Overview of Pioneer DEH-S3000BT and DEH-S5000BT

Pioneer DEH-S5000BT has an interesting feature that has already been encountered in earlier models — Prism Rotary encoder . The ribbed surface, the coating under chrome and with the backlight looks unique. In addition, such a mechanism is even more convenient to use.

You can connect two microphones, but for this you will have to buy a special splitter separately.

External amplifiers can be connected: Pioneer DEH-S3000BT — two, in the DEH-S5000BT — three .

You can connect speakers in several ways:

standard mode — for traditional systems: 2 speakers and a subwoofer
network — for channel-connected front speakers

For a clearer and more powerful sound, adjust the RF and LF filters. So, the upper frequencies will go only to the tweeter, the low and medium ones to the midbass speakers, the lower bass to the subwoofer.

Both models are equipped with Time Alignment , with it you can delay the signal for a few seconds and "equalize" the distance to the right and left speakers. So, the sound will be evenly distributed in space.

The Dynamic Bass Enhancer function improves the bass sound. It turns out more saturated. The peculiarity is that the load on the speakers does not increase.

Receivers are universal, if we consider them from the possibilities of reproduction. All popular formats are supported: MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC.

Using the USB connector, you can also connect Apple devices. But this applies only to the model DEH-S5000BT. And if you additionally connect also Bluetooth, you can use voice control.

Both models include Android connection, moreover — even two modes of operation:

MTP is only listening.
Pioneer Advanced Remote Control — listening and managing.

When you connect your smartphone, the fast charging mode turns on. Therefore, here we get universal opportunities: listening, tuning and recharging.

With wireless technology, you can connect two phones at the same time. The memory stores up to 10 smartphones.
