State-of-the-art Sound Staging: Dirac Live
With Dirac Live’s user-oriented digital room correction software, calibrate your sound system for optimal performance in any space. Say goodbye to messy sound quality caused by frequency imbalances. This premium technology, integrated into the Pioneer VSX-LX505, will optimise your audio equipment according to the unique conditions of its location. Sound waves, which bounce around your interior features, are balanced using intelligent frequency and impulse correction algorithms. Unlock the full potential of sound from your audio setup.
Roon Tested Receiver
When audio equipment is Roon tested, rest assured it has been optimised for user-friendliness and ease of use. While audio technology can get complicated, Roon testing signifies simplicity. The Pioneer VSX-LX505 has been Roon tested to ensure ease of installation and utilisation.
Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC)
MCACC is Pioneer’s exclusive precision tuner for sound adjustment. By dampening excess sound waves, MCACC creates a cleaner, clearer sound in your home. Auto Phase Control Plus analyses the phase difference in real time and adjusts the sound automatically to compensate. Expect powerful bass and crisp treble from this useful built-in tool.
Sonos Sound Systems
The Pioneer VSX-LX505 will work as part of a new or existing Sonos Home Sound System. Simply pair the receiver with a Sonos Port (not included) to get started. Sync speakers in multiple rooms or group them together in one area for a surround sound setup. Create a system of sound wirelessly over wifi, linked with your Pioneer AV Receiver.
Voice Control
Incorporate the VSX-LX505 into your existing Smart Home setup; connect to your Amazon Alexa, Apple Airplay, or Google-compatible devices for hands-free control throughout your space. Command your compatible connections and achieve up to 8K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate with a single HDMI connection.
IMAX Enhanced Home Cinema
The VSX-LX505 is an Elite receiver optimised to play IMAX digitally remastered cinematic content. With IMAX content, expect cinema-standard images, re-produced just as the artists intended, from the comfort of home. Playing IMAX Enhanced certified content with the Pioneer VSX-LX505 will deliver crisp and clear images, vibrant colours, and a spacious widescreen experience.
Bluetooth
With Bluetooth wireless connectivity, cut down on cables and link your devices remotely. SBC and AAC codecs allow you to transmit audio being streamed on a paired device while SBC, aptX, and aptX HD (24-bit audio over aptX HD) codecs keep audio quality high when transmitted to wireless headphones.
