  Elliot Scheiner 

The first interview can be found as a link in the entry on DVD Audio, below.  This second interveiw is from Car Audio & Electronics:

"We caught up with Grammy-winning surround producer and ELS namesake Elliot Scheiner by phone just after he returned from Acura's Marysville, OH, factory, where the RDX is built.

CA&E: How is the RDX system different from the original ELS system in the Acura TL?

Elliot Scheiner: We were able to create a surround environment for anyone sitting in the back seat. That was a critique of the TL - if you were sitting in the back you didn't have a good surround image because you couldn't hear the front all that well. But at the same time, Acura's marketing research showed that 90 percent of the time there's nobody in the back seat anyway. But with the RDX they decided they wanted to address that. We were also able to change the position of certain speakers and that helped a lot. We were able to elevate the [rear] surround speakers and direct them towards the front rather than have them reflect off the rear windshield [as in the TL]. And that was a major improvement."
