Engineering notes
- AKG Studio Reference with Dolby Atmos is 38 speakers on Premium Luxury and Premium Sport; the standard AKG Studio system is 21 speakers, and the Executive Second Row package takes the Reference system to 42.
- Cadillac says the system recreates a 7.1.4 studio mix in the cabin, with direct height speakers rather than up-firing reflections.
- Cadillac and AKG publish no amplifier channel count, wattage, subwoofer position or zone-by-zone speaker breakdown for the Escalade IQ.
