The Elite SC-95 receiver achieves unprecedented realism,
thanks to Dolby Atmos^® surround sound driven by powerful Class
D³ amplification. The Elite SC-95 provides studio-grade room
calibration with MCACC^® Pro. Along with advanced multi-zone
features and effortless connectivity, it offers advanced Super Resolution video
scaling with 4K Ultra HD pass-through with HDCP 2.2, and the immersive new
DTS:X surround-sound format (available with a firmware update).

Powerful Class D³ Amplification

Power and efficiency are hallmarks of the Elite SC-95,
thanks to Class D³ amplifiers that deliver plenty of power in a
cool-running, lightweight package. Pioneer’s advanced Class D³ digital
circuitry overcomes the limitations of traditional Class AB amplifier designs,
which suffer reduced power output as channels are added. Instead, Pioneer Class
D³ delivers full power across all nine channels simultaneously,
for a total of 760 watts (8 ohms, 1 kHz @ 1.0% THD). The Elite SC-95 recreates
the full impact and dynamic range of today’s high-resolution multi-channel
audio and movie soundtracks. With a direct signal path and no EMI filters,
feedback loops or current limiting, these amps can handle low-impedance speaker
loads that challenge lesser receivers. Meanwhile, the amps in the Elite SC-95
are so efficient, they generate less heat and energy loss while consuming a
fraction of the power and with greater reliability.

Elite with Dolby Atmos^® Revolutionizes
the Surround Landscape.

The Elite SC-95 with Dolby Atmos will literally change your
experience with movies and music, and all it takes is one listen. The Elite
SC-95 integrates Dolby’s groundbreaking surround technology and is compatible
with 7.2 4ch*, 9.2 2ch*, 7.2 2ch and 5.2 4ch, configurations for Dolby Atmos.
It works by adding height to the sonic landscape, creating a true 3D,
multi-dimensional space that puts listeners inside the experience. Optimized
room calibration through the built-in MCACC Pro feature, in conjunction with
Atmos-enabled speakers like the Elite Home Theater System or dedicated
ceiling-mounted speakers, reproduces object-oriented sound in smooth, curving,
and realistic three-dimensional movement overhead by top-firing Atmos drivers.
Dolby Atmos brings new life to traditional soundtracks and music too, putting
sounds into motion and delivering the full impact of the performance.

Prepare for object-based audio with DTS:X

The next-generation surround sound format, available as a
no-cost firmware update, creates an amazing three-dimensional sound field that
reproduces the movement of sound in space. It automatically adapts the signal
to existing channels and speakers and requires no specific speaker layout.
Experience immersive, interactive 3-D realism like never before!

Precision Room Calibration with MCACC Pro

MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) Pro takes room
calibration to a new level of precision. Further enhancing the
three-dimensional realism of the Elite SC-95, MCACC Pro calibrates your room
sound using a sound-collecting microphone to monitor the sound environment and
an equalizer to optimize and precision-tune each speaker to the room. Pioneer’s
Full-Band Phase Control technology eliminates phase lag to precisely control
sound locations for ideal multi-channel sound reproduction. MCACC Pro is so
advanced that it includes dual independent subwoofer EQ. Tailoring left and
right-channel low frequency response curves lets you achieve optimum subwoofer
performance, creating powerful bass response and seamless integration with your
main speaker system. With the push of a button, it’s like having an acoustical
engineer fine-tuned your home theater system.

ESS SABRE³² DACs for High-Performance
Audio

The Elite SC-95 delivers unmatched digital-to-analog signal
conversion. Two SABRE³² Ultra DAC (ES9016S) units from ESS
Technology—recognized as among the best in the industry—are critical to
achieving purity of sound, wide dynamic range and minimal harmonic distortion
that let the high-power Class D³ amps perform to their fullest.

Precision Playback in Multiple Formats

Supporting high-resolution digital file formats
(192kHz/24-bit) in WAV, FLAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless lets audiophiles hear
their favorite music as it was originally intended. Apple Lossless reconstructs
exact data from compressed data, with no discernible loss in audio quality.
MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV and FLAC music files can be streamed from a compatible PC,
laptop, tablet or smartphone. Gapless Playback eliminates gaps between
consecutive tracks intended to be played continuously, such as classical music
or live recordings.

Ultra HD Pass-Through with HDCP 2.2

The Elite SC-95 supports transmission of 4K/60P/4:4:/24-bit
video signals and High Dynamic Range (HDR) signals, along with the latest HDCP
2.2 copyright protection standard. 4K Ultra HD Pass-through is the recognized
standard of ultra-high video resolution, boasting 3,840 x 2,160 (24 Hz/25 Hz/30
Hz) pixels or 4,096 x 2,160 (24 Hz) pixels. Every Elite AV receiver can pass
through 4K video signals to any compatible display, offering the
highest-quality image available — a full four times the current HD standard.

Video Scaler with Super Resolution

Experience an exceptional, virtually noise-free picture
regardless of the source. Video scaler with Super Resolution allows you to
up-scale any video source to 4K Ultra HD resolution for improved picture
quality and compatibility with next generation TVs, and makes Blu-ray Discs and
DVDs look more detailed and cinematic than ever before.
