You enjoy the convenience of listening to music from your mp3 player in the car, but it will never compare to the experience of listening to a live orchestra in the "sweet spot" seats, or even to the fidelity of a vinyl record.

...Or will it?

Lincoln and Revel have teamed up to push the limits of the vehicle as a sound room.

With human ingenuity, anything is possible, and the Revel Ultima sound system available on the new Lincoln MKX may have done it.

Revel sound specialist and self-proclaimed audiophile Kevin Voecks explains how Revel has developed an entirely new mathematical approach to creating, and placing speakers in the cabin.

They utilize something called point-source architecture, to create a definite sense of space, and to ensure that every note reaches your ear at precisely the right moment.

Just like the good seats in a concert hall will offer you the best acoustic blend.

To make the best use of these innovative speakers, one needs to have a quality audio file. Unfortunately, the music in your iPod has been compressed. Compared to live music, or a vinyl LP, it has lost dimension.

Clari-Fi software reads and analyzes your compressed files to restore highs and lows, and remove distortions, to restore even compressed music to live quality.

Check it out for yourself, at Gurley-Leep Ford Lincoln. When you test drive a new vehicle, be sure to ask for one with the Revel Ultima package.
