The sonic evolution continues with the latest version of Pioneer’s multi-channel stereophonic amplifier, the
VSA-AX10Ai-S. For connoisseurs who desire the very best, this amplifier offers the ultimate high fidelity stereo and multi-
channel music replay, together with reference-class decoding of the latest movie soundtrack and audio formats.
Audiophiles will certainly recognise the original design philosophy of the VSA-AX10, a revolutionary best-in-class award
winner from 2001 created by an experienced team of Pioneer audio amplifier designers and sound engineering experts
from London’s AIR Studios. Like its predecessors, the VSA-AX10Ai-S brings the best studio reference monitoring
currently available directly to any home listening environment.

Audio aficionados will be drawn to the wealth of state-of-the-art internal
components, AIR Studios sound tuning and THX Ultra2 certification. But the
true beauty of the VSA-AX10Ai-S is Pioneer’s unique MCACC, the world's
first automatic sound field adjustment system for a multi-channel
environment. The MCACC for the VSA-AX10Ai-S has been improved to
'Advanced' MCACC with a new 3-D calibration method. Advanced MCACC

takes room reverberation effects into account, ensuring even more precise calibration for perfect tonal balance in any listening room. Plus, of course, there’s the i.LINK
interface first introduced in 2002’s VSA-AX10i-S model, delivering digital-to-digital, high resolution audio from DVD-Audio and SACD sources with stable signal transfer
thanks to Pioneer’s jitter-free PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System). Truly up-to-the-minute, 2004’s VSA-AX10Ai-S incorporates the latest surround formats such as Dolby
Pro Logic IIx, as well as world-first Windows Media Audio 9 Professional compatibility. WMA9 Pro is the latest e-audio format, which assures ultimate multi-channel audio
quality with up to 768 Kbps high transfer bit rate, as well as 96 kHz/24-bit resolution. With sufficient power delivery and transparency to preserve the enormous dynamic
range and pure clarity of today’s higher resolution digital recordings, the VSA-AX10Ai-S includes symmetrically positioned 7-channel A.D.E. MOSFET discrete power
amplifiers, exclusive to Pioneer. With this amplifier in your home, you are certain to hear your favourite stereo and multi-channel recordings just like the professionals
heard it at the mixing desk. Clearly, the Pioneer VSA-AX10Ai-S amplifier continues the home ‘monitor reference’ standard.
