The sound system is fully integrated using proprietary technology from Firefly Integrations
Auburn Hills, Mich. (Jan. XX, 2023) – Midwest Automotive Designs, LLC, a REV Group® Company, introduces a new complete rear sound system in their luxury custom Sprinter vans. The sound system was specially curated by Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”), a leading manufacturer of electronic components and automotive infotainment systems, and seamlessly integrated using proprietary technology from Firefly Integrations, a developer of multiplex systems for recreational vehicles, marine, and fleets.
"Midwest Automotive Designs is thrilled to announce our latest innovation in enhancing the customer experience. Teaming up with Alpine, we're excited to introduce an unparalleled sound system for our Class-B vehicle. By integrating the all-new Alpine Status speaker’s, powerful subwoofer, and an integrated amplifier, we've taken our already best-in-class sound to new heights. This collaboration redefines the auditory journey for travelers, elevating every adventure with top-quality audio that sets a new standard in the industry."
The sound system is powered by an intuitive Alpine touchscreen source unit and features premium, High-Resolution Certified speakers that are optimally positioned in the van for a premium listening experience. Expert audio tuning overcomes the acoustical challenges posed by the unique cabin environment of the van and allows for near-perfect sound reproduction that elevates the music or movie experience.
“This partnership was built on a shared desire to enhance the user experience with intentionally designed products that easily integrate into the user’s lifestyle,” Kunihiko Sato, Executive Director of the Aftermarket Division at Alps Alpine North America, Inc. “Alpine is excited to partner with Midwest Automotive Designs and Firefly Integrations who share our dedication to providing a luxury experience.”
Using proprietary technology created by Firefly Integrations, the Alpine source unit, which is conveniently installed in the rear of the van for effortless user access, communicates directly with the Firefly touch panel, giving both the driver and passengers of the vehicle the ability to easily access music controls like volume up/down, play/pause, and forward/backward.
“Firefly Integrations prides itself on providing the best multiplex systems in the industry to the most respected manufacturers in the industry,” said Joel Badskey, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “It is our desire to integrate our innovative systems with the best products on the market and adding Alpine to our list helps elevate our offerings beyond anything else on the market.”
Midwest Automotive Designs luxury customer Sprinter vans with the Alpine sound system and Firefly integration technology will be available in both a standard and premium audio upgrade package in various van floorplans.
The audio package will be available in January 2024. More information on the audio package and Midwest Automotive Designs' luxury custom Sprinter vans can be found at www.midwestautomotivedesigns.com.
