Assessing car value for a good number of people entails popping the hood and listening to the engine rev as well as other aesthetic features all over the vehicle. For another set of individuals, the car search is more like a search for a mobile boom box.
Convention teaches us to think outside the box, Revel under Harman has torn the box apart put it back together in a completely different way. In the normal set up of a vehicular sound system, there are around six or eight speakers and a subwoofer. Revel set up 19 – yes, you read that right – speakers coupled to two amplifiers in the Lincoln MKX.
Revel, though not a readily recognized name, is good at what they do. The hybrid amplifier installed in the MKX was designed to comfortably provide high clarity for high frequencies and power at the other end of the audio spectrum. To the table Harman brings software technology like Clari-Fi that enhances streams of low quality and QuantumLogic Surround that transports your auditory nerves to a movie theatre like mode.
Audiophiles are sure rub their hands with glee at the prospect of a sound where the highs are succinctly clear and distinct with rich mids and the lows are powerful enough to be felt but do not jar you. Details are unprecedentedly clear at low volumes making for a great sound experience. In case you are on a car search, check out the Lincoln MKX (the first to get these Revel features) if not only to get a taste of this ethereal sound.
