THX Certification
Certified products must meet an exclusive
set of performance standards established
by THX. These THX performance
standards were originally developed in
response to George Lucas' personal
desire to insure that the original Star
Wars™ soundtracks, heard in the cinema,
matched those created on the sound
stage. Later, these standards were
extended to encompass Home Theater
systems and recently adapted to the
specialized needs of multi-channel
surround reproduction from movies and
games, on DVD, played back on a PC-
based multimedia system. All multimedia
products seeking THX Certification must
meet these rigorous performance
requirements and quality standards
before they can carry the THX logo which
is your guarantee that this THX certified
Multimedia product will give you
performance and reliability, second-to-
none, for years to come. These
performance standards cover all aspects
of the product including power handling,
frequency response, dispersion
characteristics, etc.
