Pioneer X-CM42BT

Who does not like good sound? Such a person is difficult to find now. And we are not going to talk about headphones, as you might have thought, but about the new generation of audio systems, and not from someone, but from one of the leading manufacturers in the market of sound - the company Pioneer.


Pioneer released to the market completely new microsystem X-CM42BT , equipped with a built-in amplifier class D (2 × 15 W) - ideal for high-performance two-way speakers. It plays files from any source, including a smartphone, tablet, iPod, flash drive and even a regular disk.

The microsystem looks very cool: the design is minimalistic, which can not be said about the possibilities. From the top you will find a docking station with a Lightning connector, thanks to which you can connect to it any iOS-device with the appropriate connector. Of course, there was also Bluetooth support with BT Auto Connect and BT Standby. BT Auto Connect remembers all devices that work with the system, which is convenient when you reconnect them.
