What’s THX?

THX is a series of standards and technologies developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. (of Star Wars fame). These are intended to ensure that what you hear and see on your home system, as closely as possible, matches what the director heard and saw during the final production of the film. THX is intended to enhance every type of viewing and listening experience including the latest discrete multi-

channel digital formats. Please note however that THX is not a separate surround format.

THX Select standards are based upon a room size of 2000 cubic feet (L x W x H). THX Ultra standards are based upon a room size of 3000 cubic feet. This does not mean these components must be used in rooms this exact size. The room sizes simply

provide a frame of reference, as they indicate that these systems must deliver a minimum level of performance in these specified room sizes. Your 272 PBM is THX Select certified.

Features

Your Atlantic Technology powered subwoofer has been engineered using the latest technology and finest components available. It features:

●A long-throw 12" composite cone driver with a vented 9.5 pound motor structure and 2” high temperature, 4 layer voice coil

This powerful driver has a very stiff cone that acts as an almost perfect piston throughout its operating range. Its massive magnetic motor assembly and high temperature component parts deliver exceptional performance and reliability. In fact, its basic motor assembly is identical to that from our top-of-the-line 15" subwoofers!

●Sealed enclosure design for low distortion and deep bass output

Sealed enclosure woofer designs are inherently low in distortion and naturally deliver deep, smooth bass response with a gradual and predictable roll-off below resonance. As with all Atlantic Technology subwoofers, we have paid inordinate attention to giving you accurate musical bass reproduction along with terrific special effects.
