Description
Alpine X-S69C
X-Series 6x9″ Component 2-Way Speaker
The New Speakers are the First in a Family of Components with the Alpine ID Sound System Philosophy
These speakers are designed so the user can experience the music as the artist originally intended with the new X-Series speakers taking your sound system to a premium sound quality level.
Alpine introduces the all-new X-Series, an ultra high grade range of speakers that deliver realistic sound reproduction and a spatial sound impression. Providing an advanced level of sound purity, the X-Series employ a revolutionary motor design which uses a powerful neodymium ring magnet enhancing high power handling and dynamic sound. Even more impressive is the innovative carbon graphite hard dome tweeter design, featuring improved high range response up to an astonishing 50kHz.
The Alpine X-S69C X-Series speakers are precisely crafted for high-resolution audio to create a truly authentic listening experience, with every detail and nuance. This is evident with the nano-fibre woofer cone delivering complete clarity and unrivalled accuracy. The X-Series embody high performance and excellence, continuing to uphold Alpine’s philosophy of delivering prodigious sound quality.
With so many vehicles now available with 6x9" speakers in the front doors, these speakers are a fantastic option for upgrading the standard factory speakers and gain a premium sound out of your vehicle.

Alpine Sound ID |
|||
|
Alpine’s top sound engineers from all over the world gathered in the Alpine Iwaki, Japan headquarters to critically evaluate in-car sound from aftermarket and high-end factory systems. While many of these systems were able to perform with wide dynamic range and at sufficient volume levels, there was a lack of reality of instruments, but most predominantly in most systems, a lack of spatial imaging. As a result, Alpine ID was born to address this need. Alpine ID, which stands for “Alpine: Image Defined,” is Alpine’s new global philosophy with an evolutionary approach for solving what’s missing in most car audio systems these days: great spatial imaging and depth of stage. The Alpine ID philosophy centers on developing matched sound systems that work together to create a highly realistic sound stage with great dynamic range (Hi-Res Audio) and sound quality. The matched sound system components allow the listener to experience a new level of realism and engagement while enjoying music in their vehicle. In other words, the listener can experience the music as the artist originally intended. The X-Series speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers create the foundation of sound system components that will feature Alpine’s new sound philosophy. |

| Great Install-ability | All New Motor Structure | HAMR Surround | Included Mesh Grill |
| Alpine uses high-power neodymium magnets for the new X-Series speakers. This means the magnet can be much smaller compared to traditional speaker designs, allowing for a much lower mounting depth and overall space requirement inside the car door. | By using a powerful Neodymium magnet in a radial configuration, we could achieve a very compact motor assembly for a high vehicle compatibility rate. The radial magnet configuration drastically increases magnetic efficiency – resulting in high dynamic and power handling. | The High Amplitude Multi-Roll (HAMR) surround allows a maximum, linear cone excursion for high SPL, while maintaining full control over the diaphragm at any excursion stage for highest sound clarity. | Alpine have included a metal mesh grill to protect the woofer in open installations. |

| X-Series Speakers Frequency Response | |||
| Alpine have aimed to create a speaker system with extended high frequency response to faithfully reproduce the sound stage and the harmonic details of the music. | |||

| X-Series Motor Linearity | Nano-Fibre Cone | New Carbon Graphite Tweeter | Network Design (X-S65C and X-S69C only) |
| Alpine needed to create a speaker with balanced motor force throughout its operating range of motion.
A balanced force factor curve should look identical / mirrored when the cone moves in or out. The Alpine X-Series speakers offer excellent linearity for highest clarity. |
The small-diameter nano-fibers create a cone structure that is lightweight and rigid, for increased sound accuracy. Nano-fiber cones also have good internal damping, so residual energy decays quickly without distorting the original music tones. |
Alpine chose carbon graphite for the tweeter because it is rigid enough to perform like a hard dome tweeter but maintains the natural sound characteristics of a soft dome tweeter.
The tweeter delivers increased accuracy and extended high frequency range (up to 40kHz) without the harshness that is sometimes associated with hard dome tweeters. This allows listeners to enjoy true Hi-Res Audio sound quality. |
The super compact network slides open so you can easily gain access to the adjustment jumpers. You can adjust the tweeter level in 3 steps (-3 / 0 / +3 dB) and the tweeter phase (normal / reverse). |
Critical Evaluation of In-Car Sound
Alpine’s top engineers from all over the world gathered in Alpine headquarters to deeply research and evaluate in-car sound from aftermarket and high-end factory systems. Many systems had a wide dynamic range and reached sufficient volume levels, but lacked the reality of instruments and spatial imaging. As a result, Alpine ID was developed to address this issue.
Alpine: Image Defined
Alpine ID for short, is the new global philosophy with an evolutionary approach for solving what’s missing in most car audio systems these days: great spatial imaging and depth of stage. It centers on developing matched sound systems that work together to create a highly realistic sound stage with great dynamic range and quality.
All-New Design for Overall Improved Performance
The all-new designs are built for maximum linear motor force for realistic reproduction of any type of sound source. Premium materials were meticulously selected to contribute the performance of the X-Series speakers:
- New radial neodymium motor structure: A pole-type neodymium magnet positioned inside the voice coil (as opposed to outside) creates an improved magnetic circuit with less loss for more efficient power delivery. Since the magnet is smaller than conventional designs, it allows the depth of the X-Series speakers to be much shallower and thereby compatible with more vehicles.
- New nanofiber cone: The small-diameter nanofibers create a cone structure that is lightweight and rigid, for increased sound accuracy. Nanofiber cones also have good internal damping, so residual energy decays quickly without distorting the original music tones.
- New carbon graphite tweeter: Alpine chose carbon graphite for the tweeter because it is rigid enough to perform like a hard dome tweeter but maintains the natural sound characteristics of a soft dome tweeter. The tweeter delivers increased accuracy and extended high frequency range without the harshness that is sometimes associated with hard dome tweeters.
Other premium materials used in the X-Series speakers include a cast aluminum frame for strength, and Alpine’s HAMR (High Amplitude Multi-Roll) surround technology for linear range of operation.
