Home THX Standard Home Theater Audio FAQ

Home THX FAQ


What is a home THX sound system?

The home THX home theater sound system is the ultimate multi-channel home entertainment system. The system includes a range of patented electronic devices and speakers designed to accurately reproduce multi-channel home theater sound in the home.

The reason for driving the development of home THX is that the movie soundtrack produced by the film production cannot be accurately reproduced in a home environment with a general audio device. There are two basic needs that need to be met for this.

The film soundtrack is recorded in the large space of the theater and is played back in the large space of the theater, so it is necessary to correct the errors of tone and space in the small space of the family.

The precision in complex multi-channel playback is required to create a sound field.

Lucas Home THX Sound System Standard is based on the film production process.

Is home THX compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS?

Of course! The goal of the home THX system is to accurately reproduce the feeling in the mixing studio. All surround sound theaters can create 4 or 5.1 channel sound effects. The acoustics, loudness curves, speaker clusters and 4-channel Dolby Surround requirements in the 5.1-channel digital surround sound cinema are consistent. The goal of home THX technology is to be precise in these tracks.

Is the home THX dipole surround sound suitable for those 5.1-channel digital formats?

Yes. The dipole surround speakers are designed to mimic the sound field of a surround sound group in a mixing studio or theater. In the theater, those "surrounded speaker sets" bring a vast surround sound experience. Because of the limitations of home layout, the surround speakers are closer to the audience and the number is smaller. THX dipole surround speakers are the best way to reproduce a wide surround sound field. The surround sound effect and the moving effect will indicate the correct direction, and the surround sound atmosphere will be open and surrounded, rather than as if it were from the back box. This is more important for the "Separate Surround" format.

Is the home THX speaker suitable for listening to music?

of course. Home THX speakers are optimized for 4-channel or 5.1-channel, resulting in better panning and sharpness from the front speakers for better surround sound from the surround speakers. These are all beneficial to the reproduction of music.

What are the advantages of playing back a 4-channel or 5.1-channel audio track with a home THX sound system?

You can hear a more balanced tone. Many movie soundtracks sound too bright on ordinary home audio.

The dialogue is clearer. All of the five main channels can operate independently during a 5.1 channel mix. Intensive sound effects may mask subtle dialogue. With the home THX system, you can hear the dialogue even in noisy scenes.

Experience a strong sense of envelopment. The front and surround speakers combine to create a seamless sound field that is immersive.

The sound is positioned accurately, and you will notice that the sound moves with the movie screen and is consistent with the movie.

The full frequency range and dynamic range of the movie track can be played back without distortion.

The system can accurately and powerfully play back the lowest subwoofer octave

What are the components of the home THX system?

In order to accurately convert movie soundtracks into the home environment, the following three home THX products must be used.

Home THX Controller - Includes multi-channel circuitry and necessary electronic enhancements such as Re-equalization?, Timbre Matching?, Decorrelation? to reproduce the cinema experience in a home theater .

Home THX Speakers - Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround, Subwoofer to create a clear, well-positioned, multi-channel sound field with a wide sound. The front speakers provide proper tone balance, dialogue clarity, sound positioning, and surround speakers provide a sense of surround and space.

Home THX Amplifier - Designed for multi-channel playback systems and requires testing for distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, stability, and dynamic power capabilities.

Additional home THX products include home THX room equalizers, sound-transparent projection screens, DVD players, and connecting cables.

Home THX Room Equalizer - Corrects acoustic problems in the room. Although not required, the THX Room Equalizer improves the system's frequency response and tone correction for best results.

Home THX Translucent Projection Screen - Provides sharp image characteristics for front projection while ensuring that the sound behind the screen can pass through the screen without loss.

Home THX Player - Requires the highest video and audio standards. The playback disc has excellent resolution, detail and color saturation, and reduced image noise. In addition, THX players have to meet the demanding requirements of audiophiles. THX players must have the ability to directly output digital multi-channel signals, such as THX connection cables - based on special specifications: in the distance of the home theater, to ensure the correct characteristics, to avoid sound dyeing.

I heard that 5 of the same stereos are best for 5.1-channel playback. Why is the method recommended by THX different?

The surround sound in the theater is different from the front speakers because they have different effects. The front speakers are responsible for clear play dialogue and provide sound positioning consistent with the image. Surround speakers create the diffusion and envelopment of ambient sound, as well as the occasional translation and sweeping overhead. If you want to build a 5.1-channel home theater system with a normal speaker, it is a minimum requirement to add 5 subwoofers with the same speaker. The home THX speaker system is specially designed for multi-channel. THX "left center right" speakers and THX dipole surround speakers are designed to meet the environmental psychoacoustic characteristics of cinemas and recording studios. The THX subwoofer is designed to reduce the volume of the main speakers and the dynamic range of the system while reducing the volume of the main speakers.

To achieve the THX effect, must I purchase a complete THX system?

No. Every home THX product: controller, "left center right" speaker, surround speaker, subwoofer, amplifier, equalizer, DVD player, wire, transparent projection screen, all solve specific problems for home theater. You can use any equipment in your home theater, and using the full set of equipment will bring you the best feeling.

What is the difference between home THX systems at different price points?

Although THX has a rigorous and comprehensive technical specification and quality control certification, each manufacturer's products are subject to their own design and manufacturing perspectives and experience. The differences between products can be:

a) the ability to use in a large room;
b) additional DSP sound processing modes;
c) use special technology and more expensive components;
d) More complex design and manufacturing.

Among the large number of THX products, THX guarantees a consistent design effect, and consumers are free to choose. At every price point, the home THX system is the best performing multi-channel playback system. More home theater knowledge, all in China's home theater network, official WeChat: cnhifi.
