Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

ELS are the initials of Elliot Scheiner, a Grammy award winning music producer and engineer who is an authority on multichannel (surround) sound and mixing. The ELS system was developed by Panasonic and is available in Acura automobiles. It provides discrete 5.1 audio (six channels) for cars - the first system designed for cars like this.

BTW, the six channels are: front left, front right, rear left, rear right and sub woofer.
