The system also uses full-band phase control to ensure “more precise room conditioning by adjusting group delay occurring in each speaker” and is said to be effective for all speakers, even those installed above the listener in object-based surround installations.īoth models have seven HDMI inputs, including one on the front panel, three HDMI outputs, and support 4K/60-Hz passthrough with HDCP 2.3, wide color gamut, 4K upscaling for 1080p sources, and three high dynamic range (HDR) formats - Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma). Shared features include Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced surround processing, 32-bit/384-kHz digital-to-analog conversion on all channels, and Pioneer’s automated MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System) PRO, which equalizes frequency response and compensates for differences in speaker size, level, and distance from the seating location. Both models are slated to ship in October.

The updated power section will also appear in a second addition to the Elite series - the 9.2-channel SC-LX704 ($1,599), rated to deliver 9 x 135 watts into 8 ohms. The design follows what Pioneer calls a “multichannel stereophonic philosophy” and is applied throughout the audio path to achieve more lifelike reproduction.

Rated to deliver 11 x 140 watts into 8 ohms, the LX904 is built around the sixth generation of the brand’s Direct Energy HD Amplifier, designed to support “simultaneous multichannel amplification” and updated with new power coils and custom capacitors to lower noise and improve sound quality. The latest addition to Pioneer’s prestigious Elite series, the 11.2-channel SC-LX904 ($2,999) will be officially unveiled at the upcoming 2019 CEDIA Expo, which opens in Denver September 10. Pioneer today offered a preview of a new flagship AV receiver designed to deliver “best-in-class home theater functionality.”
