<strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> <strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>Channel</strong> Stereophonic <strong>Amplifier</strong>
For the modern age of improving standards in recording and replay technology, <strong>Pioneer</strong> has developed a new<br />
reference standard amplifier for high fidelity sound reproduction in the home: <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong>. Designed for<br />
connoisseurs who desire the very best in stereo and multi-channel music replay together with reference-class<br />
decoding of both today’s and tomorrow’s movie soundtrack formats, the <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> has been designed from the<br />
ground up to be a true ‘reference standard’ for all audio and audio/video system applications. <strong>Pioneer</strong>’s most<br />
experienced audio amplifier designers teamed up with engineering experts in sound recording at London’s famous<br />
AIR Studios to design an amplifier that was worthy of the task of studio reference monitoring. With sufficient power<br />
delivery and transparency to preserve the enormous dynamic range and pure clarity of today’s higher-resolution<br />
digital recordings on DVD-Audio and SACD, the <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> includes 7.1 channel line inputs and outputs for all<br />
requirements. Under the bonnet are 7 channels of power amplification (170 watts per channel) for THX Surround EX<br />
and DTS Extended Surround AV systems. And for high-end 5.1 channel systems the <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong>’s seven power<br />
amplifiers can be configured for bi-amping a system’s main front left and right channels. State-of-the-art digital<br />
signal processors have been employed for decoding of future 96/24 DTS encoded movie soundtracks and the<br />
<strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> is the first amplifier in the world to receive THX Ultra2 certification. At <strong>Pioneer</strong> we describe it as a ‘multichannel<br />
stereophonic’ amplifier. At AIR Studios they call it their ‘monitor reference’. In your home you’ll hear your<br />
favourite stereo and multi-channel recordings as the professionals heard it at the mixing desk. The <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong><br />
amplifier will be your monitor reference standard.<br />

engineers in the UK, the <strong>Pioneer</strong> team<br />
employed revolutionary processes in order to take<br />
your home sound system to the level of a<br />
professional sound studio. Professional sound<br />
engineers always start with three principles to<br />
achieve high fidelity recording and replay: quality<br />
reproduction, precision reproduction and artistic<br />
reproduction. <strong>Pioneer</strong> adapted this professional<br />
procedure to the design process so that the<br />
<strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> would recreate unprecedented audio<br />
fidelity in your home. This includes the best available<br />
audio components, measuring and calibrating the<br />
system with a microphone, and final sound tuning to<br />
preserve the original emotional elation of the music.<br />
With the <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong>’s professional master reference<br />
sound quality, a concert at home has never been so<br />
spectacular.<br />

Precision Studio Sound Technology<br />
Packaged For Your Home<br />
Designing an amplifier that reproduces professional studio quality sound in your home requires precision high-end technology.<br />
Working with studio engineers and sound format experts around the world, <strong>Pioneer</strong>’s amplifier design engineers endeavoured<br />
to make sure that this multi-channel audio/visual amplifier perfectly recreates professional-level home studio sound with optimum<br />
acoustic accurancy. With the built-in <strong>Multi</strong>-channel Acoustic Calibration system, it is straightforward to adjust the sound<br />
to the correct parameters suited to your listening environment. You’ll be set with the latest sound format technology including<br />
THX Ultra2, Dolby Pro logic II, DTS 96/24 as well as THX Surround EX, Dolby Digital, DTS-ES and DTS. On top of that, all the best<br />
possible technologies, design and parts have been incorporated into this superb amplifier for the ultimate in fine-tuned, professional<br />
quality sound. With all of these elements in place, this work of art truly is the future of sound.<br />
Achieving Sound Perfection<br />
This system recreates a perfectly realistic listening environment in virtually any space, regardless of size, shape or obstacles, MCACC works by using the<br />
included microphone to measure room acoustics and neutralise any characteristics that tarnish the original source material. To start, the microphone<br />
checks and tests ambient noise and speaker levels. When the initial calibration is complete, the system automatically confirms speaker presence and<br />
size, and creates a sound stage by equalising the distances between speakers relative to the listener, neutralising differences in sound pressure level,<br />
and compensating for timbre variations. Following this surround analysis, the MCACC checks the channel delay and channel level, processes the<br />
information and performs the acoustic calibration. During the acoustic calibration process, the speakers emit a series of timing pulses that are read by<br />
the microphone and sent to a 9-band digital equaliser for final calibration of up to seven channels. The system includes a special sound tuning<br />
application created by AIR Studios’ chief engineer to reproduce the original studio sound character. The final result? Delicate nuances of your space are<br />
fully compensated for – affording you – more sound realism than ever before from your stereo and multi-channel recordings.<br />

Easy and Precise Set-up with <strong>Multi</strong>-channel Acoustic Calibration System<br />
MCACC, or <strong>Multi</strong>-channel Acoustic Calibration System, is an automatic sound field adjustment system created by <strong>Pioneer</strong> with<br />
AIR Studios’ collaboration. The MCACC works like a miniature sound stage right in your home. The beauty of this automatic<br />
adjustment system is that you are able to adjust your home system just like the professionals. Using a microphone, the MCACC<br />
systems monitors your sound environment and measures various parameters in the room, and then automatically adjust various<br />
sound parameters in each channel so your sound acoustics have the perfect tonal nuances customised for your reproduction<br />
environment. This means that the highest class, professional-level surround sound – calibrated like never before – can easily be<br />
achieved in your home system.<br />
The speakers’ distance and tone are not uniform<br />
before the adjustment . The microphone then<br />
determines size and number of speakers,<br />
distance from the listener to the speakers, and<br />
timbre and tone of speakers. After the<br />
adjustment the system is automatically<br />
equalised.<br />

THX Ultra2 Processing And Certification<br />
What THX Ultra2 means for you is that you’ll enjoy exciting eight channel<br />
playback performances from any multi-channel programme over the widest<br />
possible seating area. As the first A/V amplifier in the world to receive THX Ultra2 certification,<br />
the <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> is clearly setting the pace for the next generation. Whereas original THX Ultra<br />
was intended for Dolby Pro Logic sources, THX Ultra2 is entirely adapted to recent highquality<br />
digital formats such as DTS and Dolby Digital. A true breakthrough in home<br />
entertainment technology, THX Ultra2 ensures optimal multi-channel music and film pleasure.<br />
In addition to THX Cinema and THX Surround EX, THX Ultra2 technology includes two new<br />
modes featuring THX ASA (Advanced Speaker Array). THX Ultra2 Cinema allows non-Surround<br />
EX-encoded, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 material to be played on a seven speaker<br />
configuration. For music playback, THX MusicMode can handle all types of music formats,<br />
whether it is 5.1 encoded music or high-resolution DVD-Audio and SACD multi-channel music<br />
recordings.<br />

DTS-ES Decoding<br />
With all the movement on the format front, DTS Extended Surround, better known as DTS-ES, has developed a<br />
new home format in addition to DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 – DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 – for true 3-dimensional surround<br />
sound. This new format takes advantage of the larger DTS bandwidth to create a subtle centre back channel that restores the<br />
original cinematic left surround and right surround channels independently. Moreover, each channel is encoded and decoded<br />
individually, enhancing channel separation. The <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> features a DTS-ES decoder that will allow you to play back discrete<br />
6.1 channel content from DVDs and CDs. You will also welcome full compatibility with any DTS-ES or 5.1 channel recording.<br />
DTS 96/24 Decoding<br />
Equipped with a 96 kHz/24-bit decoder, the <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> reproduces highquality<br />
sound, exactly as recorded on 96 kHz, 24-bit master tapes in the<br />
studio. The latest audio format by DTS – the multi-platform DTS 96/24 – is the first<br />
compressed surround format technology to support 96 kHz and 24-bit sound resolution and<br />
multi-channel capabilities without video quality degradation. With its super low audio<br />
compression rate, all your discs with DTS encoded audio soundtracks will sound rich and<br />
sophisticated. Backwards compatibile with existing DTS decoders, you’ll also be able to enjoy<br />
traditional DTS discs.<br />

Surround EX<br />
Surround EX was created by both Dolby International and THX Lucas Film for “Star Wars Episode 1”. The New idea<br />
is to create a new channel for the back side of screen with the same matrix technology of Dolby Prologic. The<br />
technology was first introduced to the cinemas and soon after introduced to home application. Surround EX is compatible with<br />
existing Dolby Digital 5.1 so that regular Dolby Digital Decoder can decode signals of Surround EX as normal 5.1 signal.<br />

Unquestionable Quality With Impeccable Design<br />
Designed for audiophiles demanding the very best in sound reproduction, <strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> features the best hardware on the market, like Sharc DSP<br />
processors. Clearly, sound design has reached new arenas of excellence with exclusive <strong>Pioneer</strong> sound technology designed with the help of the world’s<br />
best sound engineers.<br />
High-end 192 kHz/24-bit D/A Converters For Solid Sound<br />
Picture 1<br />
Exclusive for <strong>Pioneer</strong>, top-of-the-line Burr Brown 192 kHz/24-bit D/A converters drive each of the eight channels independently. These are the best multibit<br />
type D/A converters for high-resolution, strong and stable sound, with a perfect signal from input to output.<br />
Solid High Performance Audio<br />
Picture 2<br />
One of the secrets to this amplifier is <strong>Pioneer</strong>’s exclusive new Advanced Direct Energy MOSFET. This highly advanced piece of circuitry produces an<br />
amazingly efficient, high-end sound quality with an impressive 170 watts of equally amplified power for each channel and improved linearity to ensure<br />
consistent sound quality for multi-channel applications. To achieve this, the internal sound stage must remain as smooth and stable as possible. That<br />
is why the MOSFET is designed with heat compensation circuitry in the power chip with A/D isolated amp module to minimise power imbalances that<br />
can cause distortion in the sound stage.<br />
Efficient Heat Radiation For Low Resonance<br />
Picture 3<br />
Since this amplifier incorporates 7 channel, high power units, it generates a huge amount of energy. This newly developed chimney-shaped heatsink<br />
helps release the excess heat from the power elements, enabling lower resonance.<br />
Precise Sound Imaging<br />
Picture 4<br />
To balance both electrical and physical elements between the 7 channels for the most precise sound stage composition, <strong>Pioneer</strong> designed each power<br />
amplifier on each side of the heatsink in order. This “symmetrical power train” creates a uniform sound field for all channels.<br />
Stable Power Output<br />
Picture 5<br />
To reproduce the latest wide range audio formats and rapidly changing sound levels, your amplifier needs a solid and stable power supply source.<br />
Therefore, <strong>Pioneer</strong> designed a state-of-the-art transformer, weighing in at more 10kg. This transformer is uniquely designed to suppress internal energy<br />
loss and prevent magnetic leakage as well as eliminate vibration during sound reproduction.<br />
Highly Responsive And Clean Power<br />
Picture 6<br />
<strong>VSA</strong>-<strong>AX10</strong> uses 33000µFx2 large capacity condensers, exclusively for audio, for extra stability and instant response to large power swings. The low loss<br />
thick copper bus-bar ensures clean and smooth power transmission at all times.<br />
The Ultimate S/N Ratio For DVD-Audio<br />
For this amplifier, <strong>Pioneer</strong> aimed for a 110 dB S/N ratio to faithfully reproduce the latest wide range audio formats. This was achieved via a new volume<br />
control circuitry design – Precision Gain Management Volume. This feature checks the gain in each amplification stage and selects the best combination<br />
of gain in each stage.<br />

Professional-quality 32-Bit Digital Signal Processing<br />
Using 32-bit Sharc and 24-bit double speed Motorola simultaneously, this model can realise full processing which contributes to reproduce the highest<br />
quality of sound.<br />
Ideal DVD Audio Converter<br />
<strong>Pioneer</strong> has mounted highly accurate 96 kHz/24-bit A/D converters on all eight channels individually to precisely reproduce DVD-Audio and SACD sound<br />
sources. For two channel analogue sources, four A/D converters are used for each channel to create high fidelity sound.<br />
New Frame Design Concept For Superior Support<br />
The revolutionary, new chassis design fixes all parts to a 3-D frame instead of the weaker<br />
2<br />
2-D frame. So the unit has the strength to support the 10 kg transformer, as well as allow<br />
4 5<br />
optimum functionality of each part. In addition, the chassis is copper-plated to suppress<br />
1<br />
signal interference between circuits and lower impedance.<br />
3<br />
Concentrated Direct Construction Design<br />
To minimise signal interference, each circuit is separated – allowing a more direct signal<br />
route. This concentrated direct construction works simultaneously with the 3-D space<br />
6<br />
frame to create an extremely pure signal transmission with an open and fresh sound.<br />
3-D space frame construction<br />
Easy Connection And Simple Conversion<br />
With this easy connection video converter feature, hooking up video components is<br />
foolproof. There is no need to connect every terminal to the amplifier because it converts the input video signal to<br />
all available video output terminals. With a selection of connection options you can easily set up the configuration<br />
you want.<br />
More Realistic Movie And Music Experience<br />
<strong>Pioneer</strong>’s exclusive DSP technology lets you experience movies and music like never before with two customised DSP<br />
modes: Advanced Cinema and Advanced Concert. Advanced Cinema enhances movie soundtracks and other<br />
