XAV-9500ES Key Features – Exceptional In-Car Audio and Visual Experience

Everything in View

Experience superior clarity and operation with the XAV-9500ES 10.1-inch HD LCD display, now featuring a gapless optical bonding design. This cutting-edge panel reduces internal reflection and enhances touch response, delivering class-leading image quality while making on-road operation easier and safer.

Gapless Anti-Glare Capacitive Touchscreen

The display panel is optically bonded—the protective glass is seamlessly fused to the LCD using a transparent adhesive. This results in high contrast, reduced glare, and accurate touch sensitivity, ensuring a smooth and immersive visual experience under any lighting condition.

Easy Mounting and Adjustment

Engineered with a sturdy, single-DIN compatible mounting system, the receiver fits a wide range of vehicles. Its four-way adjustable structure allows you to fine-tune the display’s height, depth, tilt, and angle—ensuring optimal positioning for any dashboard layout.

From signal path to speaker, every detail is designed to preserve musical integrity.

Choices for Optimum Performance

Premium internal components elevate the audio experience. A dedicated choke coil enhances bass performance and filters noise, audiophile-grade capacitors deliver clean power for clarity, and multi-layer polymer capacitors reduce harmonic distortion—ensuring balanced, natural sound across all frequencies.

Engineered for Ultimate Listening Pleasure—ESS Digital-to-Analog Converter

Experience high-end audio quality in your vehicle, thanks to the premium 32-bit ESS DAC chip. With ultra-low harmonic distortion, high dynamic range, and jitter elimination, this component transforms your digital audio into pristine analog sound—perfectly suited for High-Resolution music playback.

Anti-Resonance Dual-Layer Chassis

The receiver’s dual-layer chassis design effectively separates the analog and digital circuitry to prevent electromagnetic interference and cross-talk between components. This thoughtful engineering results in a much cleaner audio signal and a more refined, detailed overall sound quality, even at higher volumes, ensuring an immersive and distortion-free listening experience in any environment.
