Meridian and Land Rover release the
world’s first 3D in-car surround music
experience for The Range Rover
Meridian and Land Rover have released a choice of three audio systems
including the world’s first 3D surround system - for The Range Rover. The
fourth generation Range Rover is an evolution of an iconic design. With Land
Rover strength at its heart, the all-new model has been engineered from the
ground up to be the most capable, most refined Range Rover ever.
The top of the range is the Meridian Signature Reference System, a 1700Watts, 24-channel stereo/surround system driving 29 loudspeakers mounted
around the vehicle cabin, including roof mounted and personal seat-back
centre loudspeakers. The system incorporates Meridian Trifield 3D
technology to deliver a unique, personal and incredibly realistic experience
adding a three-dimensional sense of space.
“We are very proud to reveal the world’s first 3D in-car surround system, in
the pursuit of delivering the best ever engaging and personal music
performance for The Range Rover customers we developed exclusive
technologies to set together with Land Rover new standards for the in-car
audio industry” Bob Stuart said.
In addition to the Meridian Signature Reference System, customers can
choose between the Meridian Sound System, a 380-Watts, 12-channel
stereophonic system featuring 13 loudspeakers including a dual-channel

subwoofer, and the Meridian Surround Sound System, a 825-Watts, 16channel stereo/surround system driving 19 loudspeakers mounted around the
vehicle cabin, including co-axial tweeter/midrange drive units in the front
centre and rear surround parcel shelf locations. The system uses Meridian
Trifield technology, enabling the recreation of a concert-like experience for
every occupant.
