●High performance yet low cost

Simplified design that uses fewer parts, made possible by Pioneer’s 50-plus years of experience and expertise in developing industry-leading in-car devices, achieves high performance yet low cost.

●High scalability

This platform is scalable to accommodate a variety of vehicle design requirements by model and can be upgraded in functionality via over-the-air updates or software updates even after vehicles with this platform installed are sold to customers.

●Environmentally friendly compact, lightweight, and low-power designs

The advanced chip design makes it possible to design the unit smaller and lighter. Moreover, the efficient class-D amplifier makes the unit operate at lower power levels and consume less stand-by power.

●Greater flexibility made possible by in-house development
and production of components and units

In-house development and production of speaker components and units enables us to accommodate automakers’ requirements and specifications for speakers in a compressed timeframe and at lower costs.

●Compact and lightweight designs

The combination of advanced computer-aided engineering and a groundbreaking structural design achieves smaller and lighter speaker designs without compromising on performance (50% lighter than our previous-generation speakers), which makes speaker installation easier with fewer restrictions. Furthermore, vehicles fitted with these smaller and lighter speakers use less fuels or power on the road than those equipped with previous-generation units.

●Extensive hands-on know-how to install speakers in vehicles

Pioneer speakers have been installed in millions of vehicles of a variety of makes and models around the globe over the past 50-plus years, during which we have gained extensive knowledge and expertise in vehicle structures. Armed with this hands-on know-how, we assist automakers in installing our speakers in their vehicles in the best possible manner.

●A broad range of product offerings

Pioneer manufactures and offers the industry’s most extensive lineup of car speakers across the price range from affordably priced units to high-end models. This translates into greater flexibility in configuring a broad range of in-car sound systems—from entry-level systems to premium-grade systems.

●Great flexibility and portability

Our software is developed independent of the hardware platform and supports greater flexibility and customization.
It comes with sound processing having minimal hardware dependency.

●Great extendability

Our software supports not just Pioneer’s sound solutions but also those offered by others.

●Compliance with up-to-date global standards

Our software development meets global standards for functional safety, cyber security, and development process.

●Expert sound engineers with discriminating ears

Teams of our expert sound engineers take an engineered approach to ascertaining how physical characteristics of vehicles and sound systems affect the in-car sound field and reproduction. They also work with automakers to tailor in-vehicle sound to the requirements of their brands and vehicle models, and even to the taste of users in different countries and regions and of different generations and lifestyles.

●Time-saving approach to in-vehicle sound tuning

We use our proprietary cloud-based modeling tools and tuning tools to achieve greater operational efficiency and shorten the time for development.

●Tuning tools made available to automakers

We make our tuning tools available to automakers intending to conduct in-vehicle sound tuning on their own.
