making it possible to achieve measurements even closer to the direct sound. The
calibration timing is variable in 0 – 160 ms, whereas timing is fixed for the calibration
technology used so far. The timing is automatically set by Pioneer's original
algorithm or manually, if preferred.
You can see the reverberation characteristics either on-
screen (OSD) in a simple 2-D image or even a 3-D colour
graphic image on PC displays, by connecting a RS-232C

from the Pioneer website. This is a
useful tool to visualise proper settings
for your specific environment.

Precise Speaker Setting Alignment
The VSA-AX10Ai-S includes an additional tool, a
Reference Calibration Disc (included with the
amplifier), to calibrate the physical speaker
positions even more precisely. This special
DVD-Video disc contains two types of signals in
DTS format: one for fine speaker distance
adjustment and one for fine speaker angle
adjustment.
For
fine
adjustment, the speakers' distance can be set
with an accuracy of less than 1 cm by listening to
the unique test tone, and then, taking the Front
Reference Calibration Disc
Left speaker as the reference speaker, moving the
others speakers in turn so that the test tone
emanates from exactly in between them. For fine speaker angle adjustment, a voice moves around the listening position in 30° steps — like the arms of
a clock —, so the speaker angle can be adjusted to the ideal direction envisioned by the sound designer (ITU-R speaker setting standard used for multi-
channel music monitoring). These two adjustments work perfectly with MCACC for the best possible sound stage in a room.

'X-curve' adjustment*: automatic correction for room size
Advanced MCACC includes an additional automatic adjustment to ensure that the sound
reproduction is even more perfectly matched to your room — the correction for room size.
What the human ear/brain perceives as a flat frequency response is a subjective
phenomenon dependent on distance between the listener and the sound source; our
perception changes according to the size of the room. High frequencies decrease more for
larger rooms due to the psycho-acoustic effect, according to scientific research. The
VSA-AX10Ai-S automatically compensates for this difference by applying the famous
'X-Curve', according to
room size. 'X-Curve' is
