PRS — pure audio system
DEX-P9R |
COMPONENT CD RDS TUNER |
Pioneer’s lengthy experience with high-end audio systems continues with the DEX-P9R ultra-high-quality CD RDS component tuner. The DEX-P9R transfers digital data directly from the CD to the audio processors, so you get as close as possible to the original sound, with an absolute minimum of distortion and noise. The DEX-P9R can function alone, but when optically paired with the DEQ-P9 high-tech digital preamp/equaliser, it forms a system with unrivalled audio, DSP and network functions. If you really want to experience what this system is capable of, then make sure to use thoroughly engineered and pure sound-proven amps and speakers, such as the PRS series. Go for an unparalleled listening experience.

Full Digital System
Pioneer’s combination of the ultra-high-quality DEX-P9R component CD RDS tuner and the DEQ-P9, a Universal Digital Preamp/Equaliser, creates a pure audio system that redefines sonic excellence. Pioneer’s acclaimed hi-bit technology converts the original 16-bit CD audio signal to 24-bits, which improves signal linearity and maintains pure audio quality during digital processing. The DEX-P9R has optical digital input for connecting Pioneer’s XDV-P9 multi-DVD player, and optical digital outputs for connecting to the DEQ-P9 off-board digital network. This network features 3 ultra-precise 51-bit Digital Signal Processors to implement the 31-band graphic equalisation with independent Left/Right control, Time Alignment and the 4-way digital network.
The DEQ-P9’s outputs are loaded with six Burr Brown 24-bit multi-bit DACs — the best of the best! Each of the audio output channels features 2 separate DACs, arranged in SignMagnitude conversion mode. This eliminates zero cross distortion, and offers an astounding S/N ratio and an ultra-wide dynamic range. The
final result is unparalleled sonic clarity, faithfully reproducing the resonance of the original recording in any car.
The DEX-P9R also functions as a stand-alone headunit. In this case, external amplifiers can be used to drive the front and rear speakers as well as a subwoofer over the non-fading pre-out. Each of the outputs from the DEX-P9R features a 4 Hi-Volt pre-out, and the analogue conversion is done using Burr Brown 24-bit multi-bit DACs.
To get the most from the DEX-P9R, however, Pioneer strongly recommends using it in combination with the DEQ-P9. The DEQ-P9 has a 4-way output, for driving a low-range woofer, a midrange speaker, a tweeter and a subwoofer. This can also be adapted to a low midrange woofer, a tweeter, a subwoofer and full-range rear fill speakers, if required. The external amplifiers are driven by the DEQ-P9’s Hi-Volt outputs. These very high-quality outputs use their own balanced plus/minus PWM power supply, to minimise noise and distortion.
Audiophiles will also appreciate Pioneer’s attention to detail. The aluminium front panel and elegant blue OEL display of the DEX-P9R are a sight to behold. For absolute perfection, choose the display off mode to eliminate noise created by the display’s power circuits. Special touches such as the copper-plated chassis for reducing noise inducing eddy currents, gold-plated RCA terminals and the use of 99.99 % pure Oxygen-Free Copper in the RCA cables make these products the acoustic perfectionist’s dream.

PRS — amplifiers
Pioneer’s PRS amps are designed to drive speakers to the limit — or rather, beyond the limit. Thanks to the MOSFET power supply, these amps offer more distortion-free sound power than ever before. In addition, a 4-channel crossover (PRS-X340) gives you several power options, while a high/low switch lets you choose between 3 – 9 kHz or 40 – 120 Hz. The bandpass filter makes bi-amplifying a breeze. So, if you want truly awesome power, it's even possible to mount two PRS series amps together.
Mount PRS Series Amps Together
Mount two PRS series amplifiers together to create one massive amplifier. The mounting feet on the interior side can be removed or rotated inward to allow the amplifiers to mount flush against each other.
Intelligent Power System
A car’s normal 12 V ~ 14 V power supply restricts output power to a theoretical limit of about 50 W through a 4 ohm load. For more power, all Pioneer PRS amplifiers use a PWM Regulated MOSFET power supply unit to boost the car’s line voltage and control their own power supply.
This control is exercised by Pioneer's Intelligent Power System, which does everything to ensure you get peak power output without noise by giving an extra current boost to the speakers to compensate for any drop in voltage caused by other electric loads in the car. You can now have the power you crave.
MOSFET Devices for Optimum Performance
Pioneer MOSFET output devices, incorporated in all Pioneer PRS series amplifiers, offer significant advantages over traditional bipolar devices such as faster switching results, less crossover distortion and less noise. High power used to mean high heat and resistance that could lead to noise — but not anymore. Pioneer PRS amplifiers use a PWM Regulated MOSFET power supply unit that's designed to keep its cool even under pounding pressure.
With full MOSFET-driven power supplies and MOSFET output sections, Pioneer PRS amplifiers are better than ever at delivering power!

PRS — recommended system set-ups
To get the most from the DEX-P9R, Pioneer strongly recommends using it in combination with the DEQ-P9 and the PRS amps and speakers, to create a variety of system set-ups that suit your sound preference and in-car audio characteristics. In both the configurations shown below, the external amplifiers are driven by the DEQ-P9’s Hi-Volt outputs. These very high-quality outputs use their own balanced plus/minus PWM power supply to minimise noise and distortion. Create the ultimate system by using the DEQ-P9 in its 4-way (low, mid, high, subwoofer) configuration for optimum performance. Each band has its dedicated speaker, while the Crossover Network and Time Alignment feature allow for each band to be precisely tuned. Result: perfectly balanced acoustics. If you prefer to work with a 2-way plus subwoofer system, the resulting extra channel won't go to waste. It can be used to drive a full-range rear fill speaker and will enhance the rear seat acoustics.

To bring out the full potential of the DEQ-P9, set up a front 3-way system plus subwoofer, as shown here. This system configuration guarantees the utmost in accurate sound staging.
* For specific needs — even in this system configuration — rear speakers can be added via the DEX-P9R’s rear RCA output.
The front 3-way configuration in this system consists of a low and midrange speaker and a tweeter, driven by the DEQ-P9's active network. The rear 2-way configuration is driven through the mid-output channel of the DEQ-P9. This mid-output can be used as a full-range output, which can then be combined with the UD-N2PRS crossover network to drive a 2-way system. The rear speaker's sound output will improve the ambience, while also giving rear seat passengers a better listening experience.

pioneer sound tuning
Pioneer is definitely a respected name on the international tuning scene. Talented professionals count on the high-quality standard of Pioneer products to win. That’s why Pioneer high-end gear consistently appears in the most impressive combinations and award-winning cars at many international tuning shows. Continuously launching innovative products with breakthrough technology, Pioneer will certainly make a strong showing in the Sound Quality and SPL (Sound Pressure Level) competitions. Pioneer is also proud to be an official sponsor of the 2003 EMMA (European Mobile Media Association) sound competitions. Check out several of the finest show cars available, loaded with top-of-the-line Pioneer products.
PIONEER EUROPE’S MERCEDES ML430
Showing sound professionals how it is done isn’t easy. That’s why the Pioneer Europe’s Mercedes ML430 will be on tour this year, to showcase the best sound quality and installation with state-of-the-art Pioneer equipment. Loaded with the best that Pioneer has to offer — the DEX-P9R component CD tuner; two loudspeakers in the front door: TS-C1300R for the mid-high range, TS-C1700R for the mid-low range; TS-T3PRS tweeters in the dashboard; TS-M7PRS and TS-T3PRS in the rear door; PRS-X340 amplifiers and TS-W12PRS subwoofers — it is certain to be a familiar face at a majority of sound events across Europe.
LARS KARLSON’S MERCEDES W124
With a winning mentality and knack for selecting the best equipment, like Pioneer PRS, Lars Karlson is a true sound competition professional. A powerhouse in the Swedish and European championship scene since 1998, you can expect to see his new customised Mercedes dominating the expert class in the IASCA (International Auto Sound Challenge Association) and EMMA competitions. He’s already won two world titles in the Expert 600 watts class and scored highest in the Best Installation category at the EMMA 2002 finals. With the purest and highest sound quality Pioneer units in his car, he’s set to defend his titles for 2003.
DMITRY MATVEEV’S MINI COOPER
Only the best would do for this stylish little demo number — from installation to equipment, even to the car body paint job. And all of this was in the hands of Dmitry Matveev and the AM-Style Company. Matveev was the 2000 Europe Sound Contest champion in the professional class. When designing the sound system, he chose the hallmark DEX-P9R CD tuner, connected via an optical cable to the DEQ-P9 digital preamp/equaliser. Next step was adding TS-T3PRS tweeters and a TS-C1300R speaker system in the dashboard, TS-M7PRS mid-bass drivers in the doors, and topped it off with a TS-W12PRS subwoofer in the passenger compartment. PRS series amplifiers installed in the side walls complete the look, matching the chrome
steel cover plates. The entire system is perfectly integrated to complement the hip looks of the new Mini. No wonder it was a star at the MIMS 2002 Exposition in Moscow, and was lauded with a diploma from the Russian Designers Union.

With a sizzling 1000 W of maximum output power, the sound is overwhelmingly crisp thanks to the digital processing. Class-D amps require less electrical current which means less distorting heat throughout the system without bulky heat sink surfaces. With its powerful design and Pioneer technology, this compact amp fuels your subs and speakers for hyper-clean sound without distortion — at power levels
which have to be experienced to be believed.

Technology Class-D Amplifiers
Class-D amplifiers overcome the inefficiencies of traditional Class-A or AB amplifiers. Pioneer’s GM-D500M and GM-D505 Class-D amps transform very little power into heat while a very high percentage of the power supply (67 %) is transferred into the load. This results in a very compact amp which needs little input power to produce very high output power.

Subwoofer
The high amplifier power required to drive a subwoofer causes unstable current and voltage, which not only goes to the subwoofer but also to the front and rear speakers. As a result, the sound quality is affected and distorted.

Subwoofer
A Class-D amplifier needs only 2/3 of the current of a conventional amplifier, so the power supply to both subwoofer and front and rear speakers is more stable. As a result, the sound quality will not be affected, so you can enjoy a very clean sound output without distortion.
The Class-D amplifier’s PWM (Pulse Width Modulator) modulates the original audio input signal with another signal which has a much higher fixed frequency. The result is a digital signal which contains the input signal and a band of frequency components around the modulation frequency. A LPF (Low Pass Filter) will then filter out the 350 kHz frequency pulses and the resulting amplified output signal is then sent to the subwoofer and/or speakers.
The advantage of this amplification is that the power output FETs operate like a switch that is ‘on’ or ‘off’: when ‘on’, the FET acts like a closed switch, no voltage runs through its terminals, and no wasted power is transformed into heat.
This is why Pioneer’s Class-D amp’s heat sink can be kept very small, and a stable load can be pumped into your subs and speakers to create a maximum of undistorted, clear sound.

Get More SPL with the Overhung Surround
To boost SPL output, Pioneer engineers faced the challenge of increasing the cone surface area while keeping the same size. The result is Pioneer’s new patentpending overhung surround design for the TS-W5000SPL. The wide-roll surround extends over the typical gasket area, creating 22 % more cone surface, closer to a 38 cm subwoofer. More moving surface area achieves the higher sound pressure levels you need to come out ahead.

To prep the TS-W5000SPL for +170 dB SPL drag races, Pioneer developed a new patent-pending Ceramic-Coated Voice Coil wire that doubles the power handling capability compared to conventional voice coils. There’s no overheating thanks to the superb insulation properties of the ceramic coating, thus no short circuits or “burn”. You can count on this sub to perform up to par and deliver a winning moment — time after time.

The Right Stuff: Interlaced Fibre Reinforced IMPP Cone
An extremely rigid yet lightweight cone is vital to prevent cone failure at high sound pressure levels. Pioneer’s new patent-pending IMPP cone meets this need perfectly. It incorporates a proprietary composite blend of long carbon fibres for the TS-W5000SPL, glass fibres/carbon fibres for the TS-W121SPL and TS-W101SPL or Aramid fibres for the TS-W305C and TS-W255C. The fibres interlace
together to form an exceptionally resilient fibre weave, which provides the strength and rigidity for low distortion, clean and extremely powerful bass. The stuff that champions are made of!
High dB Durability: 3-layer Fibre Woven Radial Surround
The whole range of new Pioneer subs is outfitted with a patent-pending 3-layer Fibre Woven Radial Surround design. The surround consists of two outer layers (rubber for the TS-W5000SPL) and one inner layer of interwoven fibre (Aramid fibre for the TS-W5000SPL) with a honeycomb weave for even distribution throughout the surround material. This eliminates weak points and improves the high power capability for an extremely durable and resilient surround that resists puckering, even under the extreme power conditions of SPL competitions.
3-layer fibre woven radial surround: an extremely durable and highperformance radial surround
Massive Force of the High Power Motor Assembly
The huge triple-stacked motor assembly of the TS-W5000SPL uses three massive, power-packing magnets — at 3 kg each — to drive the voice coil and cone with incredible force, moving the cone assembly as hard as possible to overcome the tremendous air pressure resistance experienced in world class SPL (+170 dB) competitions. The TS-W121SPL and TS-W101SPL feature a double-stacked magnet assembly; the TS-W305C and TS-W255C models feature a dual mass magnet assembly which also provides exceptional force for superior bass. Either way you go, these subs really stack up!
Solid Support: Aluminium Die-cast Basket with Bottom Hold Structure
During high SPL levels, the motor assembly is placed under extreme pressure. So Pioneer developed an exclusive aluminium die-cast basket which securely supports the motor. This basket structure prevents any unwanted flex or vibration that can cause energy loss and reduce overall performance. A solid winner!

Dual Voice Coil Subwoofers
The flexible wiring configurations of the Dual Voice Coil (DVC) subwoofers when used in combination with a low load impedance compatible amplifier, can give an even bigger and more powerful bass reproduction capability. DVC subwoofers have 2 voice coils, of 4 ohm impedance each. Connect the voice coils in parallel for the power of a 2 ohm subwoofer or connect them in series and get an 8 ohm subwoofer. These in turn allow various installation configurations, enabling the creation of a truly superior system.
Additionally, some headunits can combine MOSFET 50 W x 4 with the Crossover Network (Low Pass Filter) of the EEQ (Easy EQ) Plus system, enabling you to connect these subwoofers without amplifiers.
