Which to me is very important as I prefer to be watching the road while driving and not the Head Unit!<\/p>\n<p>The sound of the <strong>Alpine CDE-141E&#8217;s<\/strong> is quite impressive when you take in that it is in an entry level price point. The <strong>3 Band EQ<\/strong> does it job well and you can tell a big difference in the sound after changing the settings even slightly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Alpine_CDE_141E_2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3471\" title=\"Alpine_CDE_141E_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Alpine_CDE_141E_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Alpine_CDE_141E_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Alpine_CDE_141E_2-300x118.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>General<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>50W x 4 High Power Amplifier<\/li>\n<li>CD:MP3\/WMA<\/li>\n<li>Front USB:MP3\/WMA<\/li>\n<li>Blue\/Red Color Illumination<\/li>\n<li>LCD Display<\/li>\n<li>2 PreOuts (Full\/Sub selectable)<\/li>\n<li>Detachable Front Panel<\/li>\n<li>Tag Language (Eng only)<\/li>\n<li>Remote control incl.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wide Media Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iPod<\/li>\n<li>Work with Nokia (MSC)<\/li>\n<li>Portable devices (AUX)<\/li>\n<li>CD Mechanism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sound Tuning<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BassEngine with MX<\/li>\n<li>Bass center adjustment &#8211; 60\/80\/100\/120 Hz<\/li>\n<li>Bass width adjustment &#8211; Q 0.5\/1\/1.5\/2<\/li>\n<li>Mid center adjustment &#8211; 500\/1K\/1.5K\/2K Hz<\/li>\n<li>Mid width adjustment &#8211; Q 0.75\/1\/1.25\/1.5<\/li>\n<li>Treble center adjustment &#8211; 7.5K\/10K\/12.5K\/15K Hz<\/li>\n<li>Treble width adjustment &#8211; Q 0.75\/1.25<\/li>\n<li>Subwoofer Level Adjustment<\/li>\n<li>MediaXpander<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Overall the <strong>Alpine CDE-141E<\/strong> is a VERY affordable USB\/iPod Head Unit that is easy to use and doesn&#8217;t need the <strong>Alpine<\/strong> iPod\/iPhone Cable that the previous models needed to work with iPod\/iPhones, plenty of functions but not to many to confuse the user and has a nice subtle look that would suit most cars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alpine has never been know for big changes in the way their products looked so when I first saw the Alpine CDE-141E I wasn&#8217;t to sure about it, at first it was like it had lost that old Alpine character but after using it for awhile I realised was for the best as it has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3464"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3464"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5969,"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3464\/revisions\/5969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abtec.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
