OPTIM8® 8-Channel Sound Processor and Amplifier with Automatic Sound Tuning via Smartphone or PC (AutoEQ 2.0)

The ultimate all-in-one DSP and Amplifier, designed to effortlessly measure, tune, and optimize any sound system from the palm of your hand.

ALL-IN-ONE AUDIO SOLUTION

The Alpine OPTIM8® combines an advanced digital sound processor and a powerful system amplifier into one sleek, all-in-one solution. With full control from your smartphone using the intuitive Alpine OPTIM app, you can effortlessly fine-tune your system in minutes through a simple, self-guided process. Whether upgrading a factory sound system or building a custom setup, the OPTIM8® delivers professional-grade audio performance with unmatched convenience and precision.


SIMPLIFIED SOUND TUNING WITH AUTOEQ 2.0

The Alpine OPTIM8® transforms complex audio tuning into a simple, step-by-step process—fully controlled from your smartphone. No PC required. Available on both Apple iOS and Android devices, the intuitive Alpine OPTIM app with AutoEQ 2.0 scans your vehicle's interior environment—accounting for speaker placement, seating position, and reflections—and then intelligently adjusts frequency response, timing alignment, and audio output. The result is a perfectly balanced, immersive soundstage, custom-tuned to your unique vehicle cabin.

POWERFUL AMPLIFICATION, SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

The Alpine OPTIM8® combines 8 channels of dynamic power with precision audio control, delivering clarity and performance across every channel. Whether you're enhancing a factory sound system or building a custom setup, the OPTIM8® provides clean, powerful amplification that brings your music to life. Pair it with Alpine's S-Series speakers and subwoofers for an upgraded audio experience that delivers deep bass, crisp highs, and rich mids in perfect harmony.


INSTANT PRECISION WITH CENTER IMAGE MODE

With the innovative AutoEQ 2.0 software, the Alpine OPTIM8® app delivers Center Image Mode, giving you a perfectly balanced soundstage at the click of a button. This feature automatically adjusts time alignment and frequency response, positioning vocals and instruments right in front of you for a front-row listening experience. Whether you're driving solo or with passengers, every note remains crisp, clear, and perfectly centered, making every drive feel like a live performance.

PRESETS FOR EVERY PLAYLIST

The Alpine OPTIM8®, enhanced with the AutoEQ 2.0 software, introduces four distinct Target Curve Presets-Preset 1, Preset 2, Preset 3, and Default. These presets let you quickly switch between sound profiles tailored for different music styles and listening preferences. Whether you're craving deep bass, smooth acoustics, or balanced clarity, the OPTIM8® adapts instantly to match your mood. With the included OPTIM8® Controller (RUX-CSP1), switching presets is effortless, letting you fine-tune your audio experience with a simple turn of a dial.
