Alpine Imprint Sound Manager 2.1 ⭐ Tested

The software kept losing connection to the PXA-H800. Fix: Do not use a USB 3.0 (blue) port. Force the Alpine driver to use a USB 2.0 port or a USB 2.0 hub. Also, disable USB selective suspend in Windows Power Options.

I spent the weekend running the Imprint auto-tuning (mic calibration) on my 3-way active front stage + sub setup. Version 2.1 of the Sound Manager is much more stable than the legacy 1.x versions, but I ran into two specific quirks. Also, disable USB selective suspend in Windows Power Options

Thanks.

Any help on the BT RTA issue is appreciated.

In v2.1, the "Link" button (for stereo pairing of channels) is now hidden under a right-click context menu on the channel strip. If you can't figure out why your left and right EQ aren't mirroring—right-click the channel number.
