Pioneer VSX-S520-S, Slimline Receiver, silver
5.1-channel A/V receiver in slimline format with 4K video pass-through, additional power amplifier for passive woofers, MCACC room calibration system and fully equipped streaming

Ultra-flat AV receiver with a full range of features 
Modern multi-channel speaker systems do not have to be large. Even very discreet, compact 5.1 systems can effortlessly create a gripping cinema atmosphere in the living room, something that soundbars and especially TV speakers simply cannot achieve. To complement this, the AV receiver should also be as flat as possible while remaining high-quality – the VSX-S 520 plays this role perfectly. 

With its only 65mm high housing, it matched current Blu-ray players such as the BDP-X 300 exactly, and thanks to three different colors, it can be matched with any TV model and any interior design style. 

Class D power amplifiers developed in-house by Pioneer guarantee a rich power output of 80 watts per channel across six channels despite the flat design – enough to adequately drive even demanding speakers. 

To ensure that as much of their sound as possible is preserved even in problematic rooms, the automatic MCACC calibration system corrects acoustic problems reliably and effectively. And because the VSX-S 520 looks best when as few additional devices as possible are standing around it, Pioneer has built in the music sources: Hi-Res DLNA streaming, internet radio, the subscription services Spotify, Tidal and Deezer, as well as AirPlay and Bluetooth ensure that this discreetly styled entertainment professional never runs out of content.
