Hear the Difference With New Pioneer Elite Receivers (2/9/2004)

Close your eyes, listen to the music and feel the impact of the newly introduced Pioneer Elite audio/video receivers. With more than sixty-five years experience manufacturing audio products, Pioneer is proud to announce its newest family of Elite audio/video receivers, which truly define the notion of quality audio performance. The VSX-56TXi, VSX-54TX and VSX-52TX offer the best in audio reproduction currently available in their price categories with key features including automatic room calibration and enhanced amplification technology.

The task of any receiver is to enable optimal use of speakers in any given room environment regardless of the source. If done well, listeners have the sensation of musicians actually performing live in the room, or the experience of being in a theater while watching an action packed movie on DVD. Pioneer continues to refine its revolutionary multi-channel acoustic calibration circuitry and enhanced amplification technology to enhance the listening experience. With the introduction of these three new receivers, the company begins a new chapter in audio/video fidelity.

Powerful Performance

The three new receivers rival what separate esoteric amplifiers would be able to produce as a result of their added capacitor size and superior build quality. Each receiver utilizes a 15-pound power supply and the largest capacitors in the industry. They have an enhanced ability to drive multiple channels, and offer improved bass reproduction, a better sound stage, a lower noise floor, and improved audio clarity. Each receiver has a specific audio signature and can reproduce an array of high to low-end frequency signals with ease.

VSX-56TXi -- 2 x 27,000uf capacitor pair
VSX-54TX -- 2 x 22,000uf capacitor pair
VSX-52TX -- 2 x 15,000uf capacitor pair

Pioneer Elite receivers offer equal amplifier power to all channels, eliminating the possibility of one channel dominating a particular sound field. All amplifiers are of discrete MOSFET configuration for low distortion and are capable of handling any current surround format. These receivers offer THX-Select(TM), Dolby Digital EX(TM), DTS-ES(TM), Dolby Pro Logic IIx(TM) and DTS NEO-6(TM) surround processing.

"Pioneer's goal with new Elite receivers is to enhance the listening experience. With these receivers, the listener will be able to hear the finite details of a recording in a way that brings the artist right into the living room," said David Bales, marketing manager of audio products for the home entertainment division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.
