Pioneer MVH-X580BT

The BT symbols at the end of the name of the car radio from the eminent audio equipment manufacturer Pioneer are not just found — they make it clear that the Bluetooth module has been adopted, with the help of which mobile gadgets running Android or iOs connect to the head unit.

Playback

"Dancing with a tambourine" to set up a wireless connection is not required. The owner of the car radio just needs to install the functional Pioneer ARC application on his device and remember to activate the Bluetooth module. In addition, the model supports playback of tracks from USB flash drives and connecting a smartphone via the AUX output. In terms of format readability, the Pioneer MVH-X580BT also does not graze the back — all the most common file types (MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, FLAC) are recognized by the car radio very well. There is no CD-drive in the equipment of the model.

Arsenal of audio settings

The device is included in the category of processor head units with all their inherent advantages: an extensive arsenal of sound settings allows you to masterfully control the sound stage, shifting it in any direction relative to the listener's position. This is achieved by setting the time delays for each of the channels separately. Audio settings can be made in two modes: "Standard" (support for independent high-pass filter settings for the front and rear, as well as low-pass filter for the subwoofer) and "Network" (greater features in per-channel sound settings).

Virtual DJ

Special attention deserves the proprietary function MIXTRAX — a kind of virtual DJ that will appeal to avid audiophiles. It provides the ability to add sound effects to the transitions between tracks and fine-tune the colour music (for example, so that it changes depending on the overall volume or only when practicing the bass part). The sound that the Pioneer MVH-X580BT produces is rated by the owners of the device as a solid "five". And with good acoustics, the sound of the radio goes to a new qualitative level, fully satisfying even the most demanding listeners.
