Pioneer A-35R (Black)

Integrated Amplifier

531199920

From Pioneer, the developers of MOSFET Technology, comes a stellar integrated amplifier for your home audio system. The A-35R seamlessly integrates with your existing home stereo or home theater, delivering pulse-pounding power when you need it most.

A Heratige Of Great Performance

At Pioneer, great sound has been their business for decades. Today, they continue that legacy with every song, movie, MP3, or vinyl record you play. Whatever the medium, every Pioneer component (such as the Elite A-35R Integrated Amplifier) is engineered to retain the integrity of the original recording. They employ some of the most advanced processors and power amplifiers, with connections that allow for a pure, fast signal transfer. To further their technology they partner with leaders in the film, music, and computer industries. That's why discriminating listeners continue to trust Pioneer. They don't take chances with their audio/video performance.

MOSFET In A Nutshell

As developers of MOSFET analog signal boosting in multi-channel A/V receivers, Pioneer has pushed the envelope again with Advanced Direct Energy MOSFET circuitry, a vital part of the A-35R Integrated Amplifier. This new advancement offers high-power drivability, ultra-efficient amplification, stable imaging, and low energy loss. Power amplification units are placed symmetrically to precisely optimize each MOSFET condition and to maximize electric power. As a result, each channel achieves powerful output, exceptional sound quality, and clarity in every audible detail, even at low impedance.

Power Amp Mode

The purchase of a powered amplifier usually (if not always) means a person wants... well, more power. As an integrated amplifier, the A-35R will certainly perform this job, having been intricately constructed to handle a greater load than even the specifications state. The term integrated, by definition, means this amp will fit seamlessly into your existing stereo system. A hurdle that is often encountered when introducing new electronics to a system, especially electronics with their own set of controls, is the degradation of sound. Electronics have a tendency to add noise into the audio. This problem is proficiently addressed in the A-35R with Power Amp Mode. In this mode, the amplifier's volume controls and other control circuitry are bypassed, allowing the system to maintain control and avoiding the 'added noise' problem yet still boosting power to the system. Let's say you are set up with a 5.1 surround system, but your receiver has 6.1 or 7.1 abilities that can only be tapped with more juice. The A-35R will allow you to increase the power to your system to the level required, but with Power Amp Mode active you need not be concerned about added electric hum or degradation of audio quality.

Always like Pioneer products. In head-fi.com this amp was mentioned more than once as having a good headphone sound. I needed a good headphone and a good integrated amp for my speakers. This works very well for what I needed. This amp is a little bigger than I thought it would be. Thats my problem not the amps. Sound is very good and clarity is to me very good. Ease of use, very simple for anyone. My headphones are generally run by dedicated tube amps as I usually do not like SS amps. But this amp is a keeper.

Excellent sound stage. Works well with quality small monitors JBLs. Lesser quality MTX outdoor speakers, 8 woffer were no match in detail or low cycles. PS amp likes efficient speakers 91 db

Pros This Pioneer amplifier is in a slim form factor, features good layout of the controls and all the connections on the back. Front face and controls are plastic but overall feel fit and finish of the unit is very good. Sound quality is superb both using headphones, or speakers, with or without use of the tone controls. I am using it as both a speaker switch and second amplifier for driving speakers in two other rooms in the house. It will play both A & B speakers simultaneously. Power out is 40W conservatively rated but very clear and no distortion. Case temp after driving the speakers for a while was warm but not too hot, recommend setting the A-35R in a vented cabinet. The A-35R is also used for playing phonograph records as my new main AV Receiver does not have phonograph input. Cons Does not accept digital input - no optical inputs or coax inputs, but as a second amp, that is not necessary. Also, power button is manual so remote control only works after manually pressing the power switch. Another minor drawback is that the speaker terminals will not accept banana plugs. In summary as a second integrated amp to switch and drive two additional sets of speakers, feature phono input and 5 other available inputs, the quality and price, this was a great solution for this need. What the A-35R does, it does very well.

This amp is perfect for a small 2-channel system on a budget. Power to drive 4 ohm loads, and the accuracy to bring out the true color in your speakers. Elite quality at a small price. One of the best Bang for Buck components of all time.
