A coherent, realistic sonic experience.

 The S-8EX centre speaker has been designed for high end multi-channel systems including S-3EX and/or S-4EX. These three models feature the same drivers and the same curved front baffles in order to ensure a perfect coherency among the different channels. It results in an astonishingly realistic sonic experience.

The EX Series is the result of a concerted global effort involving top Pioneer and TAD specialists working in Japan, France and the US. The Engineering Division in Tokyo, Speaker Design Centre in Paris and the Pioneer R&D facility in Los Angeles have pooled their expertise to produce a truly outstanding series of reference speakers.

The S-3EX, S-4EX and S-8EX speakers all feature an exclusive concentric driver with Ceramic Graphite tweeter and Magnesium medium, as well as dedicated aramid cone woofers. The cabinets, crafted from multiple layers of laminated MDF up to a generous 100 mm thick, guarantee absolute acoustic neutrality. They feature a baffle with a curved surface, the ā€�Precision Curveā€¯, which aligns the individual speaker cones in exactly the right positions to ensure that all sounds arrive at your ears at the same time.

Our EX speakers have been monitored, tested and optimised by AIR STUDIOS in London. Since 1969, when Beatles producer George Martin founded this temple of sound, AIR STUDIOS has become a recognised authority when it comes to fine-tuning high-end audio components. Their
verdict about the EX series? A speaker range that can reproduce the sound
of a professional studio, right in your living room.

The S-8EX is also available in satin dark teak veneer.
