PIONEER LX VSA-LX805 PREMIUM 11.4 studio-grade audiophile without licence software

• 220 WATTS x 11 CHANNELS: The VSX-LX805 is engineered to support 11 channels amplified in a 7.2.4 configuration at 220 music/150 RMS  Watts per channel (8 ohms). Simply put, that’s a lot of power.
• THREE DISTINCT ZONES: With this much power, you can enjoy home audio or theater in three distinct zones simultaneously without worrying about zone switching. So sit back and relax with some jazz while the kids watch a movie in the theater room and the grandkids are gaming in the family room.
• ALL THE CONNECTIVITY: Transport yourself into the concert hall with precise audio reproduction through hardline cable (HDMI, RCA, Phono, and more) or one of the many streaming and smart home assistant platforms that come standard with this model.
• DIRAC LIVE: Odd room shape? No problem. An included Dirac Live premium license comes standard to help account for sound bouncing around any room, and an optional Bass Control upgrade is available for those who can’t get enough precision bass.
• BETTER TOGETHER: Just like your choice in content, you’ll never settle for less than exceptional with this AVR. Dolby Atmos capability allows you to hear overarching, lifelike sound. And IMAX means you’ll see crisp and clear picture, just as the filmmakers intended.
• ULTRA HD: Live up to the potential of your high definition TV. Elevate your shows, games and films to the highest level with exceptional 8K/4K Ultra HD audio-video performance.
• PHASE CONTROL AND LOSSLESS SOUND: Auto Phase Control Plus compensates for lag in low-frequency signals while two-channel Advanced Sound Retriever technology restores the output of compressed audio for lossless sound.
• CLEAR, STRONGER AUDIO: Balanced XLR inputs and outputs deliver clearer, stronger audio reproduction while low impedance polymer capacitors reduce high frequency digital noise for an exacting performance. You’ll feel as though you’re sitting amidst the symphony.
