THX® Audio System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The THX® audio system provides theatre quality sound in the vehicle. Audio signals are sent from the ACM to the audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module, which processes the audio signals and sends them to the speakers. The audio DSP module communicates via the MS-CAN .
The audio DSP module determines the correct audio environment based on the audio signals it receives and on the information it receives from other audio system modules via the MS-CAN . These messages include such information as fade/balance and speed sensitive volume settings.
