Unlike regular receivers’ 2-D chassis design,
our revolutionary 3-D space frame construc­tion provides superb physical strength.
Also, each receiver is divided with insulating
shields into three blocks: the digital proces­sor, the power- & pre-amplier, and the
power supply sections. This construction
design serves two purposes: it prevents the
digital circuits from aecting the analog cir­cuits, and it increases the rigidity of the cab­inet structure. As a result, sound reproduc­tion from any source is more accurate and
imaging is improved.

Accurate multi-channel sound reproduction
is possible only when the operating environ­ment is physically, magnetically, and elec­tronically identical for all channels. For that
reason, Elite receivers’
power output devices for
each channel are sym­metrically mounted on a
pair of rigid heat sinks,
with the device for the
center channel mounted
directly in between.

For optimal performance, all Elite receivers
are equipped with Pioneer’s exclusive
Advanced Direct Energy (A.D.E.) MOSFET
power device, ideal for high-end audio. The
combination of this device and an AC/DC iso­lated amplier module yields exceptional
stability and ultra-linear amplication, com­bined with very low signal loss. It’s also a very
energy-ecient design, minimizing power
imbalances that can cause unnecessary dis­tortion in the sound stage.

Action movies. Video games.
Live sports. Rock concerts.

They all have critical
moments where things suddenly explode
into over-the- top sonic mayhem. When
that happens, your receiver needs to have
some power in reserve, or the impact is
lost. For this reason, all Elite receivers uti­lize large, audiophile-qual­ity electrolytic capacitor
pairs and a heavy-duty
power transformer, ensur­ing maximum perform­ance during peak demand.
