XAV-AX1000

The Sony AX1000 is the entry level in-dash audiovisual system to beat. It ticks all the necessary boxes and, arguably, none of the non-essential superfluities. It all starts with a large 157mm touchscreen display, which provides effortless control of the intuitive graphic user interface. Best of all, and unlike many units several times it’s price, you get a proper analogue rotary dial for volume control. This too often overlooked feature is an ergonomic must, and a damn sight better than smashing buttons every time you want to adjust the volume up or down.

Apple CarPlay tops the list of must-have features for a contemporary automotive A/V source, and is supported by the XAV-AX1000. Hard wired USB connection is provided for mobile devices and enables best feature support as well as charging on the go, however Bluetooth is also provided for additional connectivity, flexibility and convenience. Accessing your favourite songs using Apple Music, Spotify or your favourite apps is simple and straightforward.

By connecting your phone to the Sony XAV-AX1000 the navigation, communication, and all your music is right there in the dash at your command. Intelligent voice control also allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. In terms of safety, having the ability to speak commands to your phone rather than fumbling with the handset to open a navigation app, take a note, send a text or initiate a phonecall is something no one should be without.

The Sony XAV-XA1000 also provides expansive preamp features to allow both basic and expert control over your sound stage and listening experience with a full complement of active high and low pass filters as well as a sophisticated 10-band graphic equalizer and clever Dynamic Stage Organiser. Amplification duties are taken care of by a powerful inbuilt 4 channel amplifier capable of delivering a clean 20-Watts RMS or up to 55-Watts peak of power to each speaker. Strong 2-Volt RCA pre-outs are provided for front, rear and subwoofer channels, allowing you to incorporate a powered subwoofer or even a full complement of discretely powered channels.

Expandability doesn’t stop there either. Sony have also included provision for integration of a rear-view camera.

Apple CarPlay makes driving smarter

Use all your essential iPhone functions on the road, with Apple CarPlay. Connect your phone via cable, and you’ll see a familiar interface displayed clearly on screen. Tap the icons to take calls, check voicemails and text messages, or bring up maps. And of course, listen to your favourite songs using iTunes, Apple Music or installed apps. Apple CarPlay even lets you talk to Siri to control everything using voice commands. You can dictate text messages, control music playback or get directions, without ever taking your eyes off the road.

Effortless control at your fingertips

A large 152mm touchscreen provides intuitive control over music playback and smartphone functions. It delivers vivid colours in a wide range of lighting conditions and provides clean and easy to navigate interface for all your favourite features and functions.

BLUETOOTH wireless technology

Wireless integration of your mobile devices has never been more convenient. Make hands-free calls and stream wireless audio from your smartphone, with the seamless simplicity of Bluetooth technology.

Rear view camera ready

Got a rear camera installed? View its feed through the screen, along with customisable guidelines that help you back in safely.

Easy installation with a compact rear chassis

Despite its double-DIN display, the rear chassis is far smaller than conventional double-DIN units. This makes for much easier installation, and leaves plenty of room for cabling and other accessories in the space behind the display.

Quick wake up

With activation two and a half times faster than previous models, you're ready to go right after turning on the ignition.

Dynamic Stage Organiser creates virtual speakers on your dashboard

Sound waves are directional, especially in the higher frequencies - so if your speakers are positioned low in your doors, high frequency sounds are often lost, reducing clarity and instrument separation. Dynamic Stage Organiser uses digital signal processing to lift the sound, improving stereo positioning so music sounds like it's coming from right in front of you.

No more rapid fire on physical or virtual buttons

A beautifully ergonomic multi-function rotary dial provides effortless and distraction-free operation of top level control functions like volume and menu navigation. Hold the button for quick and intuitive access to voice commands.

4 x 20-Watts RMS of raw power from just one chip

Sony's Dynamic Reality Amp 2 is engineered to deliver the maximum amount of power that is possible without the added complexity and expense of a power inverter to step up the vehicles supply voltage. This delivers benchmark setting power without compromising on form factor, reliability or cost.

Three pre-outs let you expand your sound system

The XAV-AX1000 features a full complement of analog RCA signal pre-outs, allowing you to pass signal onto a dedicated amplifier and subwoofer or more comprensive multi-channel amplifier(s) to power your entire speaker array. Strong 2-Volt signals on these outputs aids with noise rejection and ensures you have ample signal for longer cable runs.

FLAC compatible

Storage space came at somewhat of a premium back when digital music codecs like mp3, wma, aiff and the like were developed, while today we measure our space space in gigs rather than megs. Accordingly, gone are the days when convenient portable digital audio and audio compression went hand-in-hand. XAV-AX1000 supports playback of ultra high-resolution FLAC audio files, allowing you to hear all your favourite tracks in superior lossless detail.
