Pioneer VSX-2021-K

Pioneer’s expertise in acoustic processing is of course present through our renowned MCACC Advanced calibration system (9-channel equalization) as well as our Full Band Phase Control technology, which corrects phase misalignments between all speakers and across all frequencies. The result: incredibly precise reproduction of soundtracks.

In addition, PQLS technology drastically reduces jitter (distortion) when the VSX-2021-K is connected to a Pioneer Blu-ray player. The video section is not left out either.
