A thick catalog covering the full PIONEER AV component lineup for November 2004. The central pitch is MCACC and Air Studios: automatic room calibration paired with reference tuning at George Martin’s London studio - the catalog opens with exactly that idea. Flagship VSA-AX10Ai-N at ¥525,000 packs Advanced MCACC, THX Ultra2, i.LINK for DVD-Audio/SACD, and the 32-bit SHARC Melody Ultra processor - gold-finish chassis, ships with a calibration microphone. The A-series speakers draw on Pioneer’s professional TAD division: 7-petal superpoint tweeter, Acrylast cones, Frame enclosure - flagship S-A77TB at ¥89,000 per cabinet. CD changers in 25-, 102-, and 301-disc flavors round out a lineup that stretches from the top-tier DVD/SACD player DV-S969AVi with i.LINK all the way down to cassette decks with ALCA auto-calibration.
