Alpine PXE-C80-88 Optim8 8-Channel Sound Processor and Amplifier with Automatic Sound Tuning

The groundbreaking Alpine OPTIM™8 is the ultimate all-in-one solution designed to enhance and effortlessly fine-tune your sound system with remarkable precision.

Enhance your factory or aftermarket radio and sound system with the Alpine OPTIM™8. Featuring a built-in 8-channel amplifier with Hi-Res Audio playback up to 96kHz/24Bit, the OPTIM™8 is the all-in-one sound solution to amplify and effortlessly sound-tune your system in minutes.

Tune your entire sound system in under five minutes with the innovative auto-tuning capabilities of the Alpine OPTIM™8. Using the PC App and a mic kit (sold separately) or the IOS App and built-in microphone on an iPhone® 10 or newer, measure, correct, and tune your system to your desired listening preference through fast and easy guided tuning instructions.

The OPTIM™8 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 OPTIM™8 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 50W x 6 @ 4Ω + 150W x 2 @4Ω or 50W x 6 @2Ω + 300W x 2@ 2Ω, for a solution that’s able to power a full sound system. Digital inputs include Coax and USB (DAC) while a high-level speaker input of up to 30V allows the OPTIM™8 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 six included presets to save your favorite tuning adjustments and access on the fly using the included OPTIM™8 controller.
