Class D3 (Direct Energy HD) Amplifier

With the Direct Power FET directly connected to the print circuit board without any wiring, you can enjoy quality sound, quick response, and high efficiency, as well as save energy. The custom bypass capacitors further enhance the advantages of the Direct Energy HD amplifier, producing powerful bass while also featuring gentle expressiveness. The Class D3 amplifier is ideal for reproducing the latest HD content encoded by Dolby Atmos or DTS:X and high resolution audio.

MCACC Auto Room Tuning

Create the optimum acoustic environment with Pioneer's MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System), developed with the expertise of professional recording studios. With the custom microphone, the system automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level and distance, and equalizes response.

Synchronized Sound with Phase Control

As an innovative solution for the phase lag between the subwoofer and the main channel speakers caused by the bass management filter, Phase Control compensates the delayed bass to improve sound synchronization.

Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

Create the optimum acoustic environment with Pioneer's MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System), developed with the expertise of professional recording studios. With the custom microphone, the system automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level and distance, and equalizes response.

Reflex Optimizer

High directivity sound reflects off the ceiling, while low directivity sound directly reaches the ears. This difference causes a phase shift, making the sound feel uncomfortable. To solve this, the new technology optimizes the performance of your up-firing elevation speakers for your listening environment, by aligning the phase of direct and indirect sound, matching the basic tone, and optimizing the upward-oriented frequencies. The result is overall seamless sound with Dolby Atmos enabled speakers, allowing the ideal reproduction of three-dimensional surround sound.
