The Elite SC-95 receiver achieves an unprecedented level of realistic audio, thanks to Dolby Atmos surround sound driven by powerful Class D3 amplification. MCAAC® Pro capabilities provide studio-grade room calibration, along with advanced multi-zone features and effortless connectivity. This Elite receiver also offers advanced Super Resolution video scaling with 4K Ultra HD pass-through with HDCP 2.2, as well as the immersive new DTS:X surround-sound format.
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 you directly 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 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, putting sounds into motion to deliver the full impact of the performance. *External amplifier required.
Extreme power with extreme efficiency are hallmarks of the Elite SC-95, thanks to Class D3 (Direct Energy HD) amplifiers that deliver power in a cool running, lightweight package—generating less heat and energy loss than traditional Class AB designs, while consuming a fraction of the power and with greater reliability. Pioneer’s Class D3 delivers full power across all nine channels simultaneously for a total of 810 watts (8 ohms, 1 kHz @ 1.0% THD). 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.
Experience immersive, interactive 3-D realism like never before. 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.
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.
The Elite SC-95 adds ultimate flexibility to the multi-room experience by delivering up to four different zones of content, capable of powering a 5.1 Home Theater in the main zone, and completely different content in another zone—HDZone. Pioneer’s exclusive iControlAV5 Android/IOS application lets you control the entire experience.
With Pioneer’s free app, you can use your iPod® touch, iPhone® or iPad® as a remote to control basic functions. The app is also compatible with Android! Enjoy smooth control with settings support for 8 languages (same setting as your device). It is freely available from the App Store or via Google Play. *Device needs to be connected to a home LAN network in a wireless LAN environment.
For advanced home theater control, the Elite SC-95 is compatible with the most popular custom control companies, and offers custom installation features including full two-way RS-232c-over-IP control with the ability to receive metadata from the network and devices such as an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
