Pioneer Premier same as Normal???

[hollowpoint 10+ year member]

I was just doing a comparison on the Pioneer DEH-P3900MP vs. Pioneer Premier DEH-P390MP. The comparison between both were exactly the same. I was told before that the Premier has more options and features. Is that true? If so what are the advantages? There the same price at sonicelectronix and by human nature youll go with the premier with this case but what makes them different?

One difference of that particular model (390 vs 3900) is that the Premiere has a built in two-way crossover with direct subwoofer key

Also, Premier factory warranty is 2 years while Pioneer is only 1. They must be built better?

I don't know. I've never had a problem with Pioneer. Great company.

hmmm Yeah Ive heard good things abot Pioneer but they were the same price which made me wonder what was so different. Could you explain just how the two-way crossover with direct subwoofer key exactly does. I think I know but now not totally sure.

Its a built in high pass filter, and full subwoofer control.

Premiers carry a better warranty and will more often than not have a higher RCA preamp output voltage than their 'regular' Pioneer counterparts.

Only differences I could find from comparing features were slight cosmetic differences (color of outer trim) and the Premier featuring a 2-year warranty.

According to the "specifications" page, they both offer identical crossovers and preamp voltage/impedance.

Like prowler said, the difference between similar models is usually pre-out voltage and double the warranty.

OK, cool, last question, how will the pre-out voltage help in or be better between the two? Thanks for the help

Higher the voltage the more efficient your amp is going to be and the better sound you will get from not having to crank your amp up

OK cool pretty much what I was thinking...In conclusion would the premier be a good starter headunit for someone?

the Premeir models also have the 24 bitt Burr Brown D/A

converters in them...

Burr Browns produce much better SQ than the standard D/A's

I dont see why, just trying to understand everything, but whatever

hey where you at in jersey?

Northern Hunterdon county area

I dont know what the 24 bitt Burr Brown D/A does but if it makes better SQ than thats even better. Is the 24 bitt like bit rate with songs but the processor in the headunit?
