PIONEER amplifiers and tuners catalog, September 1990, built around the Clean & Real concept - minimal signal path, no unnecessary circuitry. The flagship A-838 takes up a full spread, followed by A-636 and A-535 (¥39,800) with Source Direct and Non-Switching Circuit Type II. Notable are the DAC-equipped models: A-90D and A-50DV with built-in D/A converters and digital inputs - Pioneer was clearly orienting around CD as the primary source. Tuners F-757 with DDD filter and F-535 with Silent Tuner and CCTS. The AV line SP-91D (¥125,000) and SP-700D (¥83,800) with speaker selectors. All prices exclude consumption tax.
- Clean & Real - minimal signal path, no vibrations, no resonances
- Source Direct - signal path with no functional switches
- Non-Switching Circuit Type II - eliminates crossover distortion, second generation
- 内蔵DAC - built-in DAC with digital input (A-90D, A-50DV)
- DDDフィルター - digital IF processing and multiplex noise reduction (F-757)
- CCTS - Custom Ceramic Trap System for interference suppression (F-535)
- Silent Tuner - low-noise tuner concept (F-535)
