With this much access, you'll never run out of music.

We know audio

The Pioneer LX VSA-LX805 was custom engineered by and for the most sophisticated consumers on the planet.

Auto Phase Control Plus & Advanced Sound Retriever tech

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.

Clearer, stronger audio & reduced digital noise

Balanced XLR inputs and outputs deliver clearer, stronger audio reproduction while low impedance polymer capacitors reduce high frequency digital noise for an exacting performance.
