Supercharge Your Favorite Speakers with MusicCast Streaming Audio
Connect a pair of your favorite speakers to this stereo amp, then use your existing Wi-Fi network to access all of your music from a simple app. Add other MusicCast speakers, sound bars or receivers for wireless multiroom audio playback. Great for use with in-ceiling and outdoor patio speakers.

• High-performance design with premium audio components
• Extremely versatile control and connectivity options
• Access to your music library, Pandora, Spotify, Rhapsody and more
• MusicCast app for Apple iOS and Android devices
• Conveniently slim, can be placed horizontally or vertically

Audiophile Sound, Exquisite Design
The WXA-50 features a solid metal body with an aluminum cover and a slim, compact design that fits just about anywhere. Under the hood, you’ll find high-performance components and advanced circuitry that deliver powerful, sonically-pure amplification.

Control at Your Fingertips
Connect the WXA-50 to any pair of traditional wired speakers (bookshelf, tower, in-ceiling or outdoor speakers), then download the free MusicCast app to connect it to your existing home Wi-Fi to create a powerful streaming audio system.

Quickly select sources, browse your music library and control playback right from your smartphone or tablet. You can also control sound EQ settings from the app.

All Your Content
Access streaming music and Internet radio stations, music files on your mobile devices and computers, Bluetooth sources and external sources such as a TV, Blu-ray Disc player or even a turntable.

MusicCast
A single WXA-50 can be used with speakers to create a standalone streaming audio system or multiple units can be used throughout the home. Play different music in each room or get everyone listening to the same thing. It can also be used with other MusicCast speakers, sound bars, AV receivers or Hi-Fi gear, providing more options and versatility than ever before.

Bluetooth and AirPlay
Stream virtually any audio source via Bluetooth as an input to the WXA-50. Bluetooth sources can be redistributed through Wi-Fi to other MusicCast devices. Or stream using AirPlay from an Apple device to a single unit.

Slim, Compact Design
Only 2″ tall and 8-3/8″ wide, it can be placed horizontally or vertically, allowing it to fit neatly in almost any space.

Rack Shelf Friendly
With the feet removed, the WXA-50 is only 1-5/8″ high, allowing it to be placed on a rack shelf within a 1U high rack space. Two units can be placed side-by-side on a 19″ wide shelf.

Superior Audio Technology
Yamaha’s relentless pursuit of sonic purity is clearly evident in the engineering of the WXA-50. The preamp circuitry uses the same high-performance ESS Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) found in high-end Yamaha AV receivers and a proprietary power supply ground configuration prevents sound degradation. A 48-bit digital volume control provides much greater precision and quality than conventional controls. A highly-rigid metal chassis supplies the stability necessary for clear, powerful music reproduction.

High-Resolution Audio
The WXA-50 supports high-resolution audio – including FLAC/WAV/AIFF up to 192 kHz/24-bit, Apple Lossless (ALAC) up to 96 kHz/24-bit and DSD up to 5.6 MHz – for more accurate reproduction of sonic details, presence and atmosphere.

Yamaha Proprietary Sound Processing
The Compressed Music Enhancer greatly improves sound reproduction from smartphones or other compressed sources, like MP3 files. Volume-adaptive EQ automatically adjusts the bass/treble balance according to the volume level. Advanced Bass Extension provides a deeper, richer low-end sound – great for use with compact or in-wall speakers. Direct Mode allows you to play back high-resolution audio sources just as they are, without any processing.

One-Touch Controls
Pressing any button on the front panel turns the unit on and initiates playback of the previously selected source providing quick and easy access to your favorite music.

The WXA-50 also comes with an ultra-slim remote offering six presets, so you can quickly access your favorite Internet radio stations even when your smartphone or tablet’s not handy.

Pro-Grade Connectivity and Control
The WXA-50 supports professional-grade features including:
• High-quality binding posts
• Wired Ethernet port
• Wireless off switch
• Optical and analog inputs
• Subwoofer out
• Trigger in/out
• Remote in

Low Power Consumption
The WXA-50 consumes less than two watts of power in standby mode. When the power is on, power consumption is still a low 15 watts. In addition, the Auto Power Standby feature lets you save energy by automatically turning the power off after two, four, eight or 12 hours.

Featuring three-block internal layout, Ultra Rigid Construction and Double-Layered Chassis for a robust build, 6-layered main circuit board, SDR/HDR preset mode and support for HDR10/Dolby Vision for quality picture, as well as premium audio DAC and Zero Signal Terminal for high-grade sound, the UDP-LX500 lets you enjoy the highest video resolution as well as your other digital disc collections. Construction • Three-Block Internal Layout (Power Supply, Drive/Digital Processing, Analog Audio) • Ultra-Rigid Construction without Radiation Holes • Double-Layered Chassis Reinforced with 3 mm Steel Plate for Rigidity and Low Center of Gravity • 6-Layered Main Circuit Board for High S/N Ratio • Rigid & Quiet UHD BD Drive • Honeycomb Mechanism Drive Cover - Acoustic Damper Tray, Float-Mounting Structure Video Features • Ultra HD Blu-ray Playback • SDR/HDR Preset Mode for Optimal Performance for the Display • Video Adjust • HDR10 • Dolby Vision (Low Latency Compatible) • 36-bit Deep Color/"x.v.Color" Audio Features • Highly Precise D/A Conversion • Direct Function for Pure Analog Audio Output • Dual HDMI Output • PQLS Jitter-less Sound Transmission via HDMI (with compatible AV Receiver) Convenience • Disc Information On-Screen Display • BD-Live/BONUSVIEW • Continued Viewing Playback • 30 sec Skip Forward/10 sec Skip Back • Auto Power Off • Firmware Update (USB/Network) • Self-Illuminating Remote Control Ultra HD Blu-ray Playback Certified by the UHD Alliance, the new Elite UDP-LX500 meets or exceeds strict performance specifications for resolution (4K - 4 times sharper than HD), high dynamic range (HDR - brilliant brights, deepest darks) and wide color spectrum (more lifelike colors). It also focuses on other video and audio attributes including immersive audio (multi-dimensional sound) among others. These performance advances guarantee the UDP-LX500 is able to fully replicate the richness of life's sights and sounds, enabling viewers to more accurately experience the content creator's vision. Three-Block Internal Layout The blocks for power supply, drive/digital processing and analog audio are separated into three to eliminate electrical and magnetic interference between the blocks. Ultra-Rigid Construction without Radiation Holes Even the holes for heat radiation are excluded to realize a flat form with optimal electric circuit design and minimum mechanical noise from the rotating system. The result is significantly low noise and even more rigid and stable chassis structure. Double-Layered Chassis with Rigid Under Base for Rigidity and Low Center of Gravity The 1.6 mm-thick chassis base is reinforced with a 3 mm-thick steel plate Rigid Under Base. This Double-Layered Chassis structure provides a low center-of-gravity and overall rigidity that prevents the transfer of external vibration to the inner chassis and offers a superior reading of the disc. 6-Layered Main Circuit Board for High S/N Ratio A 6-layered IVH is used for the main circuit board to thoroughly eliminate digital noise. This optimizes the digital signal wiring and minimizes GND impedance and dramatically improves S/N ratio in audio/video signal processing. The 18 Gbps transmission through the latest HDMI standard becomes even more precise. SDR/HDR Preset Mode for Optimal Performance for the Display In addition to the video parameter "Reference" for reproducing the original master quality, you can select "LCD TV," "OLED TV," or "Projector" for the video quality best suited to your display. Additionally, there are SDR/HDR presets for each video parameter, that automatically switches between SDR preset and HDR preset according to the output signal. Disc Information On-Screen Display You can display the disc information on your screen by pressing and holding the remote control's DISPLAY button. In addition to the playing disc's details, you can easily check mastering information such as MaxFALL (Maximum Frame Average Light Level) and MaxCLL (Maximum Content Light Level) available on some HDR content, as well as HDMI output information . PQLS Jitter-less Sound Transmission With the precision quartz controller on a compatible AV receiver, Pioneer's PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) eliminates distortion caused by timing errors. It controls the amount of audio signals from the AV receiver to the UDP-LX500, giving the best possible digital-to-analog conversion. UDP-LX500 supports PQLS 2ch Audio, Multi-Surround and Bit-stream. Zero Signal Terminal The Zero Signal Terminal is a Pioneer-original feature dedicated to tuning audio and video quality without signal transmission. By connecting the Zero Signal Terminal with the audio/video input terminal of an AV receiver etc., the reference level (GND) of the audio/video signals is aligned between the two devices and the potential difference is suppressed, allowing a precise and high-quality signal transmission.

About Pioneer Home Audio SCLX704

Equipped with the 6th generation of Direct Energy HD Amplifier, the SC-LX704 is worthy of being your home cinema's centerpiece, and an ideal combination for Pioneer's flagship universal disc player. Two ES9026PRO DACs ensure quality audio reproduction, while MCACC Pro Auto Room Tuning technology with Full Band Phase Control brings out the best from 3D surround sounds of IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X. Enjoy rich, vibrant sound with PQLS jitterless transmission. The new Audio Exclusive Mode and AV Direct Mode enhance detailed sound reproduction by turning off the unused functions to eliminate unwanted noise. Direct Energy HD Class D Switching Amplifier Continuously evolving throughout the years, Pioneer's Direct Energy HD Amp has now reached the 6th generation. New power coils are adopted for the ideal speaker drive, as well as new custom film capacitors co-developed with Shinyei Capacitor for the ultimate sound. The power supply and patterning has been developed through repeated tuning. Also, the entire transmission path from the pre stage to the power stage has been changed to balanced circuitry, to transmit noise-free high-quality signals to the power stage. MCACC Pro Auto Room Tuning MCACC Pro, the pinnacle of Pioneer's auto room tuning technology, analyzes the phase and group delay characteristics to precisely control phase differences between speakers. MCACC Pro corrects phase differences in all ranges and all channels, from phase difference in the original audio material to the sound emitted from the speakers. Required microphone included. IMAX Enhanced MODE IMAX digitally re-mastered content for the home environment is created to provide the same sharp 4K HDR images and powerful sound just as the filmmaker intended. Pioneer Elite's IMAX Mode is meticulously optimized to play digitally remastered content to deliver the best viewing and listening experience on Earth. ESS 384 kHz/32-bit DAC Two 384 kHz/32-bit ESS DACs (ES9026PRO), same as the ones used for Pioneers PD-70AE SACD player, are used for all channels. With extremely precise D/A conversion and high S/N ratio, the DAC provides powerful sound full of rich details. Dolby Atmos You can reproduce object-oriented sound in smooth, curving movements, or the realistic three-dimensional movement overhead by the top speakers. DTS:X Can automatically adapt the audio to the existing channels and speaker system, no specific speaker layout is required. Full Band Phase Control Pioneer's Phase Control technology effectively eliminates phase lag and significantly improves the multi-channel sound without any extra operation. Furthermore, The Full Band Phase Control technology focuses on the group delay in the speaker network filter, and adjusts the phase of each unit as well as the group delay for each speaker. Multi-range speakers gain the sound coherence of full-range speakers, while retaining the wide frequency range advantage. In an environment where the phase of all units and all channels are precisely controlled, a remarkably clear sound location with a surrounding feel is achieved. In combination with MCACC Pro, the ideal multi-channel reproduction environment can be created, which faithfully replicates object audio and the intention of the original content developer. PQFA Jitterless Sound Processing for Network/USB With PQFA (Precision Quartz File-based Audio), clocks are available for each stage of input, digital signal processing, and D/A conversion, and the shorter path prevents jitter from occurring. Additionally, a high-precision clock IC (OSC) is used to realise D/A conversion with significantly less jitter. PQLS Jitterless Sound Transmission With the precision quartz controller on the AV receiver, Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS) eliminates distortion caused by timing errors. It controls the amount of audio signals from the AV receiver to the Pioneer universal disc player connected via HDMI, giving the best possible digital-to-analog conversion. Audio Exclusive Mode Interference from video signals is eliminated by turning off the video signal path via HDMI. You can enjoy detailed sound, full of spatial feel. AV Direct Mode The feature turns off the network functions to suppress digital noise within the AV receiver, and improves sound quality for analog playback, digital input, HDMI playback etc. Mode 1 turns off the network module operation clock, while Mode 2 shuts down the network power completely for more superior sound. Works with Alexa Works with Alexa makes you control SC-LX704 with your voice via Alexa-enabled device such as the Amazon Echo, to play, pause, and skip titles or control the volume. You can enjoy the music via streaming service such like Amazon Music by selecting song title, artist name, release year, and genre. Ready for 4K HDR entertainment Enjoy support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) video including HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision, and BT.2020. The 4:4:4 color space is also supported. Six HDMI inputs, ARC-ready MAIN OUT, and SUB OUT pass 4K/60p and HDR video from player to compatible TV and projector and all terminals are HDCP 2.2 compliant. High-Performance AC Cable Included detachable OFC power cable contributes to superior sound. Anti-Standing Wave Insulators Features a special form with no parallel sides inside to prevent cavity resonance. This makes the sound localisation, tone, and scale clearer, while also contributing to seamless connection between the channels and improved response to quick sound.
