Product Description
The next generation of Alpine S-Series amplifiers are designed to take your car audio experience to the next level without breaking the bank. With a sleek new redesign and upgraded features from their predecessors, these amplifiers offer exceptional performance and power on an affordable budget.
The S-Series S2-A36F 4-channel amplifier delivers 60 Watts RMS @4 Ohms or 90 Watts RMS @2 Ohms of pristine high-fidelity signal to each of your car’s front and rear speakers, adding sweet, clear sound to your vehicle.
The amp brings your music to life being Hi-Res Audio certified, with its precise details and emotional power clearly revealed with a frequency response up to 40kHz. For a 3-channel 2-way system, you could also use the amp to drive a pair of front speakers with 60 Watts RMS each, while powering a subwoofer with 180 Watts RMS from the bridged rear channels. A variable mid-bass boost on those rear channels allows you to dial in some extra kick and impact to your system’s low-frequency sound. You can even add the optional wired remote RUX-KNOB2 to control the level of the rear channels from your front seat.
High- and low-pass filters put you in command of the frequency spectrum that reaches your speakers and subs. The amp includes preamp- and speaker-level inputs, so you can install it in almost any vehicle, even one with a factory radio. When using the speaker-level inputs, the amp can sense the incoming signal and turn itself on, eliminating the need to run a separate turn-on wire to the receiver or fuse box.
S-Series amplifiers are available in two mono, a 4-channel and a 5-channel configuration.
What is Hi-Res Audio?
With Hi-Res Audio streaming services and music downloads available you can now appreciate a higher sampling rate than in CD’s for the playback of music, which brings your favourite music tracks to life with extreme clarity. Alpine’s Hi-Res Audio Certified Head Units, Amplifiers and Digital Signal Processors are painstaking engineered to deliver faithful audio reproduction from high resolution sources and recordings with sample rates up to 192kHz/24Bit. These components are optimised for high definition playback and breathtaking performance, true to the artists original recording.
Why Hi-Res Audio?
Listening to Hi-Resolution Audio allows you to feel every emotion and hear every nuance; every detail of your favourite artist’s original studio performance is reproduced to perfection. Hi-Res Audio provides absolutely no distortion for the ultimate listening experience.
Why Hi-Res Audio Certified?
Hi-Res Audio goes beyond the limits of ordinary amplifiers and speakers. To accurately render the sound of Hi-Resolution sound sources and recordings in true high definition the reproduction of an extended dynamic frequency range right up-to 40kHz is paramount.
Hi-Res Audio Certified
The Next-Gen Alpine S-Series S2-A55V 5-Channel Amplifier is Hi-Res Audio certified and able to reproduce up to 40kHz frequency response. This ultra-wide bandwidth coupled with the elevated S-Series design brings out a new benchmark for entry-level performance and price.
Power-up and Tune-up with Mid-Bass EQ
Build a solid 4-Channel system with the A-S36F to power-up an aftermarket or factory OEM head unit with upgraded speakers. Making sound even better, with its new unique variable Mid-Bass EQ Circuit, the S2-A36F allows you to dial in the mid-bass impact as desired, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more dynamic and powerful audio experience.
Designed for Supreme Performance
The S-Series line-up Class-D design delivers a new level of sound quality and reliability, so you can hear the full power and clarity of your music without the concern of shutdown. Equipped with high-quality parts and precision manufacture brings incredible performance and value way beyond their modest price and nearest rival.
Easy Control Access
The amplifier was intentionally designed with sound controls located on the side panels, instead of the top panel, making it easier to access gain and crossover controls when installed under vehicle seats or in shallow-depth locations. Removable end caps were added to cover the side controls and connections, providing a clean, sleek finish to the amplifier.
Control Your Subwoofer
Conveniently control your subwoofer directly from the dash with the optional RUX-KNOB.2 remote bass knob controller. This accessory is also applicable for the S-A32F for when channels 3 and 4 are bridged.
Flexible Application
New to the Next-Generation S-Series amplifiers is a new selectable remote turn-on circuit, a three-position switch that ensures the amplifier turns on and off at the proper times. This design is crucial with newer, in-vehicle technology and allows for proper integration with any factory or aftermarket system.
