Alpine Ships Smaller V-Power Amplifiers

Alpine MRV-M500

Alpine Electronics of America is now shipping its new compact line of budget friendly V-Power amplifiers its 2013 V-Power amplifiers.

The 2013 line is 40 percent smaller than its predecessors and use a new, higher efficiency design for better heat management.

The V-Power amplifiers can connect to an OEM head unit via speaker-level inputs (up to 10V) for a factory system upgrade.

Mono models now have dual internal error correction, which means the audio output signal undergoes two cycles of being analyzed and compared to the input signal, and then error correction is applied.  Alpine says this gives the amps the  highest damping factor and lowest distortion in their class.

The 4th generation of the V-Power models include he following:
