Synchronous sound with phase control

When amplifying a multichannel audio signal, the receiver uses a low pass filter (LPF) to separate low frequency signals which output to the subwoofer. This normally causes a phase shift of low frequency signals compared to the main channels. Pioneer phase control technology effectively eliminates phase delays. This produces clearer separation from the centre, with a wide range, and also powerful bass to shake even massive walls. MCACC automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, distance, and height.
