Sony XAV-9000ES: Mobile Digital Multimedia Receiver

About the Sony XAV-9000ES: Mobile Digital Multimedia Receiver 

Flush surface 6.8" HD 1280 x 720 capacitive touchscreen:

Our first double din Mobile ES media Receiver features a new 6.8" (17.1 cm) capacitive touchscreen through 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.  It offers crisp detail, higher brightness and contrast for a superior in car experience.

High resolution audio compatible:

Enjoy the subtle nuances of studio quality sound.  The XAV-9000ES supports a variety of high resolution audio codecs including native 192 kHz / 24 bit WAV, FLAC, ALAC audio files, and DSD (22.4 MHz) files via 192 kHz / 24 bit PCM conversion.  LDAC enables Bluetooth streaming of all these codecs through exceptional sound quality.

ESS digital-analog converter:

Experience the same caliber of sound usually reserved for high end home audio products, thanks to the ESS DAC chip, a premium converter that provides optimum quality, from all your digital music files.  Through high performance 32 bit processing and eliminated timing jitter, this D / A converter delivers an unprecedented dynamic range and low harmonic distortion. 

Premium 4 channel class A / B amplifier:

Giving unmatched audio quality to the built in amplifier, a dedicated power circuit is designed for each of the left and right channels, while an overall amplifier block includes updated circuit configurations, patterns, and choices of components, minimizing interference.  Furthermore, the volume control circuit utilizes a select audio IC through less distortion and noise.  The results are smooth highs, tight bass, wide dynamic range, and a more accurate soundstage.

Choices for optimum performance:

Carefully selected components ensure superb sound quality.  The dedicated choke coil features powerful bass while filtering unwanted frequencies, for controlled and dynamic audio reproduction.  Audiophile grade capacitors deliver effortless power for clear and tight bass, while multi layer polymer capacitors help ensure low overall harmonic distortion and natural sound character. 

Anti resonance dual layer chassis:

The dual layer design of the chassis separates analogue and digital circuitry, preventing electromagnetic interference for uncompromised sound quality.

Sound customization:

The 192 kHz / 24 bit DSP offers pristine sound processing and time alignment, 14 band equalizer, and 8 band parametric equalizer.  Together through the updated 3 zone crossover, which enables bi amp front 2 way speaker drive settings, you can dial in the perfect combination of front, rear and subwoofers.

Bi amp front 2 way speaker drive settings:

Designed for front component speaker configurations, this setting lets you apply independent crossover, PEQ and even time alignment settings to individual drivers in bi amp front speakers.  Now you can customize sound for each component speaker using the same detailed control normally reserved for front and rear speaker groups.

3 camera trigger inputs:

Drivers can see the images of up to three connected cameras when shifting the vehicle’s transmission lever to the reverse position or tap the dedicated icons on the home screen. By utilizing the supplied trigger wires, each camera image can be switched on and off, or from one to another automatically by detecting the vehicle’s turn signals or sensing compatible signals such as that for a connected front camera.  An adjustable parking guide is also available for reverse gear. 

Wire free smartphone connectivity:

Thanks to built in WiFi and the supplied GPS antenna, users can leave their smartphone in their pocket and still access full device integration. 

Wireless apple CarPlay

iPhone users will be able to make phone calls, listen to music, send and receive messages, access their favorite apps, get directions through real time traffic conditions, including third party navigation apps, and so much more directly from the dashboard, all while allowing the driver to stay focused on the road.

Wireless android auto:

Designed through safety and convenience in mind, android auto is a simpler way to use a smartphone through 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 9000ES to get started.
