Pioneer Electronics SP-EBS73-LR Bookshelf, SP-EC73 Center Channel, SP-EFS73 Floorstanding Speakers Plus SW-E10 Subwoofer
Pioneer Electronics is here at CEDIA EXPO 2014 with their new Dolby Atmos-enabled Elite speaker system. Consisting of the SP-EBS73-LR bookshelf, SP-EC73 center channel, SP-EFS73 floorstanding speakers and SW-E10 subwoofer ($749/pr, $399, $699 and $599 respectively) was designed by Pioneer's chief speaker engineer Andrew Jones. The bookshelf, floorstanding, and center speakers utilize a true three-way design concept using 5.25" aluminum woofers, 4" aluminum midrange, and 1" soft dome tweeter. Pioneer's SP-EBS73-LR bookshelf and SP-EFS73 floorstanding speakers include an additional 4" CST speaker integrated into the top of each enclosure providing Dolby Atmos height information.

The heart of the Elite Speaker System is the Pioneer-developed CST driver embodying a single point source concept; the midrange and tweeter speakers are configured coaxially so that their directional characteristics conform. Utilizing a 4" aluminum cone, the midrange has a first break-up mode at a high 8 kHz, ensuring pure 'pistonic' motions throughout its operating range. Combined with a 1" soft dome tweeter for extended treble. Pioneer's 5.25" woofer utilizes an aluminum cone and an inverted aluminum dust cap for improved strength and a true pistonic motion throughout its operating range. The woofer driver uses a large 1.5" diameter long throw voice coil and an oversized magnet with a vented pole piece.

Pioneer's SW-E10 subwoofer provides low bass via a 10" long-throw driver with 2" high–power voice coil. This provides a 1" peak-to-peak of linear cone movement. An integrated BASH amplifier provides 600 watts of peak power (300 watts RMS) and features DSP processing.
