Cadillac Escalade – AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker Sound System Review

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade is AKG's first foray into automotive audio, and they came in swinging! 36 speakers (although we were only able to find 30), three amplifiers, and a booming subwoofer make this sound system one of the best we've ever tested. On top of excellent audio quality, the Escalade's touchscreen and rotary knob make for easy infotainment operation. This new audio system is truly a class leader.

On top of our standard tests, we also test Cadillac's passenger volume feature as well as the included wireless headphones in the second row!
