Reflex Optimizer
When using Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers, high directivity sound from the unit reflects off the ceiling, while low directivity sound directly reaches the ears. These different pathways can sometimes cause a phase shift, making the sound feel unbalanced for your customers. But with the LX303’s Reflex Optimizer and Phase Control technology, your customers will be able to adjust this shift and improve sound image localization by aligning the frequencies with those of the floor speakers, creating the ideal environment for audio reproduction.
Phono Input
Vinyl sales have skyrocketed in recent years and your customers are seeking new, innovative ways to relive their favorite musical moments. Pioneer includes an MM Phono input on all Elite receivers, so they can enjoy their classic collections in audiophile quality.
