Ambience effects

Home THX cinema

THX is a creation of Lucasfilm Ltd., which practically brings the cinema sensation to your home with its superb multichannel digital audio program.

This system promises a reproduction of an enthralling home experience, which is able to encompass smaller space with fantastic audio output. In order to enjoy this function, an optimum speaker placement is required.

THX includes Re-equalization (Re-EQ), Timbre Matching, Adaptive Decorrelation, Bass Peak Level Manager and Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronisation.

Re-equalization (Re-EQ)

When listening in a typical home room, there may be some variation of echo due to air absorption and smaller space. The sound produced by flat response loudspeakers normally used in the cinema can be overly bright in the home environment. Thus, Re-equalization (Re-EQ) will adjust this condition to fit the home environment for a similar cinema effect.

Timbre Matching

Due to human condition, listening to sound from various directions of speakers can be very disturbing. So, it is important to smoothen the flow of sound to suit the home cinema environment. Timbre Matching is able to smoothen the flow of sound to the listener who will be able to enjoy the cinema effect at home.

Adaptive Decorrelation

Mono sound track produced form the speaker system comes from only one direction, which does not exemplify the cinema surround sound experience. Adaptive Decorrelation is able to adjust the inaccuracy of this sound distribution.

Bass Peak Level Manager

Certain sound tracks may produced various bass peaks that could be unpleasant in a home cinema environment. Therefore, a user- adjustable Bass Peak Level Manager is used to control the bass level

to suit the system’s capacity.

Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronisation

This function enables you to adjust the different speaker’s distance to your listening position. It permits an accurate synchronisation, which creates the ultimate sound environment.
