Ground-breaking. Revolutionary. Genre-defining. Just three of the delightful words that summarise how Pioneer feel about the brand spanking new SPH-EVO62DAB head unit that’s here to change the game for in car entertainment in 2019.
Literally a whole new concept for those seeking automotive entertainment on the move, the SPH-EVO62DAB is here to change perceptions of what’s possible with in-car audio.
Hyperbole to one side, the 6.8-inch SPH-EVO62DAB-UNI is a whole new concept for Pioneer UK allowing the fitment of a double DIN unit where once it was impossible. The modular construction of the unit allows it to be adjusted in depth to ease installation of this floating or tablet style head unit.
With a whooping 6.8inch resistive touchscreen display with a hideaway control unit that installers can tuck into separate compartments of any automobile, almost any vehicle ever made can now benefit from a Double DIN screen, providing vehicles with limited dash space a premium upgrade solution for every possible entertainment need.
Smartphone connectivity is now the key to a head unit that remains both socially acceptable and functional, so Pioneer has built in both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for perfect on-the-move entertainment, navigation and social connectivity, no matter what’s going on with the road ahead.
Thanks to built-in Spotify, Waze, Bluetooth connectivity for up to two phones and streaming ability for almost unlimited online accessible content, you’ll never be left wanting more music or movies than the SPH EVO can deliver.
Sound quality, an element of audio that Pioneer is renowned for, is catered for comprehensively. With specially selected audiophile-grade components loaded into the separate control unit, this is one head unit that’s set to ignite the market and prove that big audio dynamite is still exciting and inspiring.
A 13-band GEQ, Auto Time alignment and Auto EQ comes as standard across the board (operational via an optional microphone), while low and high pass frequency filters are also built into the audio of the unit with a trio of 4v high voltage pre-outs to allow for further system expansion with external amplifiers.
It really is the modular nature of the unit that makes it so innovative, with flexible mounting options presenting themselves to back up the enticing blend of audio and entertainment nirvana. Such progressive design is to be expected from Pioneer as it throws the rule book of convention to one side.
By approaching the conundrum of Single and Double DIN design from a totally different angle, this latest head unit is to break the rules and be found in every sort of car from the 1960s onwards, particularly as the display screen can be mounted almost anywhere using the optional 1.5m cable.
This relentless pursuit for perfection from Pioneer ensures that the SPH-EVO range will be a hit for 2019. If the improved GUI, amazing audio playback – it can deal with WMA, WAV, MP3, AAC and FLAC files as well as DAB+ radio stations, don’t sell it then the handsfree calling, WebLink phone mirroring and 4x50w internal amplifier certainly should.
If riotous sound and enthralling entertainment are high on the agenda, then the SPH-EVO62DAB could be the future proof head unit to conquer all.
Available in ‘UNI’ form to fit almost any car and in fixed or ‘floating dash’ forms, this head unit is a genuine gamechanger.
