Like the Halo9, the Halo11 leaves little to be desired in terms of features. The most important features include DAB+ digital radio, 3 preamplifier outputs, playback of Hi-Res Audio, FLAC, MP3 and WMA files, an HDMI input and output for external screens or DVD players.
With Android Auto and Wireless Apple CarPlay, the Halo11 also allows you to use many apps installed on your mobile phone while driving. These include navigation apps such as Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps, or music apps such as Spotify and Amazon Music.
As an additional highlight for music enthusiasts, the ALPINE Halo11 supports the music streaming service TIDAL - lossless and MQA certified. This makes ALPINE the first manufacturer worldwide to offer Hi-Res Audio streaming in the car audio sector.
For excellent sound quality, a fully digital amplifier is built into the devices of the Halo series, also for the first time worldwide. This means that an astonishing output of 4x 50 watts/RMS is already available without additional amplifiers.
With the integrated 56-band parametric equaliser, you can also get the optimum sound quality out of your existing speaker system and adjust it to your personal preferences.
The Halo11 also has 2 camera connections for Alpine HDR direct cameras that can be operated via the touchscreen. The camera direct button can also be used to quickly activate the rear camera while driving.
For the Fiat Ducato 8, a version of the Halo11 with a tilt and swivel display is also available (iLX-F115DU8S). The 11-inch touchscreen with an HD resolution of 1280 x 720p (WXGA) can be flexibly adjusted in all four directions to suit the conditions and personal preferences in the vehicle. Before installation, the screen can be moved inwards or outwards by 20 mm, and in height by as much as 60 mm. After installation in the vehicle, the screen can then be tilted forwards by 45 degrees or backwards by 20 degrees at this position. Horizontally, a swivelling radius of ± 10 degrees is possible for the driver or passenger.
The new ALPINE Halo 11 is available both as a universal unit for any vehicle with a 1-DIN installation slot, and as a custom-fit installation set for many of the common motorhome base vehicles. The installation sets consist of the vehicle-specific brackets and plastic panels as well as the matching cable sets and interfaces, which continue to guarantee the operation of all vehicle functions, such as the steering wheel remote control.
Currently, the Halo11 is offered in a complete package including installation material for the following vehicles:
There will also be a solution for the VW Crafter in the near future.
An optional volume control knob (RUE-BK01) is available for the Alpine Halo11, which can be mounted on either the left or right side of the unit, or anywhere else in the vehicle. The connection to the Halo11 is wireless via Bluetooth.
