Been here awhile...
Just saw that Harman Kardon has updated their info on the Lexicon system for the Equus as follows:
http://www.harman.com/EN-US/OurProducts/Car/Pages/LexiconandHyundaiEquus.aspx
HARMAN's Lexicon brand is continuing a relationship begun with the Hyundai Genesis sedan by providing the premium Lexicon Discrete LOGIC7 Surround-Sound Audio System for the 2011 Hyundai Equus.
With its supremely quiet interior, the Equus provides an ideal platform for the Lexicon Discrete-Surround Audio System. The Lexicon system delivers exceptional realism, clarity and musicality – music as the original artist intended it to be heard. In fact, the majority of all broadcast, film-soundtrack and music recordings rely on Lexicon technology for encoding and signal processing. HARMAN's involvement in both audio production and playback is unique in the industry, and this synergy underlines Lexicon's authenticity as a true premium professional audio partner.
The Equus system employs a 13-channel amplifier to deliver over 600 watts to 17 transducers in a 7.1-channel surround-sound playback architecture. Lexicon’s proprietary and award-winning LOGIC7 processing technology creates surround-sound fullness and clarity from any media source, including two-channel radio and music recordings. Since the Equus may be chauffeur-driven in some parts of the world, rear-seat passengers received particular attention. For example, the rear-door-mounted side-channel transducers are engineered to enrich the sonic image for a more refined aural experience.
HARMAN's Automotive Division also provides the 40GB hard-drive navigation and personal entertainment systems in the Equus, including the central control panel (CCP) driver interface. Fully integrated iPod® and USB connectivity, as well as comprehensive Bluetooth® capability are also part of this infotainment system.
Does that last paragraph mean that they're going to enable music storage and playback from the hard drive, I wonder?
