THX - What is THX

THX ensures the highest possible quality in home cinema, THX defines stringent picture and sound track criteria for film-to-DVD (and film-to-VHS) transfers.  Such DVD titles are labeled as "THX Digitally Mastered for superior sound and picture quality" or simply "THX Certified".  THX also defines stringent performance standards for audio/video source and processing components.  These include strict performance standards for DVD players, receivers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, speakers, interconnect cables, speaker cables, and even the room's acoustic characteristics (for dedicated home theater environments).

For the "everyday consumer", the "THX" label means that the highest standards have been used, whether the product is a DVD-Video title, audio/video components.  Or in the case of custom home theater projects the label means:

Home Entertainment Experience

Every seat is a good seat!

 "50% of your home theater system is the room. The remaining 50% is the audio electronics and speakers"

 

THX has dramatically improved home theater performance, bringing critically-acclaimed sound and visual presentations of movies, music and games to the home. Every THX Certified Home Theater Product is engineered and rigorously tested to guarantee your home entertainment is experienced exactly as the filmmaker, recording artist or game developer intended.

Attention to two essential requirements are necessary to achieve the ultimate home theater experience:

  • Performance Standards - Apply an exacting set of technical requirements designed to produce optimal sound fields.
  • Patented Technologies - Design and develop accurate technologies to capture and deliver studio quality sound to the home.
Manufacturers work closely with THX during the product development phase, building components to THX specifications and incorporating THX technologies. Products are then submitted to THX to undergo a series of usability, performance and certification tests. It is only after a product meets the THX criteria that the exclusive THX Certified status is granted and final production begins.
