Pioneer Electronics has unveiled four A/V Receivers that offer iPhone/iPod connectivity and “quick response” from uncompressed Dolby True-HD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks used in Blu-ray disc entertainment.
The new Pioneer Elite SC-25 and SC-27 A/V receivers incorporate a Direct Energy HD Class D amplifier featuring ICEPower technology to ensure unprecedented reproduction of high resolution multi-channel, stereo as well as compressed audio and provide premium home entertainment that rivals the movie theater experience, according to David Bales, manager of audio marketing and product planning for Pioneer Electronics. The Elite SC-27 leverages the full advantages of this emerging amplification technology to become the industry’s first Class D amp design to achieve THX Ultra2 Plus as well as AIR Studio monitor certification, he adds.
Pioneer rounds out its new line with the Elite VSX-21TXH and VSX-23TXH models designed to serve as the quintessential HD control center for the newest home theater systems. As with the company’s new lineup of Pioneer-branded iPhone/iPod certified AV receivers, all four models offer connectivity to the Apple devices.
The Pioneer Elite VSX-21TXH and VSX-23TXH will begin shipping in July for the suggested retail prices of US$700 and $900, respectively. Pioneer’s Elite SC-25TXH and SC-27 are shipping in August at $1,700 and $2,000, respectively.
