MOST input |
The first high end direct replacement and upgrade amplifier for BMW’s with Top Hifi Audio Systems running on optical input signal like Logic 7, Individual Audio, Harman Kardon. That sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo so what does it mean?
Up until now if you had a BMW with one of the premium audio systems branded as Logic 7, Individual Audio or Harman Kardon and equipped with an optic input signal you had no choice but to either build a custom and very expensive audio system using multiple electronic components like a line converter or MOST to analog converter followed by either a multichannel amplifier or even more than one multichannel amplifier. This was certainly no task for the average DIY’er.
The Alpha One LightWave amplifier has an optical transceiver built into it allowing the amp to effortlessly receive the optic digital input signal. To the naked eye it looks like a solid red light similar to what you have seen on home theater equipment. There are many significant benefits to having an integrated solution like this.
Thanks to this built-in input you will retain full use of your iDrive fader, balance bass, treble and multi-band equalizer control as our amp talks to your head unit and carries out everything it is told by the iDrive system. Even things like phone call, navigation prompts or park distance control sounds will continue to be at your control just like from the factory.
The second reason for which the direct optic input in the LightWave amplifier is a huge deal is the fact that the audio signal arrives at the DSP processor in its original form without any conversions along the way which gives the DSP as clean of an input signal as possible. This translates directly into the possibility of achieving outstanding sound quality when the iDrive system is being fed with a high resolution input signal like from your favorite subscription based music streaming service.
Having mentioned the DSP processor - the unit used in this amp is an extremely powerful 533MHz Blackfin Digital Signal Processor. It is the brain of the operation thanks to which all of the crucial signal processing that you’ve known our amps for can take place. It has all the goodies we need for channel mapping, endless amounts of parametric EQ, High/low/band-pass filters, time alignment, gain control etc. - you name it, we got it.
Needless to say as always at Alpha One we will set all of those for you and ship your amplifier pre-tuned to sound great right from the get go. The LightWave Amplifier has 4 Tuning file banks and what’s even more exciting is that you’re going to be able to switch between two of them directly through your iDrive system without ever leaving the drivers seat. Just like getting a burger at your favorite drive through. All you need to do is toggle the Surround/Logic 7 function on and off in the iDrive system to switch things up.
It’s difficult to say what is the most important part of the puzzle for delivering exceptional sound quality. One thing is for sure without the robust variable 4 phase intelligent power supply and combined with top of the line class D output stages it wouldn’t have been possible to make such a powerful, 90% efficient car audio amplifier.

The first high-end direct replacement and upgrade amplifier for BMWs with Top Hi-Fi audio systems running on optical input signal like Logic 7, Individual Audio, or Harman Kardon.
Thanks to the built-in optical transceiver of Lightwave, you can say goodbye to custom, complex, and very expensive audio setups based on multiple electronic components. Now, instead of a line converter or MOST to analog converter followed by one or more multichannel amplifiers, simply replace your factory amp with Alpha One Lightwave Amplifier.
Less conversion means unparalleled audio quality usually only found in meticulously built home or studio stereo systems. But in the comfort of your BMW cabin!
The Alpha One Lightwave amplifier can effortlessly receive the optic digital input signal. Why is it important? Well, there are many significant benefits to having an integrated optical transceiver.
Thanks to this built-in input, you retain full functionality of your iDrive fader, bass balance, treble, and multi-band equalizer control – our amp talks to your head unit and does everything the iDrive system tells it to. Even things like phone calls, navigation prompts, or park distance control sounds will continue to be at your disposal, just like from the factory.
Additionally, the audio signal arrives at the Lightwave’s powerful 533MHz Blackfin Digital Signal Processor in its original form without any conversions along the way. This gives the DSP as clean of an input signal as possible, translating into an outstanding sound quality.
With such a potent DSP as the brain of the operations, Lightwave has everything that’s required for channel mapping, endless amounts of parametric EQ, high/low/band-pass filters, time alignment, gain control, and much more. Needless to say, as always at Alpha One we will set all of those for you and ship your amplifier pre-tuned to sound great right from the get-go.
The Lightwave Amplifier has 4 tuning file banks. What’s even more exciting is that you will be able to switch between 2 of them directly through your iDrive system. All you need to do is toggle the Surround/Logic 7 function on or off to switch things up.
Packaged into a surprisingly small unit, all of the above results in excellent sound quality, even with the factory OEM BMW speakers. And you get a whole kit for plug-an/bd-play implementation.

In most cases you’ll have the speakers working in 3 easy steps:
Remove trim panels
Unbolt and swap the stock speakers with Alpha One Speakers.
Reinstall the trim.

All our [[tag_1]] stereo upgrades are designed with easy installation in mind. Confident DIYers will even be able to install a full set of speakers and our amplifier upgrade themselves, at home, in only a few hours. Learn more about how easy BMW audio system installation can be.
Don't want to tackle the job yourself? We also work closely with a global network of authorized dealers. Find your nearest audio shop.
Upgrading from the [[tag_1]] factory speakers to our Alpha One kit will make a huge difference to the quality of the sound in your vehicle. We use premium materials and a carefully honed design for improved clarity and performance, giving a more refined, enjoyable sound. With around 30% greater power handling than the standard OEM speakers, Alpha Ones are also capable of greater volume in appropriate setups.
Owners of vehicles with a basic factory stereo — without tweeters or a separate amplifier — will notice an even greater improvement when adding both components to their system with our Alpha One kit and Alpha One Amplifier.
The Alpha One speakers are a marked step up from any other plug-and-play speaker kit on the market; both our speakers and amplifier are meticulously designed from the ground up for optimal performance in your [[tag2_and_mini]], for a truly remarkable sound out of the box.
But a lot goes into building a great sound system, and standout speakers like the Alpha Ones are just part of the puzzle. Other companies can offer speakers, but only BimmerTech has the combined decades of experience working with BMW electronics and audio expertise to create equipment that perfectly matches your vehicle’s factory stereo.
When buying a Alpha One Amplifier alongside your Alpha One speakers, we are also able to tune the amplifier to match not only your vehicle, but also the speakers you have fitted (Alpha One or OEM). This results in a far better sound than you’d get from a one-size-fits-all solution from another brand.
Yes. We designed the Alpha One speakers to perform in BMWs with a range of stereo systems, including the most basic options without a separate amplifier. The Alpha Ones will still be a noticeable improvement over the factory speakers. To make the most of your new speakers, however, you may want to add our Alpha One Amplifier amplifier.
Yes. Adding Alpha One tweeters to a vehicle that did not come with tweeters from the factory will require replacing a trim piece in the front doors, in which the tweeters will be mounted. After selecting your model, you'll see the list of parts you will need to purchase to install your kit. Contact us for more information.
Almost no mainstream aftermarket speakers have the power handling to take full advantage of the extra wattage provided by a more powerful amplifier. Even our Alpha One Amplifier is tuned at less than its full power output to prevent overloading the speakers. More powerful amplifiers are useful only in custom speaker installations usually requiring dedicated speaker enclosures.
The true benefit of our Alpha One Amplifier isn’t just the increased power, but the improvement it can make to the quality of the sound, thanks to the 64-bit DSP and high signal-to-noise ratio. Our expert audiophiles use this capability to tune your amplifier to suit your specific vehicle and speakers, meaning you’ll get a more pleasant sound than you would from an amplifier that hasn’t been professionally adapted to your vehicle, whatever its specs on paper.
Our amplifier is designed to perform best with the BMW OEM HiFi speakers or our Alpha One kit. With either of these sets, we will tune the amp to bring out the best in your speakers. If you upgrade to the Alpha Ones at a later date, we will provide a tuning file to adjust the amplifier’s tuning for your new speakers.
The Alpha One Amplifier can also be used with other aftermarket speakers, but we are not able to provide dedicated tuning files. For optimal performance, we recommend using Alpha One subwoofers.
We have chosen not to publish frequency response graphs for our speakers because we don't believe this information is useful in a car audio scenario. The interior of your vehicle — including its size, shape and materials — is going to have a significant impact on the sound you actually hear, and this won’t be shown on a frequency response graph.
We took frequency measurements during the development process, but the sound that really matters is the sound in situ in the car, where we did the bulk of the tuning work when developing our Alpha One kit.
We have published specifications for our speakers on our website in the 'Specification' section to make it easy to understand what each speaker offers.
In terms of other aspects of the speakers' design, we have purposefully chosen specifications that are well suited to use with either a factory [[tag_1]] amp or our own Alpha One Amplifier. This balance of capabilities is what gives our speakers such an impressive all-round performance.
How many speakers you will need depends on factory [[tag_1]] speaker system. But with BimmerTech, you don't need to replace them all at once; you can upgrade as many or as few speakers as you want.
For most vehicles, we offer three prepared BMW speaker replacement kits:
You can even choose speakers individually, if you aren't looking for a full BMW car stereo upgrade yet.
We do not offer a money-back free trial. If you don't have the opportunity to hear the Alpha One speakers for yourself before buying, you can check out what our happy customers have to say about their phenomenal sound:
Yes, we offer a full range of MINI Cooper stereo upgrades, for both the standard sound system and the premium factory options made by Harman Kardon. MINI Cooper owners will enjoy the same ease of installation and impeccable sound BimmerTech is known for in the BMW world.
