Not only has the latest technology that we have explained above been used in the design of the EX Series, but 
the latest results of Pioneer’s unique research into audio sound reproduction are also being actively used. This 
is the revolutionary “phase control” technology.
“Phase control” technology is the concept of managing the time and phase response of the speakers, amplifi ers 

and software to realize the dramatic high-quality sound during multi-channel sound reproduction.  The most advanced 
concepts of  phase control  have been introduced to the EX Series.  All the systems use the same CST and woofer drivers, 
which along with the crossover allows for perfect matching of the phase characteristics of all the speakers. Additionally S-
W1EX subwoofer has a low pass fi lter (LPF) bypass function installed. In combination with the appropriate receiver, the phase 
response of the complete multi-channel system can be optimized for uncompromising surround sound reproduction.

This “phase control” trademark is attached to products designed for phase characteristic matching recording to reproduction, based on the phase control 
technology concept developed by the Pioneer Corporation.

The EX Series has undergone rigorous acoustic testing 
at AIR Studios in London, one of the world’s leading 
recording studios, and therefore meets its strict studio 
replay standards. Some of the most talented AIR Studios 
sound engineers contributed an unquestionable amount of 
know-how to fi ne-tune the EX Series. So they can replicate 
a professional studio sound environment in your home, 
with ideally controlled acoustics. 
Sir George Martin, the legendary Beatles producer and 
an Academy Award-nominated composer, founded AIR 
Studios in 1969. AIR Studios is now a state-of-the-art 
recording complex with matchless facilities for fi lm scoring, 
rock, pop, classical and orchestral work, video game sound 
design, post-production and live events.
