The audio system boasts 435 watts of power through a total of 10 speakers, comprising titanium dome tweeters, an array of 6.7-inch Super Dynamic Range mid-range and bass drivers, and a downward-firing 8-inch diameter subwoofer with its own 100-watt PWM amplifier that extends the system frequency response down to 16 Hz.
"The goal of the ELS system in the Acura is to provide the listener with the excitement and emotional impact of actually being in a studio," said Gary Evert, chief engineer and Acura ZDX project leader. "Elliot brings his extensive professional studio recording experience to help create the most involving and musical sounding experience that you could ever find in an automotive premium audio system."
"Creating a new, custom-tuned premium audio system for such a beautiful vehicle as the ZDX is always an opportunity," said Elliot Scheiner, collaborator on Panasonic's ELS Surround Premium Audio System. "It's the same feeling that I get when I work with a new musician in the studio. The ELS system is now available on the TL, TSX, RDX and MDX, and I approached each system as I would a different musical artist."
"The ELS system for the ZDX involved hours spent listening, tuning, driving on the test track and retuning, using as many music sound sources as possible. When I finally heard the finished production system, I was thrilled that we were really able to bring the studio experience into the ZDX at what I feel is the highest musical level possible."
