At Alpine, Sonic Excellence is a goal we consider most important. Your
purchase of this component tells us you feel the same. We take great
pride in the long tradition of excellence in sound quality that the Alpine
name represents. Now, as part of that tradition, we welcome you to the
great number of discerning audiophiles who own Alpine products. This
manual has been prepared to help you maximize your enjoyment of the
outstanding performance and features of your new Alpine 3362 Sound
Field Controller.
This component features the reliability and uncompromising engineer-.
ing that are benchmarks of all Alpine products. 18 bands of frequency
adjustment allow you to precisely tailor the response of your audio sys-
tem to compensate for the acoustic environment of your car and, more
importantly, customize the sound to your individual taste.
To realize the exceptional performance capabilities of this product, it is
necessary that all signal sources, amplifiers, speakers, and interconnec-
tion devices are of the highest sonic quality. We recommend using Alpine
Head Units, Speaker Systems, High Quality Interconnection/Speaker
Cable, and Accessories.
Please study this manual carefully and become acquainted with all the
features and capabilities of your new Alpine 3362. Should you have any
questions, please contact your authorized Alpine dealer.
