PRESS RELEASE

Meridian and Land Rover Announce Two State-of-the-

Art Systems for the All-New Range Rover Sport

Meridian and Land Rover have developed a choice of two audio systems, including the
Meridian Signature Reference System which incorporates Meridian Trifield 3D surround
technology – a world first for in-car technology.

The all-new Range Rover Sport is Land Rover's fastest, most responsive and agile
vehicle to date, offering an unrivalled breadth of capability. Over 4000 hours of research
went into the development of the vehicle’s audio systems, ensuring authenticity of
sound – a hallmark of all Meridian systems.

As top of the range, the 1700W Meridian Signature Reference System drives 23
speakers positioned strategically throughout the vehicle cabin, including height speakers
located in the roof lining. Trifield 3D technology is also incorporated, enabling
performances to be rendered in true scale and location for an authentic, personal and
consistent musical experience for all passengers.

Meridian’s Automotive Programme Manager, Graham Landick, commented “Whether
you’re in the driving position or one of the passengers, you feel as if you are at the
concert – you’re part of the performance. That’s what makes the hairs on the back of the
neck stand up. It’s about the passion and believability of the performance, and that’s
what we deliver in the Range Rover Sport.”

In addition, customers can opt for the 825W Meridian Surround Sound System which
features 19 speakers located throughout the vehicle. The system uses Trifield
technology to expand the sense of space within the cabin, with performances optimised
for all seating positions.

The all-new Range Rover Sport is the latest addition to the new Range Rover family of
vehicles and the third Range Rover model to be launched in two years. It follows the
launch of the acclaimed Range Rover Evoque in 2011 and the peerless all-new Range
Rover in 2012, which are also available with a choice of Meridian systems. Each

system
features state-of-the-art amplifiers which incorporate Meridian’s latest digital
processing technolog y t o ens ur e perfectly optimised sound quality, along with
Meridian high-eff ic iency speakers for exceptional clar ity and dynamics.
