Pioneer X-CM32BT Microsystem
Pioneer X-CM32BT stereo system combines a modern design and all advantages of traditional models. It consists of central block and a pair of passive speakers. The acoustic cables are standard, power unit is built-in, power cable is detachable, and possibilities of the system, in this way, are the widest. The design is quite strict: only drum volume control is noticeable on the smooth black, red or white facade. CD tray, USB, headphones output and analogue minijack input for connecting mobile devices are hidden in the low part of faceplate. In addition, wireless interface Bluetooth is available for work with portable techniques. RCA linear input, AM/FM terminals and spring clips for acoustic connection are mounted on the back side of the body. The power of built-in amplifier, working in D class, is up to 15 W per each of two channels. Unfortunately, equipping the system by active subwoofer is impossible (there is on output for it), but, obviously, the engineers thought about portability most of all. Excess basses and big black box are no use in cabinet or in bedroom.
The speakers look like small, shelf satellites, completed in the body of phase inverted type made of chipboard panel. The ports are forwarded rearward, that's why it is a good practice to provide some distance from the wall while the installing. 94mm MF/LF dynamics and dome tweeter with diameter of 50mm are hidden under removable, fabric-covered protective grill.
Built-in equalizer allows regulating feedback in top and low parts of specter, and also allows four preset modes. In the memory of the tuner you can record up to 15 AM stations and 30 FM stations. MP3 an WMA files, in spite of CD-DA, are read from CD. For working with Bluetooth you are offered to download a branded application Pioneer Wireless Streaming App., which is available for smart phones, tablets and players under iOs and Android control. It is pleasant for the device to remember all, ever communicating with it gadgets and you don't need any manipulations for the reset - it is completely automatic. In addition, there is special USB and pedestal for Apple pocket equipment. Using a standard cable (it is not included in the system) you can connect iPod, iPhone or iPad, play music fro them, and also recharge the battery of gadget. Controlling the playback is comfortable, using full-sized remote control, equipped by all necessary keys.
The system sound is characterized by neutrality and correct balance of frequencies. There is an impression that the system would rather be a compact blocked system, made of good components, than boxed music center. The tries to correct unavoidable limits for tiny system by digital treatment wasn't found. This will definitely make audio lovers happy, because, usually, suchlike is done by essential distortion of music material.
Properly, those styles, which are relied in the middle and high range, sound pleasantly and neutrally, but you better find anything else for hard rock, movies and games. The preferences under monoblock system are evidently: the scene is spacious, good formed, stereo effect is perceived great without any synthesized echo. Certainly, all of these are within the limits of its price and size category. You should not abuse of volume: the walls of the speakers are not so massive to exclude the resonators completely.
