Go 5.1 with the 2009 Lincoln MKS. Building upon the success of the THX II Certified Audio system, Lincoln and THX are pleased to introduce the next-generation THX Certified system featuring discrete 5.1 surround sound. This latest innovation brings the surround sound experience from the home theater to the driver and passengers on board.

The THX II Certified 5.1 Surround system sports a twelve-channel amplifier that delivers 600 watts of power to sixteen speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer. Bundled with DVD-based navigation in the Lincoln MKS, the system decodes and plays multi-channel audio from DVD movies, DVD-audio discs, MP3s, Satellite Radio and CDs.

THX Technologies

The THX II Certified Audio systems all feature the THX Configurable Speaker Array (CSA) and THX Slot Speaker technologies located in the center of the vehicle dashboard. The THX CSA is comprised of several small, powerful speakers, and uses dedicated amplifiers and THX digital signal processing (DSP) to widen the sound image before precisely distributing it throughout the car’s interior.

Almost invisible to the eye, the THX CSA and THX Slot Speaker allow for better control and directivity of the sound image, delivering a spacious sound stage throughout the vehicle cabin. The result? Music on CDs and MP3 files feel natural, like you are listening to the live performance or recording session.
