VSA-AX10Ai-S with open front input cover
THX Ultra2 means enjoying exciting 7.1-channel playback performances from multi-channel programmes. Whereas original THX Ultra was intended for
Dolby Pro Logic sources, THX Ultra2 is entirely adapted to recent high-quality digital formats such as DTS and Dolby Digital. Pioneer’s VSA-AX10Ai was
the first in the world to adopt this technology — a true breakthrough in home entertainment. THX Ultra2 ensures optimal multi-channel music and film enjoyment. In
addition to THX Cinema and THX Surround EX, THX Ultra2 technology includes two new modes featuring THX exclusive technology, ASA (Advanced Speaker Array).
THX Ultra2 Cinema allows non-Surround EX-encoded, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 material to be played on a seven-speaker configuration. For music playback, THX Music
Mode can handle all types of music formats, including high-resolution DVD-Audio and SACD multi-channel music recordings.
