Our take on the Pioneer DEH-11E

Let's set the scene. Your factory stereo sounds lousy. You want to enjoy your regular store-bought and recordable CDs in the car, you want to listen to your iPod® or another portable while driving, and you don't want to drop a lot of your hard-earned cash on a new car stereo.

Pioneer understands, and that's why their DEH-11E receiver features a dependable CD player for spinning your favorite discs, plus a handy front-panel auxiliary input for your music player. One more bonus — the receiver includes Pioneer's SuperTuner IIID for exceptional AM/FM reception.

And it doesn't scrimp on the sound quality, either. The DEH-11E features the same hard-working amplifier that's used in Pioneer's top models, and you'll even find a 3-band equalizer for shaping the tone to match your taste.

Our Product Research Team

At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features

Overview: The Pioneer DEH-11E is an AM/FM/CD receiver with a front panel 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting portable devices such as a MP3 player.

CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the DEH-11E are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the DEH-11E are as follows:

  • CEA2006 Specs: 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
  • Continuous Power Output: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 50Hz-15kHz, 5% THD)
  • Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels

MOSFET Amplifier: The DEH-11E is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.

Disc Compatibility: The Pioneer DEH-11E supports playback of CD, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. This unit does not support playback of compressed music files such as MP3 or WMA.

Supertuner IIID AM/FM Tuner: The Supertuner IIID features Feed Forward Control, which avoids multi-path interference. This pre-detection of interference enables quick filter control and results in less distortion. In addition, the Supertuner IIID creates enhanced stereo during multi-path interference, unlike conventional tuners that collapse to mono. Digital processing reduces distortion, and improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio and stereo separation. Advanced analog technology improves signal processing sensitivity.

BSM (Best Stations Memory): The BSM (Best Stations Memory) function lets you automatically store the six strongest stations under preset buttons 1-6 of the currently tuned band. The tuner has 3 FM banks and 1 AM bank. You can store 6 presets for each bank giving you a total of 18 FM presets and 6 AM presets.

Local Tuning: Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong signals for good reception. There are 4 level of sensitivity for FM and two levels for AM. The higher settings allow reception of only the strongest stations, while lower settings let you receive progressively weaker stations.

EEQ (Easy EQ): The DEH-11E is equipped with a 3-band EQ with 6 preset EQ settings: Powerful, Dynamic, Vocal, Natural, Custom, and EQ Flat. The bands can be adjusted as follows:

  • Bass: +/- 6dB at 100 Hz
  • Mid: +/- 6dB at 1 kHz
  • Treble: +/- 6dB at 10 kHz

Loudness: The Loudness feature compensates for deficiencies in the low and high sound ranges at low volume. You can set the Loudness feature to High, Low, or Off.

Source Level Adjustment (SLA): This function lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources. Settings are based on the volume level of the FM tuner, which remains unchanged. Each source can be independently adjusted from -4dB to +4dB.

Auxiliary Input: The DEH-11E is equipped with a front panel 3.5mm stereo minijack auxiliary input for connecting external components, such as a portable MP3 player, DVD, or VCR. AUX must be turned on in the setup menu in order to be selected as a source.

2-Volt Preamp Output: The Pioneer DEH-11E features one pair of 2.0 volt preamp outputs (left/right) fixed to its rear chassis.

LED Display: The DEH-11E features a black background with a one-line, 8-character white Dot-Matrix OEL display.

Display Illumination/Clock Display: When the Clock Display has been turned on, pressing and holding the Source button turns off audio output, but the clock display remains on. When the Clock Display has been turned off, pressing and holding the source button turns the unit off completely. Even if you have turned the radio completely off you can view the clock display be pressing the clock button. The clock will then remain On until you turn it back Off. When the unit is On you can select between the clock display or the audio track/tuner display.

Detachable Face Security: This unit features Detachable Face Security. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired.

Note: No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (item # 142DFC1X) can be purchased for this unit.

Written By Zachary, Rockford, Michigan on Tuesday, December 15, 2009
 
I purchased this for its simpleness and low key looks. Its worked great, and I
really cant complain for the price of it. I had a Alpine CDA-9884 before this
and the sound quality isnt any worse or better. Would highly recommend for
someone looking for a simple design and an aux input.

Pretty good

Written By Brett, Hartford, CT on Thursday, July 16, 2009
 
This stereo works great and is visually not totally ostentatious. The instructions left out a couple key details, however, and glossed over some confusing steps, and although I made it work, it didn't quite fit in my car like they said it would. In summary, the stereo is great but Crutchfield's instructions weren't quite what I had hoped.

Great Unit for the Price

Written By Scott, PA on Wednesday, July 15, 2009
 
Excellent stereo for the price. Installed in a '99 Cavalier. Only issue is that with the supplied kit, it interferes with the cup holder.

Had to Read the Manual

Written By sternerp, Sacramento, CA on Tuesday, June 23, 2009
 
It isn't the most intuitive stereo I've used, but after a few seconds scanning the manual I had it figured out. The midrange adjustment really helped me get the best possible sound out of my speakers. I was very impressed. I am also very impressed with Crutchfield's service. The web site is incredibly informative, and helped me pick the right equipment and wiring harness for my car. This is my second purchase from them, and I know that I'll be back in the future.

Superior product at this price point

Written By Steve, Massachusetts on Monday, May 25, 2009
 
I recently installed this unit in a 94 Ford Ranger and I must say that I am very pleased with this product. One of my pet peeves has always been the quality of buttons and knobs. Some products just have a cheap and flimsy feel, but this receiver's buttons and knobs feel tight and precise. I also love the simplicity of the DEH-11E's clean design which I find is very aesthetically pleasing. My only gripe with this unit is with the position of the up and down buttons which are located very close to the volume knob... feels a bit awkward, but this is only a minor complaint. Mp3 playback would have been nice but for the price point I can't complain. Plus, you can always connect an I-Pod or other mp3 device to the AUX port which is conveniently located on the faceplate in order to play your mp3's. I found the sound quality to be excellent as well... powerful, warm and clean. Purchase this product with confidence, especially when buying from Crutchfield which, in my opinion, provides some of the best customer service and product support in the industry!

Amazing performance for a sub $100 deck!

Written By James, Staten Island NY on Wednesday, May 20, 2009
 
I had a JVC HD-R1 receiver in my car for 3 years until I grew tired of it. Wanted a no frills great sounding deck to replace it. For the same price of the no name junk this is a nice machine. Radio is the clearest I've heard and the CD (no MP3 which is fine as MP3 is not HI-FI) is clean and clear with no skips or abnormalities. On board amplifier easily drives my 4 Sony X-Plodes to ear splitting levels. I'm happy with it!

good bang for the buck

Written By Scott, Mesa, AZ on Sunday, April 05, 2009
 
this unit is a really good stereo for the price. I've always had good luck,
and been happy with Pioneer equipment. This stereo is no exception. The
only complaint I have with this stereo is the combo function/volume knob.
It's very easy to accidently change functions when adjusting the volume.
Other than that it's a great sounding stereo, even through the factory
speakers.
