I have sent an e-mail to Alpine UK to find out if PDX series accepts diff. balanced input. I bought the amp purely after reading your sticky post (many thanks and it is very helpful to all others).

However I had serious issues with the amp and finally I had a response from Alpine UK.


Hi, the pdx only takes a single ended line level input, you will need a convertor to use it with the BMW system....

I will be disposing my Alpine amp soon, but you may wish to update your sticky thread with a link to this.

Alpine PDX can be used with MS-8, bit ten / one as they convert the signals to sigle ended.

Also my finding are similar for Audison amps (unless stated on their packaging) and they do not accept differential balanced input.

Thanks.
