Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Fujifilm FinePix X100 by Dave Bar Today's point-and-shoot cameras make great pictures easier than ever From baby's first steps, to that dream vacation in the islands, these cameras make it easy to capture life's greatest hits. Today's cameras have helpful automatic features, like face detection and scene recognition that make shooting more foolproof than ever. And they all have plenty of megapixels for detailed photos that stay sharp, even when you enlarge and print them. The fixed-lens rangefinder of the '50s meets modern technology At first glance, you'd swear it's a mint-condition, high-end rangefinder camera from the '50s or '60s with a vintage look and feel, including machined-metal controls, a sturdy metal body, and leather-grained surfaces. Instead of an interchangeable zoom lens, there's a light-sensitive fixed lens that's group-shot friendly. Grandad had to "zoom with his feet" when taking those amazing family pictures; this lens works the same way, and gives you the opportunity to make images with the same emotional impact. But closer inspection reveals that it's more, far more. Underneath the classic exterior lies cutting-edge technology that gives you the power to capture stunning digital photographs. The Fujifilm FinePix X100 was designed especially for those who love camera gear and relish taking direct, hands-on control of the entire photographic process. A fine-tuned, picture making machine Every element of the Fujifilm X100 was designed from the ground up for this specific camera, creating a whole that's far greater than the mere sum of its parts. The custom SLR-sized image sensor works hand-in-hand with Fuji's advanced EXR image processor to deliver superior low-noise images with incredible detail and clarity, even in lighting conditions that would have lesser cameras throwing in the towel. That big sensor was also specially customized around the X100's razor-sharp Fujinon lens. An optical masterpiece, this fixed lens design features a large f/2 aperture with a nine-blade diaphragm to provide ample brightness in dim settings. It also lets you keep your subjects crisply focused while creating a beautiful, softly blurred background. Advanced hands-on controls and the world's first hybrid viewfinder The X100 offers easy-to-reach, manually operated controls for making precise shooting adjustments, including a lens-mounted aperture ring and top-mounted shutter speed dial. The top-mounted exposure compensation dial makes fine-tuning your images a snap without taking your eye from the viewfinder. And speaking of viewfinders, the X100's is truly revolutionary. Its hybrid design lets you frame your shots through a crisp, bright optical finder perfect when you want to view subjects with maximum clarity and keep shutter lag to a minimum. Or, with the flick of a switch, you can change it over to a high-res electronic viewfinder that lets you quickly confirm focus, exposure, white balance and depth of field while shooting the scene. And you can even use the EVF's vividly accurate display to review your results.

Features Inputs and Outputs Notes Supplied Software Image Capacity Features Retro Design: The Fujifilm FinePix X100 digital camera is designed to look like a classic 35mm film camera with many of the features of a high-quality DSLR. It has a synthetic leather-wrapped body with a die-cast magnesium top and base, and precision milled metal rings and dials. The fixed focal length lens is protected by an aluminum lens cap. 23mm Lens: The X100 is equipped with an f/2 23mm fixed focal length Fujinon lens. The camera has a 3x digital multiplier which extends the focal length to 105mm (35mm format). Note: The camera does not allow for interchangeable lenses. LCD Monitor: The X100 has a 2.8" color LCD monitor featuring approximately 460,000 dots and approximately 100% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode. When shooting, you can choose from a standard display, a custom display, or a detailed display. Hybrid Viewfinder: The camera is equipped with the world's first Hybrid Viewfinder, which is switchable between an optical viewfinder and electronic viewfinder. As you bring the camera up to your face, an eye sensor in the viewfinder will switch automatically to viewfinder mode. A built-in diopter allows you to adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight, either with or without glasses. Details of each type of viewfinder include the following: Optical Viewfinder (OVF): The Reverse Galilean Optical Viewfinder offers a wide field of view (approx 26°) for maximum clarity with no shutter time lag. It has a integrated 1,440,000 dot bright frame LCD panel to display shooting information. It has approximately 90% frame coverage and 0.5x magnification. Electronic Viewfinder (EVF): The 0.47" High-Definition Electronic Viewfinder provides 100% coverage and detailed shooting information with its 1,440,000 dots of resolution. You can preview focus, depth of field, exposure, and white balance before you shoot, and view the photo instantly after shooting. Image Sensor/Processor: The FinePix X100 features a 23.6mm x 15.8mm APS-C, square-pixel customized CMOS image sensor with 12.3-million effective pixels. The new EXR Processor features dual CPUs, EXR core and a Reconfigurable Processor for HR (high resolution), DR (wide dynamic range), and SN (high sensitivity/low noise) images. This high-powered processor allows you to enjoy HD Video and high-speed continuous shooting. Recording Media: Still images and movies can be recorded onto optional SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards. The X100 also has an internal memory of approximately 20 MB to allow you to store a few test images in case your memory card is full. Still Image Quality: The FinePix X100 records still images in JPEG format in 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratios in three sizes and two compression ratios. In addition, RAW images can be recorded from the raw, uncompressed image data from the camera's image sensor. RAW format images must be processed on a computer using the supplied RAW File Converter application software. You can also shoot a RAW + JPEG image at the same time, with separate RAW and JPEG files recorded and stored. JPEG 3:2 Image Sizes JPEG 16:9 Image Sizes L: 4288 x 2848 M: 3072 x 2048 S: 2176 x 1448 L: 4288 x 2416 M: 3072 x 1728 S: 1920 x 1080 HD Movies: The X100 can record 1280 x 720 (16:9) high definition movies in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 at 24 frames per second (fps) with stereo audio. Individual movies files cannot exceed 10 minutes in length, regardless of the capacity of the memory card. A Class 4 SD memory card or higher is recommended when shooting HD movies. Motion Panorama: The camera is capable of taking panoramic images by panning the camera through one of two angle settings. As you pan the camera, multiple frames are recorded and automatically stitched together in the camera to create the panoramic image. The Motion Panorama options are: Motion Panorama 180°: Vertical: 2160 x 7680 (16.6M) Horizontal: 7680 x 1440 (11.1M) Motion Panorama 120°: Vertical: 2160 x 5120 (11.1M) Horizontal: 5120 x 1440 (7.3M) Shooting Modes: The Fujifilm X100 lets you set the shutter speed and aperture automatically or manually. The shutter speed and aperture settings combine for four shooting modes: Shooting Mode Shutter Speed¹ Aperture² Program AE Automatic Automatic Shutter Priority Manual Automatic Aperture Priority Automatic Manual Manual Manual Manual ¹ Shutter Speed Options: Auto, 1/4000, 1/2000, 1/1000, 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, Time (selectable 1/2 to 30 sec), Bulb ² Aperture Options: Auto, F/2, F/2.8, F/4, F/5.6, F/8, F/11, F/16 ND Filter: The X100 is equipped with a Neutral Density (ND) filter that reduces exposure by the equivalent of 3 EV. This allows slower shutter speeds or wider apertures to be used with brightly lit subjects, making it possible to blur motion or soften background details without risk of overexposure. ISO Sensitivity: You can manually set the camera's sensitivity to ISO 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, or 6400. Extended settings are equivalent to ISO 100 (Low) or ISO 12800 (High). The Auto settings will adjust the sensitivity settings according to the shooting conditions. The higher the sensitivity setting, the better the camera is at reducing blur in poor lighting conditions, however, high settings can result in more noise in the recorded images. White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. You can select Auto, Direct Sunlight, Shade, "Daylight" fluorescent lamps, "Warm White" fluorescent lamps, "Cool White" fluorescent lamps, Incandescent light and Underwater (requires waterproof case). In addition, you can measure for a white balance value or display and select from a list of color temperatures. Film Simulation: The X100 can simulate the effects of different kinds of film, including black-and-white. You can select one of the following options: Provia/Standard: standard color reproduction Velvia/Vivid: a high-contrast palette of saturated colors, suited for nature photos Astia/Soft: a soft-toned palette of less-saturated colors Monochrome: standard black-and-white Monochrome + Y Filter: black-and-white pictures with slightly increased contrast; tones down the brightness of the sky Monochrome + R Filter: black-and-white picture with increased contrast; also tones down the brightness of the sky Monochrome + G Filter: softens skin tones in black-and-white photos Sepia: takes pictures in sepia tone Color Space: Depending upon how you intend to use the image, you can choose the output color space at the general sRGB setting or the broader color rendition of Adobe RGB. Exposure Compensation: Using the dedicated Exposure Compensation dial on the top of the camera, you can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure a total of 13 steps from -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. Exposure compensation is available in all shooting modes except Manual. Continuous Shooting: You can capture motion in a series of pictures using the Continuous Shooting mode. At shutter speeds faster than 1/100 second, the camera can take pictures at 5 frames per second. At shutter speeds faster than 1/10 second, the camera can take pictures at 3 fps. Focus and exposure are determined by the first frame, and the flash is turned off automatically. Pictures are recorded when the shutter release button is held down. Shooting stops when the shutter button is released, 10 JPEG or 8 RAW pictures have been taken, or when the memory is full. Self-timer: The camera gives you the choice of a 10-second or 2-second self timer. The 10 second self timer is recommended for self portraits, while the 2-second self timer is used to reduce blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed. Auto Focus: In most cases, the X100 uses contrast-detection TTL (through the lens) Auto Focusing. You can choose between two AF Modes: Single or Continouous. You can also focus manually using the focus ring on the lens. Focus Range: The camera's focus range is approximately 2.6' to infinity. In the Macro mode, the focus range is approximately 3.9" to 6.6'. Flash Modes: The FinePix X100 has a built-in flash with an effective range of 1.6' to 29.5'. Red-eye removal minimizes the "red-eye" effect, and is available for each flash mode. You can choose from the following flash modes: Auto: flash fires automatically as required by the shooting conditions Forced Flash: flash will fire whenever a picture is taken Slow Synchro: auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds (tripod recommended) Suppressed Flash (Off): flash does not fire, even when the subject is poorly lit. Light Metering: The X100 uses 256-segment, TTL (through-the-lens) metering, where the camera automatically assesses the scene and selects the optimum exposure. You can select from three metering options: Multi, Spot, or Average. Viewing Images: Images can be played back one-at-a-time or in a variety of multi-frame views. Multi-frame options include a 5-frame cascading display (two previous and two following frames cascaded behind the highlighted image), a side-by-side two-frame display (with smaller thumbnails of the previous and next frames, 9-image grid (3 x 3) and a 100-image grid (10 x 10) of micro-thumbnails. In the 9- and 100-image grid views, the highlighted image is slightly enlarged. Image Search: The Image Search function lets you search pictures by the following criteria: Date: Search for photos by date Face: Search for photos that include faces Favorites: Search for photos by rating Type: You can easily search your pictures according to the type of photos: still photos, pictures taken in burst mode, or movie footage. Upload Mark: Search for pictures selected for upload to a specified destination. Playback Zoom/Cropping: You can enlarge a still image in the monitor according to the image quality (size). After you have zoomed in and scrolled the picture to the desired composition, you can create a cropped image of a picture. Copies will have an aspect ratio of 3:2, and will be saved as a separate file. Resize: To create a small copy of a picture, you can select "Resize" from the menu. The new images vary in size with the original image. Slide Show: You can view pictures in an automated slide show. You can select normal playback, normal playback that zooms in on faces, or multiple pictures at once. Printing Pictures: Using DPOF (Digital Print Order Form), you can designate which images to print, and whether to print them with or without date. Pictures can be printed as followed: Printer or Photo Lab: plug the camera into a Pictbridge-compatible printer, insert the memory card into a compatible printer, or take the memory card to a digital photo lab Transferring to Computer: transfer the images to a computer before printing them Power Requirements: The FinePix X100 is powered by the supplied NP-95 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A fully-charged NP-95 is good for approximately 300 shots. The supplied BN-65N battery charger will charge an NP-95 battery in about 210 minutes. Auto Power Off Function: When the camera is operated on battery power, the Auto Power Off function will automatically turn off the camera to reduce the drain on the batteries if no operations are performed for 2 minutes or 5 minutes, as set in the menu. Regardless of the option selected, the camera will not automatically turn off when connected to a printer or computer, or when a slide show is in progress. FinePix X100 Accessories: The following accessories are made specifically for the FinePix X100: AR-X100 Adapter Ring EF-20 Shoe Mount Flash EF-42 Shoe Mount Flash LC-X100 Leather Case LH-X100 Lens Hood and Adapter Ring NP-95 Battery: Spare Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery Inputs and Outputs Notes Digital In/Out: The FinePix X100 features a single proprietary jack for connecting the supplied USB cable.

This is a superb camera that you won't be able to put down. Outstanding image quality, build and design. With its heft and optimal size, it feels great in your hands. This camera will put your creativity to the test with its fixed focal length lens but isn't that what great photography is all about? There are some quirks to this camera to be sure, but, just like anything else, once you are used to them they become second nature. Highly recommended for travel, landscape, architectural and street photography. Sports, wildlife and fast-action subjects will be more challenging but not insurmountable with practice. Slower than optimal auto focus prevents a five-star rating but this remains one really great camera. Pros: Image quality, switchable electronic/optical viewfinder, build quality, controls positions, programability Cons: Slow auto focus, non-intuitive menu design 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Well built camera Written By Patrick, Atlanta, GA on Thursday, October 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The X100 feels heavy, and solid in the hands. So far the pictures (jpg's) I've taken have been great. The red, green, and yellow filter settings for b&w pictures are a very nice touch. Be careful though - the shutter speed dial, exposure compensation setting and the rear dial ring on back are easy to change by accident if you're not careful, but it's an excellent camera for those who want to experiment with both manual settings as well as automatic. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Microbiology is the study of organisms that are too small to be seen by the unaided human eye. Such organisms include protozoa, algae, fungi, lichens, bacteria and viruses. Microbiology is one of the most important and exciting of the biological sciences. Not only is it a basic biological science, which has provided us with much of our understanding of the chemical and physical principles behind living processes, but it is also an applied biological science, dealing with aspects of medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, food technology and pollution control.
In the microbiology major, you will study the diversity of the microbial world, how microbes grow and function, their genetics and genomics, their ecology and their interactions with other organisms.
For more information on the program structure and content, view the Science Undergraduate Handbook.
Major outline
Please note that discipline units in Microbiology begin at intermediate level (ie. second year).
You will start preparing for your intermediate and senior units in microbiology by including biology, mathematics, chemistry and molecular biology and genetics among your first year junior units. It is a good idea to plan ahead and have an idea of which senior units you need to complete, so that you can plan your junior and intermediate prerequisite units accordingly.
You will take intermediate units of study from the microbiology subject area, which are prerequisites for your senior units of study. Your studies will cover food microbiology, the microbiology of health and disease, industrial microbiology and biotechnology.
Example second year units
Microbial Life
Microbes in Society
In order to successfully complete a microbiology major, you must complete at least 24 credit points of senior units of study from the microbiology subject area. You will be covering microbes in infection, virology, pathogens, and microbial biotechnology.
Example third year units
Microbes in Infection
Molecular Microbiology Concepts
Molecular Microbiology Research Skills
Medical and Applied Virology
Graduate opportunities
Employment opportunities for microbiology graduates are diverse. You can find work in teaching and research organisations, such as schools, universities, CSIRO, departments of agriculture and biotechnology companies and you can participate in major programs of applied or basic research.
You might start your career in the fields of medical and public health microbiology in hospitals, private pathology laboratories, and government health services. Alternatively, you might find employment as a technical representative for laboratory supply houses, in the pharmaceutical industry, in sterility testing and quality control, and in the wine, brewing and dairy industries. In recent years employment opportunities in environmental microbiology have also been increasing.
Some recent microbiology graduates have been employed by organisations such as the London School of Tropical Medicine, CSIRO, the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories, Sydney Water, Mauri Foods Research and Procter and Gamble.
Further study for major
Many microbiology graduates choose to continue their studies and undertake honours and postgraduate work towards a higher degree.
If you are eligible, a research honours year is the perfect way to find out whether you have the aptitude or ability for research in a specialised area of microbiology and allows you to focus on the intellectual and practical challenges of a research project by conducting original research under the supervision of a member of our academic staff, culminating in the presentation of a thesis. The School of Molecular Bioscience offers microbiology honours projects in a wide range of research areas including molecular microbiology, microbial genetics, applied and environmental microbiology, biotechnology, and virology.
If you do well enough in your honours year, you might be eligible to apply for a higher research program like a PhD, and take your studies of microbiology even further. The School of Molecular Bioscience cultivates a research-based culture and offers the following microbiology related areas of research: development of microbial biocatalysts; genetics of the bacterial cell envelope; evolutionary origins of variation in bacterial species; fungal proteomics, and much more.

WFMU out of Jersey City is like a shining tower on a hill broadcasting the amazing creative potential of free form listener-supported radio to the world. Sandy opened up some kick-ass on them as she was passing through, taking down both of their FM transmitters and frying a bunch of computers and equipment. They were down for a couple days but didn't take long to brush their shoulders off and get back on air.
Unfortunately, their annual Record Fair was canceled since the venue where it was scheduled was without power, meaning one of their biggest funding sources for the year was gone, like the dough they laid out in advance to organize and promote it.
But listeners have rallied to help out and it could have been worse. Some kind of aural providence kept these blessed stacks good and dry.
Even their collection of glitterized album cover art was spared.
Photos by Brianna Wilson
And, thank heavens, their cassette copy of The Rudy Schwartz Project's Yodelin' Satan. Still, the months ahead at WFMU won't be easy without a little help from their friends. Good thing they've built quite the cache of goodwill with all the weirdness they've infused into the airwaves lo these many years.

19th C. Poetic Enamel Earrings
Enamel portrait earrings are typically thought of as Swiss in origin. Often the most experienced of the masters of these pieces moved to the larger city centers such as London or Paris.
Crafted of 18k yellow gold for the wires and 14k to 15k gold for the rest, this pair of circa 1870 earrings is of a two element design with details reflective of the rococo era. Each earring presents a hand painted enamel portrait of a pastoral scene of a child at rest intently engaged in the reading of a book. The portrait is beautifully rendered in a variety of vivid colors ranging from robin's egg blue sky to various shades of verdant greenery.
Both of the children are dressed in simple peasant garb of an earlier time. Backed with mother-of-pearl, the portrait has a surround of twenty-two (22) natural half pearls (untested but assumed natural due to examination and age) and is crowned with a lyrical scrolling ornament. Each scalloped shaped surmount is centered with a cultured pearl.
Measurements: 1-11/16 inches (4.2 cm) in length including ear wire by 11/16 of an inch (1.7 cm) at the widest. Width of top portion of earring is 3/8 of an inch (1 cm). Weight of 7.6 grams (4.9 dwt) for the pair.
Hallmarks: French hallmarks to the later ear wires.
Condition: Excellent for the enamel and pearl surround; later ear wires; replaced top pearls in each earring.
Date: Circa 1860 - 1870.

I would like to say that my thoughts are with the victims and families of those affected in Aurora, Colorado.
I'm still not sure what motivates an individual to commit such heinous crimes, but I do know the difference between the fiction we see on screen and the reality that we live in.
Film is supposed to be an escape. We watch and suspend our reality for the sake of storytelling and entertainment. Done properly, film is art with a cathartic effect, and help us shape the way we look at the world.
We are each meant to interpret the information we see. My hope is we use that information to make the world a better place for all of us.

Rated PG-13
There are a lot of moving parts in the third chapter of Director Christopher Nolan's take on the Batman franchise. I found they fit together well, although I saw several repetitive film ideas come into play.
The Dark Knight Rises takes place eight years after The Batman (Christian Bale) takes the blame for Harvey Dent's crimes. Now, a ruthless thug named Bane has ambitions to destroy Gotham City with a nuclear weapon. Batman has to come out of retirement to fight the baddies again.
Bane (Tom Hardy) is an especially well played bad guy because of seemingly present sense of wanton destruction. Because of a partial mask, you only see a portion of his face. The distraction only increased my fear of him as the film went on.
There are at least five subplots running alongside teach other: 1. Will Batman return. 2. Will Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) do the right thing? 3. Who is Officer Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) 4. What's with the nuclear power thingy. 5. Why is Alfred crying so much. They go on and on.
Paying attention pays off for this one. Paying attention to Anne Hathaway really pays off.
I enjoy all the darkness from Nolan. Not just the story, but the setting, mood and lighting are all dark. A brilliant use of strobe effect in the dark I especially liked as Batman advances on a bad guy in the sewers under the city. It's well done action.
The symbolic theme of leadership and responsibility pop back up again. Revealed as Batman, Bruce Wayne has to explain to Officer Blake his reasons for becoming a caped crusader. It's been a while. The symbol of justice, the any-man nature of the mask, the hope for our future. It's great superhero material., but it also adds to the really long 2h 45min run time.
If any of these plot points sound familiar, that's because they are in every movie ever made. Will the hero return? Will those sitting on the fence choose the right side? Are things darkest before the light? You know the answers. It's just whether you're surprised when they happen.
For The Dark Knight Rises. I was surprised 75% of the time. While I don't think this is the greater film of the trilogy, I will say I was left wanting more.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Alpine MRV-M500 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Compact powerhouse Alpine makes it a little easier to get great bass in your vehicle, especially if you drive a compact car. Their V-Power Series MRV-M500 mono subwoofer amplifier sends up to 500 watts RMS to your sub, guaranteeing some powerful bass on your drive. And Alpine made this amp so small — it's got less than an 8" by 8" footprint and it's just over 2" tall — it can fit almost anywhere. Thermal protection without annoying shut-downs The MRV-M500 uses a technology called Enhanced Shutdown Performance, which rolls back the output a bit when the amp threatens to overheat from playing at its limits too long. Instead of shutting down completely, it continues playing your music, until it cools enough to return to full power. Convenient features A low-pass filter puts you in command of the frequencies that reach your sub, while a bass boost lets you apply plenty of low-end punch. The amp includes preamp- and speaker-level inputs, so you can install it in almost any vehicle, even one with a factory radio. If you're using the speaker-level inputs, the amp senses an incoming signal and turns itself on, eliminating the need to run a turn-on wire run back to your vehicle's receiver or fusebox. If you're a tweaker, you'll appreciate the end-piece terminal covers that can be snapped in and out without the need for any tools.

This voluntary standard advocates a uniform method for measuring an amplifier's RMS power output and signal-to-noise ratio. The criteria for measuring power uses a DC input voltage of 14.4 volts and the RMS power output is measured with 1% or less Total Harmonic Distortion plus noise (THD+N) over a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (for full range amplifiers). Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4Ω. CEA-2006 allows consumers to compare car amplifiers and receivers on an equal basis. Using CEA-2006 criteria, the Alpine MRV-M500 is rated as follows: Power Output: 4Ω: 300 watts x 1-channel (<0.2% THD+N) 2Ω: 500 watts x 1-channel (<0.3% THD+N) Signal to Noise Ratio: 85 dBA (105 dB at rated power) Speaker Level Input: A speaker level input harness is included, making it easier to add the amplifier to a factory radio or to a receiver with no preamp outputs. The 8-pin harness has inputs for front and rear speakers. While only two speaker inputs are necessary, wiring all four will minimize the fader's effect on the subwoofer output. Auto Turn-on: If using the speaker level input, an automatic circuit turns the amplifier on when it senses an input signal. Low Pass Filter: The amp is equipped with a 50-400Hz variable low-pass filter with a slope of 24 dB/octave. This being a mono subwoofer amp, the crossover is always engaged. Bass EQ: The Bass EQ circuit provides a variable boost (0-12dB) at 50 Hz. Wired Remote: An RJ-25 jack is provided for connecting an optional RUX-KNOB wired remote (item number 500RUXKNOB, sold separately), allowing remote control of the output level of the amplifier. Connections: Battery: set screw terminal; accepts up to 4 gauge wire Remote: set screw terminal; accepts up to 8 gauge wire GND (ground): set screw terminal; accepts up to 4 gauge wire Speaker Output: set screw terminals; accept up to 8 gauge wire Line Inputs: 1 pair of stereo RCA jacks Line Output: left and right channel RCA output jacks to daisy-chain another amplifier without having to run an additional set of cables; the output is not affected by the MRV-M500's internal crossover Speaker Level Input: Molex plug input for supplied 8-pin harness Wired Remote: RJ-25 jack for optional wired remote Note: Alpine recommends 4 gauge power and ground wire (minimum).

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Best Amp for the $ Written By xpgdeadone, Portland OR. on Wednesday, March 05, 2014 By far The best amp I have ever owned. I had to add my review after reading the 2 reviews that only gave this 4 stars. For one if your digital Alpine amp is getting hot you need to learn how to install an amp as its digital it doesn't draw much heat to begin with. Then to the guy that says its just ok. You sir need to learn how to adjust an amp and realize its pure watts not the garbage you get in most amps. Pros: Everything. Cons: none 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Doesn't move my voltmeter at max rms volume. Pros: Small and powerful. Cons: Couldn't afford two. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Powerful Compact Affordable Amp Written By B, South Florida on Saturday, August 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this amp to power a compact kicker 10" speaker rated for 600 watts. Alpine always rates their amps below actual output so although rated at 500w the actual test page that comes with the amp shows an output of almost 570w. The amp more than produces. Sounds great. Has enough adjustments on it to refine the sound without breaking the bank. Love the remote bass knob as well, it's a must as you can control the level from the front seat. Pros: Great price, Compact, Puts out ample power, Accepts Alpine Rux Knob. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Alpine impresses again Written By Dylan J, Lihue, Hawaii on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Alpines amps are amazing and this model is no exception. It produces clean power to the subwoofer right when it needs it most. I installed this amp right under my seat in my 2008 tacoma and it still has plenty of room to breathe. This little amp packs a big punch! I recommend this to anyone looking for lots of efficient power in as little space as possible. Pros: Size. Response. Efficiency. Ease of installation Cons: None so far Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Amp Written By EricB, Arlington Hieghts, IL on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed the MRV-M500 with the RUX knob. I'd argue the Rux knob is a must for instant gain control of the sub. It's powering two Polk DXI104's in parallel . Sounds tight and clean. Pros: RUX knob gain control works great to instantly control gain. Small form factor Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Amazing Written By Dcline15, Edwardsburg, MI on Saturday, August 17, 2013 This amp can deliver. Each amp that alpine sells comes with a little card that tells you when it was made and how much RMS or power it was putting out at the time of testing. I have had this amp for awhile and I am not suprised by the results. Alpine is a true brand you can trust and has and hopefully always will be. This amp is only rated for 500 RMS but the sheet that came with it said it was putting out 566 RMS. And i was surprised that they said it could really put so much out foe being so small. So i went and had it tested, the amp really put out almost 600 RMS. Which is just amazing. This is just one amazing amp I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a cheap but reliable system in any vehicle. This amp is small and can be put just about anywhere you need it to go, under your seat or behid a bench seat or even right on the box. Where I have mine at is right on the side of my sealed box. This amp is small enough to were it will fit right in the wedge part of it. I give this Amp all 5 Stars!!! Pros: Small Powerfull Sleek Futuristic Clean Easy to hook up and tune Solled its heavy but not to heavy but it still feels like you can toss it around and will hold up to wear and tear for years Cons: NONE!! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Smaller with more power! Written By Thntx, GA on Friday, July 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well, Alpine has delivered once again. A little history first. In my previous car, I had an Alpine MRP-M450(rated at 400w @ 2ohm) and was attached to two 10" subwoofers. The sound was awesome, it fit nicely under the driver seat and the power was great. After many years of service I had to say goodbye when the car sold. Fast forward to the new car and the new Alpine MRV-M500. Space was even a bigger issue as I did not have as much room under the seat as I had in the old car. The MRV is almost 40% smaller. So, it fits! It's also rated at 500w, nice increase for sure. Also, the price was the same as the old one was 4 years ago. Are you kidding? It is powering two Polk DXi 104s and it hasn't broken a sweat. 140+ dB at the windshield. Sound quality is what you would expect from Alpine: nice and warm. Pros: Plenty of power, great sound and good looks. Cons: None! 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 great amp! Written By Travis, Arizona on Thursday, July 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have this powering a pioneer 10" shallow sub in a hidden .65cf box in my VW GTI. Rated at 500w RMS @2ohms, but mine came with a certificate certifying it at 576w RMS, not bad! Running at 4 ohms it should be a bit over 300 RMS, and its more than enough good, clean power to keep a smile on my face with all types of music. Oh, and its tiny too! Pros: Price, size, looks, rux knob compatible, but most importantly, sound! Cons: none! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Alpine MRV-M500 Written By 58Driver, Greenville, SC on Friday, June 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The perfect amp to supplement speakers powered by a head unit only. Running it at 2ohms driving 2 SWE-10S4's this thing isn't breaking a sweat. It doesn't even get warm. The compact size made it easy to mount, and it easily accepted my 4 ga. power and ground wires. The blue light is pretty cool visually. Bottom line, this is a great amp to balance out the bass. Pros: Compact, powerful, attractive package Cons: None 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 decent amp Written By todd, Logan, OH on Friday, June 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I thought it would make my alpine 12" type s pound harder than it did but still hits pretty good. Pros: Great price Cons: Gets hot and its only turned up half way. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great, efficient amp! Written By DLW, Mansfield, TX on Sunday, April 28, 2013 Alpine continues to impress! This amp's footprint is so small that it allowed me to mount it on the side of my under-seat enclosure in my truck, making for a very attractive install. Also, this small amp packs a PUNCH! I've got it running at 2ohms, pushing two 10" Tobys (www.tobyspeakers.com). It sounds AMAZING! The blue square that lights up is neat-looking at night. When driven hard, this amp barely warms up. I anticipate this amp will give me years of phenomenal music. Pros: Size Simplistic design Power Brand Price per watt 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Plenty of Power Written By Jason S., Jena, LA on Saturday, April 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed this amp a couple of weeks ago in my 2010 Honda Insight. Hooked it up to a JL Audio HO110RG-W3v3 and it pushes this speaker to the max. Had to wait a while for the subwoofer to properly break in, but now it slams the bass. A must have for this amp is the RUX-KNOB that goes along with it. So easy to give different bass levels for different types of music or just different songs in the same genre. Each of the amps comes with it's own certificate showing how many watts it actually made at the factory before it was shipped. My certificate showed 572 watts and I have no reason to doubt this. I have the gain turned up on the amp and the RUX-KNOB has to keep most of the songs in check so there is no distortion. You would need to buy a subwoofer that could handle more than 500 watts before you start to dial up the bass boost. Even after listening at max levels for about one hour, the amp is warm, not hot. Never had it go into safe mode either. It was very easy to set up, connect and get running. Small size makes it easy to find a place to mount. This amp definitely is worth every bit of it's price. It's power makes me consider the fact that I could hook up a W6v3 and it would be able to push that speaker to the max also. Don't hesitate to get this amp and the RUX-KNOB to go with it. Can't be beat. Pros: POWER!!!, RUX-KNOB, small size Cons: NONE 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Straight to it, using this "little" amp, w/ 4g power, to push a JL 12w3v2 in a sealed sub enclosure. It rocks out tight crisp bass. Possibly it's my alternator, however, w/ it's 'd' class rating I do NOT need a capacitor. It fits fine under the front seat of my Mazda3i next to the Alpine PDX4.150 pushing my 4 high pass speakers ( JL's C5-5x7's ) By the way, I am using my OEM HD unit w/ the ' Audio Control LCQ-1' line converter w/ EQ , from Crutchfield, and I have no noticeable whine and great sound. Pros: cost, efficiency, size, line bass control ( optional ) Cons: have none 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 100% !!! Written By SamS, Maryland on Thursday, April 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This Alpine 500 watt mono amp is 100% GREAT!! 1st, it is Alpine which is a great company and has been making leading amps and subwoofers since day 1 so you know it will perform well. This amp replaces the Alpine mrp-m500 which is pretty much the same amp, same specs except as far as specs go this one can go up in Hz ( up to 400 Hz ). I dont know why you would need to go that high, but its there if you want to.This new version also has a beautiful sleek design and look to it, but best of it is SMALLER than the Alpine mrp-m500 and LESS WEIGHT so you can insatll and fit this almost anywhere you want. The old version Alpine mrp-m500 is a great amp and i would still buy and use it now. ( it is a little bit cheaper and you get same specs, performance and results ) but if you are tight on space or want to be able to mount your amp anywhere you want, go with this Alpine mrv-m500 as i did.( to me it was worth the little extra money ) You will not be dissappointed! I hooked up this amp to just a single 10" Alpine SWS D4 subwoofer in a 4 dr Honda Accord and it sounds incredible for just a single 10" sub. ( better than my 2 12" Alpine type E subwoofers powered by an 600 watt mono amp in my Audi A6 ) I would recommend this to anyone and I would buy this amp again and again! Pros: SUPER LIGHT EXTRA SMALL PERFORMS GREAT BEAUTIFUL SLEEK LOOK CAN BE MOUNTED ANYWHERE, EVEN IN TIGHT PLACES ITS ALPINE GREAT PRICE FOR WHAT YOU GET Cons: NONE WHAT SO EVER 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 questions already asked I just bought this amp and I've bridged two 10" Alpine Bassline subs so that it sets the impedance at 2 ohms and 500w RMS which is exactly what this sun is rated for. All connections are okay but this amp gets extremely hot and I saw that this amp is supposed to handle the heat pretty well which is why I was very surprised once I noticed how hot it gets. Are the subs just too much to handle? Alpine even suggests using this amp for the their Basslines so I don't see what the problem is. [ Joseph Jul 30, 2014 ] 1 answer My amp is connected to a JL W3V3 in the HO box, so it gets run hard too. I have noticed mine gets hot also, but it has never shut off or had any issues. [ JASON A Jul 31, 2014 ] Can I connect the MRV-M500 to dual subwoofers? or do I need 1 amp per subwoofer? I have dual 12" subwoofers in a box. [ Clyde Mar 30, 2014 ] 1 answer Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your subs I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system. [ Krissy Staff Mar 30, 2014 ] I have noticed that since i have owned this amp that it gets VERY warm at times, i dont even keep the gain all the way up yet i have had time where it gets very hot, alot more so than the version of this amp that this replaced. Anyone else have this? [ Rexx Jan 07, 2014 ] 4 answers when I first installed the Alpine MRV-M500 in my car, I noticed that about, in the first six hours, it was very very warm, but after that, it has been working fine, I did not do anything to fix it , I've had this amp for five months, and when I touch it with my hands, hardly feel hot and the music in my car listening very clear, I also noticed that the sound of my 12'' subwoofer had a change, now also the sound is strong but does not have much power as punch to make my car shake or vibrate as Previous amplifier that I had, but still I like it because all my music is heard entirely clear. [ ALEJANDRO Jan 16, 2014 ] i have never even felt mine get "hot". the only time i check it is during the summer on the really hot day (99-102). have you try mounting the amp so there's a space under? And maybe try an open mounting position, meaning good air flow. mines on top of my box dual subwoofer 12in box. and its taking up the whole back part part of my extend cab s-10. you might just have a bad amp to. one of the main reasons i bought this amp was the fact of its thermal protection. [ STEPHEN D Jan 07, 2014 ] I have this amp mounted under back seat in Chevy truck, so I'm unable to monitor heat, if any. [ WILLIAM Jan 07, 2014 ] Even though I have a hatchback where the amp can get plenty of air, I have noticed that it gets hot, but has never gone into protection mode or declined in performance in any way. The gain on my amp is almost all the way up too. I'm pushing a JL Audio HO 10" W3V3, so the amp is matched up well. I am not a car audio expert, I just know that the amp keep working with a heavy load.
