Saturday, July 3, 2021
SAN DIEGO, June 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics Inc. today announced the XAV-9500ES - the Mobile ES(TM) lineup's first in-car media receiver with high-res audio capabilities. With a sleek, high definition 10.1-inch display, the 9500ES offers high quality sound, customizable audio features and Sony's first wireless Apple CarPlay(1) and Android Auto(TM)(2) connections.
"Sony's Mobile ES series raised the bar for the premium in-car listening experience when it was previously introduced and it continues to impress our customers," said Daisuke Kawaguchi, Vice President of Home Entertainment & Sound, Sony Electronics Inc. "With the addition of this new receiver, we add even further depth to this impressive lineup."
The receiver's exciting new features include:
High-Quality Sound
-- High-resolution Audio Compatible: Enjoy the subtle nuances of
studio-quality sound with high-resolution audio. The 9500ES supports a
variety of high-resolution audio codecs including native 192 kHz /
24-bit WAV, FLAC, ALAC audio files, and DSD (22.4MHz) files via 192 kHz
/ 24-bit PCM conversion. LDAC enables Bluetooth(®) streaming of all
these codecs with exceptional sound quality.
-- ESS Digital-to-Analog Converter: Experience the same caliber of sound
typically reserved for high-end home audio products. With the ESS DAC
chip, a premium D/A converter that provides optimum quality for all
digital music files, the 9500ES offers high performance processing and
eliminated timing jitter for unprecedented dynamic range and low
harmonic distortion.
-- Built-in Premium 4-channel Class A/B Amplifier: To provide unmatched
audio quality, the dedicated power circuit is designed for left and
right channel amplification, while the overall amplifier block includes
updated circuit configurations, patterns and components that minimize
interference. Together with the electric volume circuit utilizing a
select audio IC with less distortion and noise, customers can enjoy
smooth highs, tight bass, wide dynamic range and more accurate sound
stage.
-- Optimum Audio Components: Carefully selected components ensure superb
quality sound. The dedicated choke coil in the power supply block
features powerful bass while filtering unwanted frequencies, for
controlled and dynamic audio reproduction. Audiophile-grade high polymer
solid electrolytic capacitors (FT CAP2), custom-made for Sony's high-end
products, deliver stable power to the ESS D/A converter for clear and
tight bass, while multi-layer polymer capacitors ensure low overall
harmonic distortion and natural sound.
-- Anti-resonance Dual-layer Chassis: The dual-layer design of the chassis
separates analogue and digital circuitry, preventing electro-magnetic
noise for uncompromised sound quality. The lower layer stores circuit
boards, which are dedicated to the audio and analogue process, and the
fully shielded upper layer separates the digital circuit boards.
-- Sound Customization: The high grade 192 kHz / 24-bit DSP offers pristine
sound processing and time alignment down to a remarkable 1 cm for each
of the 6 addressable channels(3). A 14-band EQ lets customers adjust the
overall sound to their music or taste, and each of the 6 channels
features independent 8-band parametric EQ to get optimum performance
across different speaker configurations. Together with the 3-zone
crossover, users can dial in the perfect match of front, rear and
subwoofers.
High-Definition Display
-- 10.1-inch Gapless Anti-glare Capacitive Touchscreen: Now updated with a
10.1" high-definition LCD panel and optically gapless design, it boasts
best-in-class picture quality while assuring safer and easier operation.
Unlike a conventional display, the LCD is bonded directly to the
protective glass touch layer with a transparent adhesive. The result is
an extremely precise touch experience along with enhanced contrast and
visual performance.
-- HD Graphical User Interface: The 1280 x 720 HD touchscreen offers an
enhanced user interface, featuring simple and clean graphics,
high-contrast "Mobile ES" color scheme and customizable wallpaper and
icon positionings.
-- Ultra-sleek "Floating" Display: The sturdy and adjustable mount now
works in four directions. With flexible installation options and
space-friendly single-DIN rear chassis, it can be installed in a variety
of vehicles.(4)
Smart Connectivity
-- Wire-Free Smartphone Connectivity: Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi and the
supplied GPS antenna, users can leave their smartphone in their pocket
and still access full device integration.
-- Wireless Apple CarPlay: Apple CarPlay integrates iPhone with the car
audio's display and controls, enabling users to make phone calls, access
music, send and receive messages, get directions optimized for traffic
and more while the driver stays focused on the road. Supporting
third-party navigation apps, Apple CarPlay provides even more choices to
get to the destination.(5)
-- Wireless Android Auto(TM): Designed with safety and convenience in mind,
Android Auto is a simpler way to use a smartphone with the car's
display. Drivers can talk to Google on Android Auto and stay connected,
entertained and informed while keeping their eyes on the road. Just say
"Hey Google" or press the voice control button on the 9500ES.(5)
Seamless Usability
-- USB Type-C(®) Compatible Rear Connection Terminals: USB Type-C terminal
is available for any compatible device, allowing high-current charge up
to 3A.
-- Quick Wake Up: With the quick wake up feature, customers are ready to go
right after turning on the ignition.(6)
-- Rear View Camera Ready with Adjustable Parking Guidelines: Customers can
see the images of up to three connected cameras when they shift the
vehicle's transmission lever to the reverse position or tap the
dedicated icons on the home screen.
-- Ergonomically Designed Physical Key Terminal and Customizable Large
Front Keys: The ergonomically designed physical key terminal gives
instant access to basic operations to minimize distractions behind the
wheel. Two customizable large keys are also available that users can
assign various functions like Mute, Display Off, Source, Home, etc.
Extensibility
-- iDatalink(®) Maestro(®) Compatible(7): iDatalink(®) Maestro(®)
compatibility connects the 9500ES to the vehicle's onboard computer,
turning it into a customized display for factory-equipped functions and
features. Users can interact with vehicle infotainment and information
directly on the 10.1" touchscreen.
-- Enhanced 5V 3-pre Out Connectivity: For future expandability, the 5V
3-pre out connectivity allows customers to build a full acoustic system,
including a newly available stereo subwoofer connection, and a 4-channel
stereo amplification for even louder and more powerful sound
reproduction.
