfrog prize. Star City 12Volt owner Hoyt Richardson is on the left as Lorin is set to hand over the Bullfrog prize.
This rider is set to launch off a mound and circle the track.

Morrell added “Once again the stands were filled with enthusiasts who were excited to see the riders circle the track and cheered when the riders flew high off the track mounds. In addition to the action on the track wrapped KICKER T-shirts were tossed into the crowd during race breaks and track maintenance periods. A special KICKER T had a certificate wrapped inside for a KICKER BullFrog prize to be picked up at the KICKER display in the lobby. The young man who caught the KICKER T with the certificate made a beeline to the booth and was smiling from ear-to-ear. Hoyt and I placed the Bullfrong in his hands and he said he could not to wait to get it playing. We told him he would be Livin’Loud with KICKER.”

Crowd members also participated in flag-waving sessions as Wes Kain was on the PA system exciting members of the crowd to wave checkered flags for a chance to win KICKER Lifestyle products. All the winners smiled with Kicker prizes in their hands.

For the last 4 AMA KICKER ArenaCross events a KICKER dealer from the area has been under the tent in the lobby and connected with attendees. Those 4 dealers-MB Customs 303 in Denver, Tunes and Tint in Amarillo, Expert Customs in Tulsa and Star City 12Volt in Salem created traffic in their stores that will make their cash registers ring and stimulate future business.

The next stop on the 2023 AMA KICKER ArenaCross 14-City Series is in Little Rock AR on Friday, March 24th

IASCA Worldwide Hosts First of Its Kind Advanced Sound Quality Training Seminar at Mobile Soundstage Engineering

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

EAST WENATCHEE, WA (03.20.23) – IASCA Worldwide hosted the first of its kind Advanced Sound Quality Training Seminar for 11 top IASCA SQ Judges on March 11, 2023 at Mobile Soundstage Engineering in Bixby, OK. IASCA’s Advisory Group selected specific experienced judges to attend the seminar by invitation only.

The training was conducted by IASCA President Travis Chin and IASCA World FInals Champion Harry Kimura at the facility for another multiple IASCA World Finals Champion, Mark Eldridge. Travis Chin presented IASCA’s mission and goals for the future, Harry Kimura reviewed recording differences, judges’ conduct and rules changes while Mark Eldridge provided the systems, his NASCAR Cup Car and system, and invaluable experience and knowledge to the participants.

The training focused on many factors in sound quality listening and judging, going far beyond the basics of traditional IASCA Sound Quality Judges’ Training seminars. Multiple reference systems from the MSE facility were utilized in the training to highlight the differences between variable listening experiences. The systems have the ability to “inject” errors into the playback that mimic common issues in the competition lanes, allowing judges to hear the difference. Even the multiple IASCA Championship winning NASCAR Cup Car built by Mark Eldridge was dialed in for in-car demos.

IASCA also approved new sound quality judging material for competition that will replace the current IASCA Sound Quality Reference CD next season.

“Having this level of advanced training has been in the works for the past couple years now,” said IASCA President Travis Chin. “Harry Kimura’s and Mark Eldridge’s knowledge, experience and history with IASCA was extremely beneficial to the group and using Mark’s facility worked perfectly to achieve our goal. IASCA Worldwide endorses these Advanced Sound Quality courses for anyone, individual, competitor or judge, who wants to learn more about true sound quality. These courses are invaluable!”

“After visiting MSE last year, I realized that this would be the ideal place to have na IASCA Judges Training, with the availability of multiple external reference sound systems, Mark’s NASCAR Cup Car system and live instruments,” said IASCA Judge Harry Kimura. “As an IASCA judge since 1994, I can vouch that it’s a complete evaluation environment for judges! Well trained judges are one of the highest valued assets for any sanctioning organization as it maintains the highest levels of integrity within the organization.” Kimura continued to say, “IASCA has made a commitment to ensuring that their training is second to none and with that, integrity is ensured.”

“I was approached by IASCA President and top IASCA Judge Harry Kimura last year regarding the project,” said MSE President Mark Eldridge. “It was an amazing day; we put together a full day of listening, discussion and demonstrations. I know there have been IASCA Judges Trainings in the past, but nothing at this level. I loved every minute of it and look forward to the next seminar!”

This will be our 31st dealer show! Many dealers have not had the ability to go to a show recently to see the newest 12volt products.
