Pioneer was founded in 1938 as a speaker manufacturer and we have focusedon high quality sound ever since. Our consumer speakers and sub-brand TAD
Labs’ professional systems have delivered clear, powerful sound reproduction
to generations of music lovers, theatregoers and producers all over the world.

DEVELOPMENT TEAM
Gary Stewart and Gary Stewart Audio
We wanted to team up with a boutique sound genius to complement our R&D
expertise and scale. So we established a partnership with the late, legendary Gary
Stewart of Gary Stewart Audio (GSA), whose sound systems have moved clubbers allover the world for decades.

Pioneer’s Alex Barrand
Veteran sound engineer Alex Barrand led the development of the Pioneer flagship club
system. Barrand’s experience includes updating Ministry of Sound London’s soundsystem in 2008, a project that won IDMA Best Club Sound System Design awards forfour consecutive years.

Powered by Powersoft
The Pioneer Pro Audio team selected Powersoft K-Series DSP amplifiers with Armonía
Pro Audio Suite™ software to power the new club system. The compact Powersoft
K-Series combines industry leading energy efficiency, high power output, andadvanced technologies for functionality and ease-of-use.

Pioneer DJ professional equipment has long been the lifeblood of DJ booths
in Ibiza and around the world. We decided to combine Pioneer’s heritage ofsound reproduction with Pioneer DJ’s unrivalled expertise in the dance musicindustry to offer a 360-degree club solution.

Our flagship club speaker system reproduces a sensory bass and a low to
mid range that delivers a tight kick. This is balanced with a crystal clear highfrequency response with wide dispersion. The result is the ultimate club
speaker system, providing clubbers with a powerful, warm and immersive
sound that galvanises the body to dance - without overwhelming the senses.

case study: Booom! ibiza

Ushuaïa Tower chooses a Pioneer
Pro Audio sound system for its
prestigious presidential suite.

Booom! Ibiza specifies a bespoke
Pioneer club sound system to takethe island by storm.

Ibiza’s five-star party hotel Ushuaïa Tower
needed a new sound system for its
opulent, state-of-the-art, I’m On Top Of
The World presidential suite. With guests
able to book international DJs to performin the suite, it needed a club-quality soundsystem with a powerful, deep bass – butwhere guests could talk comfortably too.
Working closely with the Ushuaïa teamof architects and designers, Pioneer Pro
Audio created a sound system that fitted
this stylish, high-tech vision and looked
as good as it sounded. The resulting
speaker configuration comprised four
Pioneer Pro Audio XY-81 8-inch two-way
PA speakers and one XY-118 reflex loaded
18-inch subwoofer. An additional 8-inch
PA monitor speaker was installed in the
DJ booth.
The trapezoid shape of the 8-inch
speakers meant they could be mounted
close to the ceiling, horizontally, to keep
the clean lines of the room. The system is
powered by two Powersoft K3 amplifierswith inbuilt DSP and Pioneer pre-setsloaded. Barrand used Smaart softwarefrom Rational Accoustics to time align thesystem perfectly to the room.
To complement the suite’s contemporary
design, all the speakers were custommade in classic white and mounted using
brackets provided by Pioneer Pro Audio.
“The system is fit for a club; it delivers aclean, deep sound that’s comfortable
and warm at the same time. DJs are very
happy to play here because it is such aunique place with the best equipment,
and guests have given us amazing
feedback. We wanted to take guests toanother dimension in terms of lifestyleand technology, and Pioneer Pro Audio
have helped us achieve that.”
Danny Gomez, brand ambassador
for Ushuaïa, Palladium Hotel Group

Ibiza’s hottest new club, Booom! Ibiza,
was looking for a bespoke club soundsystem to epitomise the venue’s ethosof high quality and excellent service.
Booom wanted a powerful system with
an immersive sound that would enablepeople to dance all night and holdcomfortable conversations.
Having been “blown away” by the system
at demonstration in Tokyo, the teamcommissioned Pioneer Pro Audio todesign and install the system for the entire
club: the dancefloor, DJ booth, bars and
VIP areas.
Pioneer’s Alex Barrand worked with
Booom and local installers The Shop to
design a bespoke sound system to deliver
best-in-class sound. The team installed
four three-metre-high GS-WAVE stacks ineach corner of the dancefloor.

The stacks are balanced by the XY Series
in-fill speakers, including four XY-122
12-inch monitors and a pair of XY-215S
15-inch quasi-bandpass subwoofers in the
DJ booth. In-fill is supplied across the club
by a further thirty-nine XY-122 speakers,
ten XY-81 8-inch ultra compact loudspeakers, and fifteen XY-118S 18-inch bassreflex subwoofers.
The whole system is powered byPowersoft K-Series amplifiers – seven K-6s,
eleven K-2s and twenty-four K-3s – allwith inbuilt DSP and Pioneer pre-sets.
“There are some great sound systems out
there. But I actually think Pioneer havemade a better one: they’ve brought backa warmer, bassier sound, which gives
you a hug rather than slapping you in theface. It’s probably the best sound systemin the world.”
Giuseppe Cipriani, owner,
Booom! Ibiza
