How much attention do you spend on the in-car audio system when you buy a new car? Nowadays a lot of brands offer a lot of options. The days of OEM speakers and dito systems are almost over. Most of the hi-fi brands that are active in the car audio industry as well, partner up with car brands to offer custom and/of tailor made solutions. The one is more basic then the other is more immersive. The McIntosh MX1375 Reference Car Entertainment System is available in the following vehicles: 2022 Grand Wagoneer, 2022 Wagoneer, 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Let’s take a trip with the 2022 Grand Wagoneer.

The MX1375 features a 24-channel amplifier that delivers up to 1375 Watts of power, along with 23 speakers in 16 optimized locations and a 12″ Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer. It also includes our Low Distortion/High Performance (LD/HP) and Power Guard technologies, plus Adaptive 3D Surround Processing. All of these features combine to deliver precision sound through every inch of the vehicle. The McIntosh MX1375 system in the 2022 Grand Wagoneer offer crisp, high-quality sonic reproduction with low distortion and rapid response. Every seat is its own sweet spot with finely-tuned bass so all passengers feel like they are in the middle of the performance.

Immersive listening experience

 Exclusive to the MX1375 Reference Entertainment System is unique Adaptive 3D Surround Processing capabilities. This innovative technology uses algorithms to adapt to the source material in order to apply the appropriate level of 3D effect. It monitors the natural reverb of the incoming audio signal, and then adds just the right amount of reverb effect only to signals that need it. 3D Adaptive Surround Processing creates a customized and realistic sense of space for an immersive listening experience that doesn’t just sound amazing, but emotionally transports you to the performance.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
