Strength:
Even though it only has a 9-band spectrum analyzer, you can chose between 25 frequencies and adjust the gain and quality of the cut-off slope in 4 distinct point of the audio spectrum (hence the "parametric" designation). What made my music quality stand out was the dynamic range "expander"/"compander" function that is adjustable on 3 levels. It's like Sony's mega bass function on their old walkmans. You push the button and it does much more than just increase the bass; it makes the music sound more expansive, clearer, and airy-like. This unit does much more, but I only used the equalizer and dynamic range adjustability functions.
Weakness:
The unit gets very hot and is no longer readily available. Also, I believe it's signal to noise ratio is 100db, which is slightly lower than most head decks today. Personally, I think the negligible noise ratio is totally worth the advantages. Great item. Rare and hard to find, but totally worth a search. Had to special order this product from Kenwood in California from NY when I was younger. Ran $380.00 back in the 80's. Recently picked on up in perfect condition from the internet for $100.00 Similar Products Used: Kenwood head deck. Kenwood component speakers. Boss and Kenwood amps. Kenetic "cap killer" dry cell, and Optima yellow cap battery. |

Strength:
Very good quality, small, multiple display colour, very flexible, easy to use, very good quality.
Weakness:
Gets hot...quite hot but this seems to be designed to work sandwiched into a dash console so it must be able to handle it... System: Similar Products Used: Kenwood analogue unit from a few years ago - very simple, quality was ok but..., casual experience with various Alpines - not too keen on the sound-too clean and perhaps complex for me iMo. |
