About ELS Studio 3D™ Premium Audio
Equipped with four Highline™ overhead speakers, the Acura ELS Studio 3D premium audio system adds a vertical characteristic that produces an immersive three-dimensional sound image. This mid-air suspended sound image reduces audio disruption produced by the secondary cabin reflections evident in traditional systems. The Super Dynamic Range (SDR) speakers throughout the cabin aid in reducing distortion, boasting an extended range to reduce saturation while the extended frequency and enhanced transparency of the 40mm Hybrid Titanium Dome Tweeters provide precise vocal reproduction.
The ELS Studio 3D premium audio system directs sound to specific areas of the cabin through multi-zone audio capabilities that surpass the directional capacity of traditional systems. The DSP multi-channel amplifier is equipped with Panasonic’s proprietary Acoustic Motion Control™ technology that allows individual speakers to be independently optimized for ideal performance. The 2019 Acura RDX ELS Studio premium audio system is offered in two configurations: ELS Studio (Technology Package) with 12 speakers, 12 channels, 550 watts; and ELS Studio 3D (A-Spec and Advanced Package) with 16 speakers, 16 channels, 710 watts.
