Join rapper, composer, producer, actor and filmmaker RZA on a multisensory tour of Escalade Platinum as we celebrate Black Music Month. Never stop arriving with next-level technology, such as the Cadillac-exclusive AKG† sound system and more.
The AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker sound system is standard on Escalade Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum trims, and available on Premium Luxury and Sport trims.
With high-fidelity, studio-quality audio pumping from the AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker sound system, there’s nothing lost in translation from mixing board to driver’s seat. Audiophiles, rejoice.
Nearly three decades after recording his landmark album on an AKG microphone, RZA finds himself immersed in the auditory mastery of the AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker sound system—standard in Escalade Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum.
Coincidence? Perhaps. We like to think of it as perfect harmony.
The AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker sound system is standard on Escalade Premium Luxury Platinum and Sport Platinum trims, and available on Premium Luxury and Sport trims.
Let’s break down the AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker sound system.
Three amps. Six woofers. Speakers in the ceiling. In the headrest. Even in the center console. That’s 360-degree total sonic euphoria. Or as RZA ruminates: “It’s the equivalent of a 1-inch punch from a Shaolin monk arriving at your eardrum.”
Even with a vision in your mind, the journey ahead isn’t always clear. We all need a little guidance to help stay the course.
Inside the Escalade, guidance takes the form of an augmented-reality navigation system† with spatial audio cues piped through the speakers. Lose yourself in the dream. But find yourself at your destination—and never stop arriving.
With the proper outlook, there’s virtually no limit to where your ambitions can take you. Especially when your outlook consists of an industry-first curved OLED screen with 38 inches of total diagonal display.
Trace along this sweeping vista. From the touchscreen control panel on your left to the configurable cluster display in the center to the touchscreen infotainment display on your right. The world is at your fingertips. What you do with that power is up to you.
Attaining your goals requires meticulous planning. Strategizing. The ability to think five steps ahead of those around you.
In other words, you need to be a lot like Escalade with available Super Cruise,TM† the first hands-free driver assistance feature for compatible roads. An advanced system of real-time cameras, sensors and GPS helps to confidently keep you on the path to arrival.
“How do you evolve? You look at where you came from. You look at where you’re at, and you envision where you want to go.” – RZA
