THX Audio System in 2011 Lincoln MKX Rocks the Competition With Quality, Capabilities and Value
With More Connectivity Features, Advanced Technology and Pristine Sound Reproduction, THX and Lincoln are Defining How Music Should Be Experienced
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 -- The THX® II Certified Audio system in the new 2011 Lincoln MKX crossover SUV rivals all others with exclusive technology, sound quality and value. Offered as an available feature, the technology-rich THX II Certified system is only $995, a fraction of the price of other premium audio brands.
With most car audio systems, surround sound is restricted to a handful of hard-to-find, DVD-Audio titles. The THX II Certified system, featuring DTS Neural Surround®, lets audiophiles rock-out with immersive 5.1 surround sound from hundreds of radio stations, including many HD Radio(TM) broadcasts. Even MP3s and other stereo music tracks can be up-mixed to surround sound with a push of the button.
Featuring a wide range of connectivity options and advanced technologies, the THX II Certified system puts other luxury automakers to shame. CDs deliver uncompressed music that mirrors the recording studio, and USB-connectivity brings your MP3 player's digital music library to life--accessible using the exclusive MyLincoln Touch(TM) interface.
And, only Lincoln features a "THX Demo Button," giving driver and passengers the legendary THX Deep Note(TM) "OoommMMM" cinematic sound--anytime, anywhere. Turn it up. We dare you.
The THX II Certified Audio system is powered by 600 watts and 14 strategically positioned speakers, including an 8-inch subwoofer system and 12-channel DSP controlled amplifier. A center-channel THX Slot Speaker(TM) array, featured on the MKX dashboard, produces a wide, spacious sound stage and home theater-like ambience. The quiet acoustics of the Lincoln MKX cabin minimizes road noise and brings out every nuance of your favorite music.
