Klipsch Brand To Make Its OEM Vehicle Debut in 2015 Cadillac Escalade

Voxx said it will supply dual DVD head restraints and Klipsch Image One headphones -- its first multisubsidiary OEM contract -- in all 2015 and 2016 model year Cadillac Escalade Platinum Edition vehicles. It's the first OEM integration of Klipsch audio products, said Voxx in a Wednesday news release. The rear-seat entertainment system comprises VoxxHirschmann custom front head restraints with dual 7-inch screen/DVD players, and a pair of Klipsch Image One wired headphones customized to work with the vehicles’ overhead screens. The headphones have a shorter cable, a 3.5mm audio connector and an audio harness in addition to an in-line volume control, said the company. Voxx CEO Pat Lavelle said it had always been the company’s intention to use Klipsch products in its OEM car business, and “this is just the beginning.”
