SUBPAC and JLR Partner to Bring A New Dimension of Sound to Range Rover

High-fidelity tactile audio company, SUBPAC, teamed up with Jaguar Land-Rover (JLR) to improve the in-vehicle audio experience in the new Range Rover Sport SV Edition One system. The tactile experience was added to the Body and Soul Seat (BASS), which delivers audio vibrations allowing front-seat occupants to actually feel the music. According to the companies, this new approach to sound in-vehicle comes complete with wellness benefits, too, setting a new standard in immersive audio.

For the past 10 years, Meridian Audio designed the audio systems for Range Rover vehicles. The brand-new 2022 Range Rover delivers peerless refinement and luxury, featuring 3 new levels of audio performance from Meridian plus a unique Tailgate Event Suite for musical enjoyment outside the vehicle. The 3 Meridian audio systems offered in the new Range Rovers are the Meridian Signature System, Meridian 3D Surround Sound and Meridian Sound System.

Jaguar Land Rover has revealed that it will start including Active Road Noise Cancellation technology from Silentium to remove unwanted road and tyre sounds from the cabin and provide a quieter and more refined experience for drivers and passengers. The technology, introduced on the new Jaguar F-PACE, new Jaguar XF and Range Rover Velar models, is capable of lowering unwanted noise peaks by 10dB and overall noise levels by 3-4dB – the equivalent of turning down the in-car sound system by four ‘steps’.
