Hi everyone,

Next monday 13th, we’ll be introducing an all new top-of-the-line car audio head unit which has the very difficult task to replace our very very successful and much rewarded DEX-P90 and DEQ-P90 units.

A change of this level of audio device doesn’t happen every day… , but even though the P90-series unit was still crowned with a “best of” award in the U.K. recently and has a cosmetic design that is still up to date, we thought anyway that it was time to bring something completely new !!

Our new baby will be called DEX-P99RS and like our P90-series, this unit is all about Sound Quality !!!

Our development target with the new unit was of course to maintain the sound quality level like P90-series, but adding an up to date feature and connectivity list as well as our desire to offer all this at a noticeably lower price point.

Noblesse oblige, Pioneer has of course foreseen a big number of absolute highlights, for instance :

COSMETICS :

* Absolute top class cosmetic design fitting the “less is more” strategy we apply in all PRS and ODR head units also maintaining their basic color tones : black, white and aluminum.

* CD-Tuner unit with full connectivity of external devices like, iPod, USB, AUX-input, Bluetooth Telephone and Audio Streaming accessories …

* Adjustable key illumination enabling an exact match with you car’s dashboard design. To make it easy for you we put some popular colors already in (white, blue, green, amber, red). But if that’s not good enough for you, you can also tailor your own color by using the Custom mode and adjusting each Red/Green/Blue portion separately.

AUDIO

* Big challenge but we made it !! The 4-way DSP device has now been INTEGRATED inside the 1-DIN box of the head unit !!! So no more need for an extra black box like DEQ-P90 !

* The unit offers 31-band Equalizing and Crossover capabilities as well as Time Alignment adjustment with a correction range up to 4 meters ! If you like it the easy way, we’ve also included a microphone so you can let the head unit do the measuring of EQ and TA for you !

* The specialists amongst you will be really happy about this feature : ALL channels (HIGH, MID, LOW, SUBW) can now use the FULL frequency band for network adjustment !!!

* The unit is loaded with high grade audio components and has been sound tuned to the max by our engineers who have been actively using the input we received from our Team Pioneer members !

We expect to be shipping the units as of mid August (early September for Russia) and in fact there’s much more to tell about it than the highlights above !!!
