Advanced Direct Energy MOS FET Power Amp

Advanced Direct Energy MOS FETs are simply high- performance devices. Working with Pioneer's Wide-Range Linear Circuit technology, they feature reduced power consumption without sacrificing power output. Moreover, Pioneer's MOS FETs help achieve a flat damping factor across a wide audio spectrum, a wide frequency range, and a higher accuracy at ultra high frequencies while improving power linearity.

Wide-Range Linear Circuit Amp

The Wide-Range Linear Circuit features a superior open-loop gain response. This means that, with the use of only a nominal amount of feedback and a simple one-pole filter, the circuit applies NFB (Negative Feedback) at high stability for frequencies over a wide range, in order to minimize distortion. Moreover, since its output impedance is flat and low over an extended range, the circuit's rejection of external noise is improved.

Transformer Stabilizer

The heavy, high-capacitance power transformer is doubly secured to the chassis — by a stabilizer and an additional frame. This elaborate construction improves the dynamic stability, rigidity and insulation characteristics of the chassis, leading to improved sound quality.

SB (Surround Back) Mode (M-10X/A-35R) and MR/MS Capability (A-35R)

Pioneer Elite receivers feature 7.1-channel THX Surround EX and Dolby Digital Surround EX. But even if your Pioneer Surround EX receiver comes with amplifiers for 5.1 channels, it's simple to upgrade it to the full glory of 7.1-channel sound. Just connect the M-10X to your receiver to drive the SBL and SBR (Surround Back Left and Right) channels. You can remotely turn on and off the M-10X as you do so with the receiver by using SR connections.

The A-35R is functionally flexible. It can be used in a Surround EX system to drive SBL and SBR channels, as part of a Multi-Room/Multi-Source Remote Control system, or as the center unit of a secondary hi-fi system that includes a source player such as a CD player.
