Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System
The Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC) is an automatic sound field adjustment system created by Pioneer experts in co-operation with AIR Studios professional sound engineers. MCACC works just like a professional sound stage right in your living room, but on a smaller scale. The beauty of this automatic adjustment system is that you are able to fine-tune your home system just like a sound professional, but with minimum effort. Using a microphone (included) that plugs into the amplifier, the MCACC system monitors your sound environment and measures the acoustics in the room. It then automatically adjusts various sound parameters on each channel to neutralise characteristics that tarnish the original sound. Thats it professional studio-quality sound truly tailored to your living room.

MCACC on-screen display

AUTOMATIC MUTUAL DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
Automatic Surround Set-up.
It has never been easier to set up your system, and at the same time, recreate the perfect listening environment. MCACC works by using the included microphone and a series of test tones to measure room acoustics. To start, the microphone checks and tests ambient noise and speaker levels. The system automatically confirms speaker presence and type/size of speaker, and creates a sound stage by equalising the distances between speakers relative to the listener, neutralising differences in sound pressure level, and compensating for timbre variations. Following this surround analysis, the MCACC checks and adjusts the speaker distance (channel delay), channel level and timbre. These settings will be at the optimum levels for your room, for the utmost in high-quality surround sound, to create a truly threedimensional sound field. If preferred, individual settings may also be manually adjusted.

Calibration microphone

The speaker distance, trim level and tone are not uniform before adjustment. After adjustment, the system is automatically equalised.
Automatic Frequency Response Alignment.
Next, the system automatically calculates the frequency balance, essentially equalising the speakers for your room. The amplifier emits a series of timing pulses and frequency sweeps that are read by the microphone and sent to a 9-band* digital equaliser for final calibration of up to seven channels. There are two automatic settings that can be selected depending on your needs: All Channel and Front Align. In All Channel mode (flat curve), each speaker is set individually. This setting more closely represents the source material. The Front Align mode (front speaker curve) adjusts all speakers to match in timbre as closely as possible with the main front left and right speakers. With the VSA-AX10i-S, you can also manually set each speakers frequency balance and memorise it into two user memories Custom 1 and Custom 2. Now you can keep the original automatic EQ and easily compare it with your own preference.

Larger size speaker terminals
Large electrolytic capacitor
The ultimate S/N ratio for DVD-Audio.
For the VSA-AX10i-S, Pioneer aimed for a 110 dB S/N ratio to faithfully reproduce the latest wide range audio formats. This was achieved via Pioneers volume control circuitry design Precision Gain Management Volume. This feature checks the gain in each amplification stage and selects the best combination of gain in each stage. For example, at regular volume level the gain for the variable amplifier stage is kept as low as possible; when the volume increases or decreases, the variable amplifier stage adjusts the signal as required. This fine management of volume ensures the best possible signal-to-noise ratio at all monitoring levels.

(VSX-D912, VSX-D812, VSX-D712, VSX-D512, VSX-C501, VSX-C301, VSX-C100) Temperature is the key factor for ideal Total Harmonic Distortion specifications, since heat directly affects the amount of bias required by an output transistor to reproduce sound. Pioneer's thermal compensation transistor provides temperature feedback to the bias circuit, ensuring that the correct amount of bias is applied to the transistors, regardless of temperature. Moreover, to enhance heat dissipation, the output transistors thermal compensation circuits are all mounted to the same portion of the heat sink.
Pioneer original Digital Core Engine for crystal-clear sound.
(VSX-D912, VSX-D812, VSX-D712, VSX-C501, VSX-C301) The newly developed Digital Core Engine is a landmark in digital circuitry design. Using the very latest Quadra layered circuitry forming technology, all digital processing from digital input to D/A conversion is performed on a single highly concentrated circuitry board. The result: crystal-clear sound.
Pioneer Hybrid Amplification IC
Direct Construction for optimal signal route.
(VSX-D912, VSX-D812, VSX-D712, VSX-D512) Most of Pioneer's A/V receivers are designed with a highly efficient, or direct, internal construction, which minimises distortion and suppresses signal interference between circuits. This is achieved by positioning parts more efficiently along the signal route, separating digital and analogue circuits and reducing the PCB units. These measures contribute to producing the highest grade of audio and video reproduction.
