Pioneer Sound Wing speakers
The new Sound Wing speakers avoid the common bulky footprint of a traditional loudspeaker thanks to Pioneer’s brand new Horizontal-Vertical-Transforming’ (HVT) technology.
Unlike a traditional speaker, Pioneer has moved the speaker driving force from underneath the cone to the side (working at 90⁰), reducing the depth normally occupied by the magnets. The capacity to generate multi-directional sound comes from Pioneer placing two of these speakers back to back.
For consumers, having a speaker capable of delivering multi-directional sound, instantly increases the listening sweet spot, as well as providing greater flexibility with installation.

Whilst the directional sound from conventional speakers generally limits where the speaker can be positioned in a room, Pioneer’s Sound Wing speakers cater for a wider ‘sweet spot’, meaning more people can enjoy a full sound experience.
Pioneer is releasing its Sound Wing speakers in two form factors; a sleek bar-style multi-speaker (S-HV600B) and the super-slim satellite speakers (S-HV500LR).
Both the speaker S-HV600B and S-HV500LR will not be available for individual purchase. Pioneer is packaging each Sound Wing speaker with its new slim series AV receiver, the VSX-S300.
The elegantly sleek bar-style speaker S-HV600B
Perfectly designed to sit in front or underneath flat screen TV, the new S-HV600B is just 25.5 mm thick, and the dimensions are 900 x 66 x 93 mm, with the stand included. It integrates two 57 x 30 mm double sided drivers with HVT technology, and two Softdome tweeters – one set pointing forwards and one set backwards – at either side of the wing.
The super-slim satellite-style speakers S-HV500LR
The discrete satellite speakers are very compact, and only 37 mm thick. With total dimensions – the foot not included – of 207 x 91 x 37 mm, they will easily blend into the interior. Equipped with 57 x 30 mm double sided drivers with HVT technology and a Softdome tweeter on both sides, the sound is rich for such a small package. They come with a chrome finishing base.
The HTP-SLH500 and HTP-SLH600 will be available from September.
