The Z-Series is based on highly advanced technology developed by Pioneer, utilizing carefully selected materials and parts, and benefiting from our decades of automotive loudspeaker design theory and testing expertise. Following Pioneerâs OPEN & SMOOTHâą sound concept, the Z-Series automotive loudspeakers feature smooth off-axis frequency response, superior directivity, and an extended frequency range, engineered specifically to produce dynamic, accurate sound quality for your car. The result is a purity of sound that achieves unprecedented audio artistry.
Hi-Res Audio Speaker
The quality of music recordings available to listeners has evolved. Hi-Res Audio recordings contain significantly more data compared to a standard CD recording and require a loudspeaker that is capable of smoothly reproducing frequencies of 40kHz or higher. The Z speakers are designed to deliver sound thatâs clearer, sharper and more complex - reproducing music that is closer to the original performance.
The Perfect Match
All Z-Series speakers feature the same tweeter without any alterations. From the largest component speaker set to the smallest 2-way coaxial speaker, you will get the same tweeter to ensure perfect tonal balance throughout the car, regardless of the size of speakers required for the front and rear.
Open & smooth
Pioneerâs OPEN & SMOOTH sound concept ensures a seamless and smooth transition between the midrange and tweeter drivers, delivering a uniform off-axis frequency response. This design is optimized for automotive applications where one or more speakers are often aimed away from the listenersâ ears.
TwaronÂź Aramid Fiber + Cellulose Fiber
TwaronÂź is a synthetic aramid fiber that is very strong, heat-resistant, and rigid when woven into a cloth material. Cellulose fibers are naturally self-damping and reduce unwanted resonance. The speakerâs dual-layer cone, constructed with both a TwaronÂź layer and a cellulose layer, combines the strengths of both materials. The result is a fast response and clear bass, with low coloration and distortion.
Tweeter - Balanced Dome
The Z tweeterâs aluminum alloy diaphragm allows the tweeter to remain pistonic and linear at ultrasonic frequencies. The unique diaphragm shape, developed using HSDOM (Harmonized Synthetic Diaphragm Optimum Method) computer analysis, accurately controls differential vibration produced by the diaphragm and improves high frequency dispersion. Pioneerâs Vertex Drive System improves the mechanical coupling of the voice coil and the tweeter diaphragm, reducing distortion and coloration caused by low damping and increasing power handling.
Mounting Kit
More than any other speaker, the positioning and mounting location of the tweeter is crucial to the stereo imaging of the system and the overall listening experience. To ensure installation flexibility, the D component system tweeters are extremely compact and feature a unique swivel mount that allows precise aiming of high frequencies. Pioneerâs tri-position mounting kit (included) provides the flexibility to mount the tweeter using a variety of methods; flush mount, surface mount or bracket mount, especially important for concealing the tweeter behind an original equipment tweeter grille in the vehicle dash or door.
