Lexus has always been very particular about the sound quality inside their vehicles: from the solid thump of a closing door to the low growl of a turning engine. The audio system is also one of the showcases of technological advancement in any Lexus automobile. The audio system in the new LS 460 offers a new dimension in audio experience. Lexus has teamed up with renowned hi-fi experts Mark Levinson to create the LS 460’s new Reference Sound Audio System, an enhancement of the original Premium Sound Audio System. The trademark quietness of the Lexus vehicle’s interior space is the perfect environment for the excellent sound reproduction of this audio system.

This new Mark Levinson audio system aims to provide the ultimate benchmark of in-car sound quality. This 15-channel amplifier and 450-watt speaker system is perfectly suited for the dimensions and acoustic properties of the LS460’s interior. The system uses an individual, all-digital signal path to each speaker or pair of woofers. The Reference Sound Audio System also uses sophisticated 7.1-channel speaker architecture which guarantees that everyone in the car can experience surround sound.

There’s also an Automatic Sound Leveling (ASL) feature which keeps the volume at a constant when on the move. All these features makes the Reference Sound Audio System one of the most sophisticated car audio systems today – perfect for one of the most luxurious and accomplished cars on the road, the Lexus LS460.
