Qui le overview
del modello Usa sc-57 (sc-lx85 Europeo )

SC-57

9.1-Channel Elite A/V Receiver

Class D3 Amplification
Air Studios Monitor Certification
Made for iPod®, iPhone®, iPad® Certified, Featuring AirPlay®
3-Zone Multi-Room A/V

SC-57
A new flagship. A new class of receiver

Introducing the new flagship receiver of the Elite line: the SC-57. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to call the new Elite SC-57 one of the most revolutionary receivers ever produced. Or that the industry has ever seen.

Until now digital amplification – categorized as Class-D devices - have received little or no respect from a cautious and hesitant industry. Unable to conquer the challenges of “digital”, A/V receiver manufacturers have sought refuge in the comfort zone of analog Class-A/B amplifiers. One problem with that is analog amplifiers have had essentially the same design for the last fifty years, leaving little room for further performance enhancements. Another is the multi-channel soundtracks now available on Blu-ray Disc simply cannot be maximized or enjoyed to their full potential through conventional analog A/B amplification.

Pioneer understood early the massive power output potential of Class-D amplification, and made the bold decision to produce multi-channel amplifiers that more than rise to the occasion of bringing the new audio dimension that Blu-ray Disc provides to the home theater enthusiast.

The Elite SC-57 is the third generation of Class-D amplifiers for Pioneer, and as such we’ve designated it in a class all its own: Class D3.
An amplifier for the power hungry

The SC-57’s Class D3 9-channel amplifier is the most powerful amplifier of any multi-channel A/V receiver Pioneer has ever produced. Keeping the new audio formats of the Blu-ray Disc format in mind, Class D3 takes high-resolution multi-channel audio to a whole new level of immersive performance

Rated at 140 watts x 9 channels is a lot of power but is not the whole story. Where the SC-57 really shows its unprecedented power output capability is when driving multi-channels simultaneously without losing significant per-channel output. Class A/B amplifiers simply cannot match the efficiency of Class D3 as their power output per channel diminishes rapidly when more channels are added to the work-load. This kind of unprecedented power capability allows you to appreciate the full dynamics from any media source in a way never before possible. The ability to drive more channels, simultaneously, means you can fully reproduce all of the dynamics and impact of high definition multi-channel Dolby and DTS soundtracks with up to 9 channels of the highest quality power output available today


True-to-Life, High-Definition Audio with THX® Ultra 2 Plus

Pioneer adds an extra dimension to the SC-57 by being the only multi-channel Class-D amplifier manufacturer to be awarded the coveted THX Ultra 2 Plus certification for the ultimate immersive surround sound experience for rooms up to 3000 square feet.

This is particularly meaningful to home theater enthusiasts. Filmmakers mix their audio tracks at a “Reference Level” of 85dB. This level is the basis for THX certification engineering and performance. The SC-57 can produce this level with all channels driven, meeting and exceeding THX performance requirements while maintaining our signature sound.

Of course, the SC-57 also supports high-definition audio formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio, as well as new DTS NEO:X surround, providing a 3-D surround experience for up to 11.1 channels*.


SEGUE

SEGUE
Mastered by the masters at AIR Studios

The SC-57 has been sound “mastered” at legendary AIR Studios in London. While known for exceptional acoustics, leading-edge equipment, full orchestra motion picture soundtracks (like “Inception”), and creating recording history with Dire Straits “Brothers In Arms” -the first completely digital recording for CD and first million seller – our engineers know them from many years of professional collaboration.

The SC-57 was evaluated and modified at a prototype level to meet the very strict standards set forth by studio engineers, and in doing so was awarded AIR Studios Monitor Certification. The trained ears at AIR Studios know first-hand what goes into an artist’s craft and their objective is perfectly in-line with that of Pioneer: to accurately reproduce in the home theater what the artist originally created in the studio.



Sound Quality

Previous Class-D amplifiers suffered from electrical leakage between components that would cause “ringing” and other distortions requiring sophisticated noise filtering. Class D3 has improved on earlier designs by utilizing fewer parts, a more direct signal path, and the most advanced 3600 thermal dissipation circuit board, all together improving distortion specifications as well as more precise amplification switching characteristics.
Comprehensive and versatile installation options

The SC-57 with 9-channel Class D3 amplification gives custom installers an entirely new level of set-up options with the most useful and flexible speaker system configurations available in an A/V receiver. With 7 different speaker configurations ranging from 9.2 in the main room only, to 5.2 in the main room with powered Zones 2 and Zone 3, there is simply no reason you can’t customize your system to your exact specification.

The SC-57's advanced HDMI switching, network content and control capabilities, the latest A/V processors, and highly flexible custom installation features make it an excellent choice as a preamp processor with any amplifiers you desire. It even shuts down its internal amplifiers power supply and all related amplifier circuitry when the speakers are set to the off position making this choice even more practical.



AirPlay

AirPlay is a revolutionary way of enjoying your music anywhere in your home, and the SC-57 is AirPlay compatible right out of the box. Wirelessly push music from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or your iTunes®-running Mac or PC directly to the receiver so you can enjoy all your favorite music in your living room through the big speakers. Use your iPhone or iPad device’s familiar controls to change the volume and switch songs, all while viewing iTunes album art on your TV. And with the SC-57’s multi-zone capability, you can even enjoy your iTunes music in a second and or third room while you’re watching the latest Blu-ray Disc title in another.






DLNA Certified® 1.5

Since music is meant to be shared, not stored, the SC-57, is DLNA 1.5 Certified, which means you can pull your MP3, WMA, AAC, and even high-resolution FLAC and WAV files directly from your Windows-based PC to the receiver via your home network. Use the SC-57’s convenient on-screen display to browse through your music library, complete with album art, while your living room is filled with pure, high-resolution audio. Network connection can be made through the Ethernet port or with the AS-WL300 wireless LAN adapter (sold separately).
Online Music Services & More

You can also easily access popular internet-based music services Pandora®, Rhapsody®, and SiriusXM® Radio, as well as the thousands of high quality internet radio stations available through vTuner™.
Pioneer Air Jam App

[frantic77]

a me sta arrivando il modello di fascia media,cioé il VSX-lx55.sará la prima volta che acquisto un PIONEER

[Starlight]

facci sapere come suona e quali casse ci hai collegato

[frantic77]

eccomi ragazzi,
dopo qualche ora di utilizzo devo dire che sono stra-soddisfatto.é un ampli meraviglioso,anche in modalitá stereo,non oso immaginare come sarebbe tutto con LX-85.
io ci ho collegato una coppia di B&W DM602 S2 come frontali e suonano da meraviglia

L'unica cosa negativa é che non riesco intervenire su EQ ascoltando musica,(solo BASSI e ALTI sono disponibili)

[Bonny84]

ma lx55 non è in classe AB come amplificazione rispetto ai top di gamma che sono in classe D?
Dando un'occhiata in giro come prezzi non è che il modello precedente sia poi così sceso, anzi è più conveniente il nuovo
