Item Description

Sony XAV-9550ES

Meet the XAV-9550ES, your gateway to outstanding in-car audio-visuals. With a 25.7 cm (10.1 inch) capacitive HD touchscreen, powerful and dynamic amplification, and wired and wireless connectivity for your smartphone, you’ll get a sound so good you’ll never want your car journey to end.

Capacitive touchscreen with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution

Our first Mobile ES™media receiver features a large floating 25.7 cm (10.1 inch) capacitive touchscreen with 1280 x 720-pixel high resolution. It gives crisp detail, higher brightness and contrast for superior in-car experience.

Gapless anti-glare capacitive touchscreen

Unlike a conventional display, the LCD is bonded directly to the protective glass touch layer with a transparent adhesive. The result is an extremely precise touch experience along with enhanced contrast and visual performance. Moreover, its glass surface is made with a special technique called anti-glare etching process that reduces reflection drastically for safer and easier operation.

Easy mounting and adjustment

The sturdy and adjustable mount is designed for single-DIN installation to suit a wide variety of vehicles. The four-way adjustment makes it easy to position the oversized display in your perfect spot.

Engineered for ultimate listening pleasure—ESS digital-to-analogue converter

Experience the calibre of sound usually reserved for high-end home audio products, thanks to the ESS DAC chip—a premium converter that provides precision analogue conversion for all your digital music files. With high-performance 32-bit processing, and a design that eliminates timing jitter, this D/A converter delivers unprecedented dynamic range and low harmonic distortion.

Built-in 4-channel Class A/B Amp for High-Resolution Audio

Dedicated left and right power circuits provide consistent, filtered power to the built-in amplifier, for accurate sound staging. The amplifier block itself also incorporates a range of updated circuit configurations to minimise interference, including a new volume control IC carefully selected for minimal distortion and noise.

Anti-resonance dual-layer chassis

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

High-Resolution wireless LDAC™ audio

Enjoy the convenience of Bluetooth® wireless audio and exceptional sound quality thanks to LDAC. Connect compatible devices to stream audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit quality, with bitrates up to 3x higher (990 kbps) than conventional Bluetooth.

High-grade 192 kHz / 24‑bit DSP

The 192 kHz / 24-bit DSP offers pristine sound processing and 8-band parametric equaliser in addition to the time alignment and 14-band equaliser. Together with the updated 3-zone crossover, which enables bi-amp front 2-way speaker drive settings, you can create the perfect match of front, rear and subwoofers.

6-channel time alignment

The powerful DSP enables incredibly precise time-alignment, for accurate sound imaging in any car. You can align individual speaker distances to as little as 1 cm or 0.1 inch increments from your seat position.

14-band equaliser

A 14-band EQ lets you adjust the overall sound to your music or taste, allowing you to manually cut and boost 14 different frequencies for all the speaker and subwoofer outputs at the same time.

8-band parametric EQ

To get optimum performance across different speaker configurations, you can apply an 8-band parametric EQ to each of the 6 channels (FL, FR, RL, RR, SWL, SWR) independently by cutting and boosting 8 custom frequencies for each individual speaker output and subwoofer output. You can also adjust the bandwidth (Q) for each of the 8 select frequencies of the speaker and subwoofer outputs.
