D.C.A.C. EX with stereo mic is Sony’s unique auto calibration technology. This technology balances output to closely 
simulate sound as would be produced by optimally positioned and angled speakers. The results are nothing short of

Every detail from the electronic component selection, to special 2nd generation ES solder, structural/chassis elements, 
and even screw placement has been scrutinized and tuned in the higher interest of reliably consistent sound 
performance. The STR-ZA810ES offers improved structural stability for better sound via the analogue signal path. This circuit 
is located on a glass epoxy board, in order to achieve higher speed and power.

Dispersing the load between three DSPs allow the realization of clarity and realistic ambience by reducing noise
