Alpine PXE-C80-88: 8-Channel Optim8 Sound Processor & Amplifier

The groundbreaking Alpine Optim8 is the ultimate all in one solution designed to enhance and effortlessly fine tune your Sound system through remarkable precision.

Enhance your factory or aftermarket radio and Sound system through the Alpine Optim8. Featuring a built in 8-Channel Amplifier through high resolution audio playback up to 96 kHz / 24 bits, the Optim8 is the all in one Sound solution to amplify and effortlessly Sound tune your system in minutes.

Tune your entire Sound system in under 5 minutes through the innovative auto tuning capabilities of the Alpine Optim8.  Using the PC app and a microphone kit (sold separately) or the IOS app and built in microphone on an iPhone 10 / newer, measure, correct, and tune your system to your desired listening preference through fast and easy guided tuning instructions.

The Optim8 removes the pain points of tuning a Sound system by providing guided motions and clear instructions for microphone or iPhone placement that quickly and effectively measures your entire vehicle interior for the most accurate results.  The auto EQ software analyzes the vehicle's acoustic response, accounting for any anomalies like a center console or steering wheel, and intelligently flattens the vehicle's audio curve to create a base for tuning.

The Optim8 gives you the flexibility to use your factory radio and Sound system or tie in an aftermarket radio and Sound system.  The built in Amplifier boasts 50 W x 6 @ 4 Ω + 150 W x 2 @ 4 Ω / 50 W x 6 @ 2 Ω + 300 W x 2 @ 2 Ω, for a solution that's able to power a full Sound system.  Digital inputs include coaxial and USB (DAC) while a high level speaker input of up to 30 V allows the Optim8 to connect to a factory Amplifier.  You can also stream music directly to your head unit using Bluetooth streaming capabilities.

Tune your system in real time using the tuning tools, like crossover adjustments and time correction, to create an experience that's tailored to your ideal listening position or music genre preference.  Use any of the 6 included presets to save your favorite tuning adjustments and access on the fly using the included Optim8 controller.
