True Realism

Reproducing an Impressive Sound Field

Multi-Channel
Stereophonic
Philosophy

The synergy of overwhelming soundscape and spectacular vision unfolds

before you as the utmost reality. Without compromise, we’ve dedicated

ourselves to honing our technology—all for the faithful reproduction

of what the creator intended. To unleash every piece of emotion and

passion contained in the master sound. That’s the essence of Pioneer’s

Multi-Channel Stereophonic Philosophy.

Design for Quality Sound

“Minamoto” of our AV receivers originates in the careful

selection of high-grade materials for precision performance.

With its overwhelming expressive power, the Direct Energy

HD Amplifier conveys the full surround atmosphere and

successfully recreates studio quality sound.

Ideal Reproduction Environment

“Waza” derived from our acoustic research and technological

resources is used to accurately reproduce the artistic expressions.

MCACC and Full Band Phase Control technologies provide

the ideal sound eld by adjusting speaker phasing. e result

is stereophonic feeling sound, just as they were originally

intended.

Sound Tuning by Experts

“Tamashi” is what ignites the listener’s emotions. Premium

sound is attained through rigorous sound tuning sessions

with the discerning ears of professional recording engineers.

resulting in improved sound quality.

ESS SABRE32 Ultra DAC for SC-LX901/
SC-LX801/SC-LX701

The highly acclaimed 192 kHz/32­bit ESS SABRE32 Ultra DAC
(ES9016S) is adopted to deliver exceptional sound, with
ultra-low distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio. It offers
jitter-free performance for an astounding audio reproduction
with rich deep bass, bringing out the full potentials of
Pioneer’s Direct Energy HD amplifiers.

AKM 384 kHz/32-bit DAC for SC-LX501

The SC-LX501 features AK4458, a 384 kHz/32-bit
premium audio DAC from AKM (Asahi Kasei Microdevices
Corporation). With the latest low-distortion technology, the
DAC provides detailed and clear sound, ideal for Hi-Res
Audio playback. The 32-bit digital filter creates natural and
detailed sound.

Low ESR Custom Capacitors

Low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
custom capacitors are adopted to improve
the S/N ratio. These exclusive audio parts
realise highly transparent sound.

PML MU Capacitors by Rubycon Corporation

The polymer multi-layer MU capacitors
(PML MU) co-developed with Rubycon
Corporation provide clear and open high­range sound.

NJM4585 Op Amp by JRC

The NJM4585 operation amplifier co­developed with New Japan Radio Co., Ltd.
features low distortion and high-resolution
reproduction across a wide bandwidth.
These selected parts bring out the full
potentials of the Direct Energy HD Amplifier.

Low Leakage Flux Power Transformer

The power transformer of the SC-LX901 features minimum
leakage flux, ensuring low noise with increased S/N ratio.

Separated Pre and Power Ampliers Blocks

Being compact and highly efficient, the Direct Energy HD
amplifier has allowed remarkably smaller heat sink and
greater flexibility in circuit design and layout, and the ideal
separate structure with independent pre and power amplifier
blocks is realised. Additionally, the power supply for digital
and analogue circuits has been isolated to provide clean
power, significantly contributing to clear signal transmission
which is the basis for high-quality sound.

Clean Grounding with Insulated Dual Chassis

Steel plates shield the power amplifier block to eliminate
unwanted noise caused by mutual interference, while
Pioneer-original Insulated Dual Chassis connects the power
amplifier’s chassis to the main chassis via special insulators.
The pre and power amplifier blocks are electrically
separated, enabling the optimal ground design for each
block. With thorough clean grounding and elimination of
interference between the circuits and load changes, the
sound quality and performance equivalent to separate
amplifiers combined within a single chassis is achieved.

Insulators

Anti-Standing Wave Insulator

The Anti-Standing Wave Insulator has been developed
through repeated listening tests, featuring a special form
with no parallel sides inside to prevent cavity resonance.
This makes the sound localisation, tone, and scale clearer,
while also enhancing the seamless connection between the
channels, and the response to quick sound. The insulator
enriches the realistic spatial description for movies, and the
space representation of a concert hall for music sources.

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. The system—complete with custom microphone—
automatically compensates for differences in speaker size,
level and distance, and equalises response.

Acoustic Calibration by MCACC

Before Calibration

Speaker distance, sound pressure level, and
frequency response are all uneven.

The sound field is automatically
measured using the supplied mic.

Full Band Phase Control

The further advanced Full Band Phase Control technology
focuses on the group delay in the speaker network filter, and
compensates with special digital signal processing (DSP),
to adjust the phase of each unit as well as the group delay
for each speaker. Full Band Phase Control gives multi-range
speakers the sound coherence of full-range speakers, while
retaining the wide frequency range advantage.

Reex Optimizer

High directivity sound reects o

the ceiling, while low directivity
sound directly reaches the ears. When using Dolby-enabled

speakers, this dierence causes a phase shift, making the
sound feel uncomfortable. To solve this, the Reex Optimizer
optimizes the performance of your up-ring 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-enabled speakers,
allowing the ideal reproduction of three-dimensional surround
sound.

When using Dolby-enabled speakers, the low-frequency
components are usually all redirected to the subwoofer. Since
this will include frequencies featuring directivity, the resulting
sound lacks a seamless feel. MCACC Pro redirects the low

frequency component with directionality to the oor speaker

below the Dolby-enabled speaker element, and the lower
frequency components to the subwoofer. This optimal signal
distribution creates superior sound localisation, maximising
the advantage of Dolby Atmos content.

smooth flow of sound as if all delivered from the same type
of speaker. Other features include independent correction

differences in all ranges and all channels, from phase
difference in the original audio material to the sound emitted
from the speakers.
