New High-Precision Sound Master Clock Circuitry The DEX-P99RS features a custom-made electric volume driven by a dual-sided power supply (rarely found in regular headunits), which provides overwhelming dynamic range and high S/N (Signal-to-Noise) ratio. When you are talking high-end audio, one is never enough. The result is identical to the same output from an audio CD - but you can store your entire music library on the iPod, instead of just a single album! The key is using Apple Lossless (ALAC) to "rip" all of your music. What does this mean? For the first time, you can use an iPod as source material, without sacrificing sound quality. The DEX-P99RS features a high-end first: a direct digital bit pipe from the iPod/iPhone to the DSP and DAC. Pioneer has sourced custom-made audiophile grade capacitors and other components to ensure the highest quality. When you name something "Reference Standard", then off-the-shelf components just will not do. Circuit trace path lengths are equalized and kept as short as possible, and components are carefully laid out and shielded to prevent RF noise or interference. The entire circuit board is painstakingly designed for utmost sound quality. This new DSP is five times faster than the equivalent DSP used in the DEH-P800PRS or DEH-P880PRS models.Ĭopper-plated chassis eliminates magnetic induction noise. The unique use of 32-bit "floating point" DSP offers significantly higher accuracy, especially a high frequencies and low signal levels. The DEX-P99RS incorporates 32-Bit Binary Floating-Point DSP for high-precision and highspeed sound processing. These entire processes occur in 543 seamless steps in just about 5 minutes. Time alignment automatically estimates the delay from each speaker to driver’s position and adjusts speaker sound output timing accordingly by 1/4 inch differences, so that sound from all speakers reaches the driver’s ears in perfect sync.Īuto EQ tailors specific musical characteristics according to taste, uses a microphone to monitor and analyze acoustics, then automatically fi ne-tunes all frequency bandwidths and front and rear speaker digital parametric equalization. Adjusts with 1/3 octave step from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and there are 5 custom memories to allow multiple setups. Unparalleled flexibility is provided through either Left/Right independent setup, or for easier setup L/R common is available. Precisely control the in-cabin acoustics with the built-in 31-band Digital Equalizer. L/R Independent 31-Band Digital Equalizer The DEX-P99RS is the grandchild of that system, featuring complex technologies and utmost sound purity that shatter your expectations. Pioneer has a long heritage of award-winning sound quality headunits, starting almost 2 decades ago with the ODR (Optical Digital Reference) system. In addition, it must provide powerful digital tools to allow the installer to setup and tune the system.

The key to a reference-quality headunit should be simple: it has to reproduce the original source material authentically and naturally.

See what these Stage 4 retailers have to say about the DEX-P99RS and its remarkable tuning capabilities. In 2010, the DEX-P99RS was selected as the in-dash receiver of choice for the competition. Every year, Pioneer gathers its top installers to compete in its revered Sound Build-off.
