2.THE HOME THX AUDIO SPEAKER SYSTEM
Your choice of an M&K Home THX Audio speaker system assures you of achieving the state of the art in home the- atre music and video reproduction. The precise and exacting standards developed by Lucasfilm's Home THX division, as applied by M&K's engineering team, assure that you will hear every element of film sound - from the softest brush of an object against an actor's clothing to the awesome impact of effects such as an exploding planet - with the same sonic quality heard by the film's director and sound designer as they created the final mix of sound on the studio's dubbing stage.
To do this in a home environment requires different equipment and standards than are found in a THX motion pic- ture theatre. The standards developed for Home THX Audio are critically important to achieving the following perform- ance attributes:
-wide frequency range, extending to the limits of audibility
-smooth, naturally balanced overall sound
-excellent dialog intelligibility
-wide dynamic range with extremely low distortion
-
-precise localization of specific sounds (as in special effects)
-envelopment by ambient soundfield (without any localization of individual speakers to distract from the action
-superb performance with musical sources
The unsurpassed quality of your M&K Home THX Audio speaker system means that all of the excitement and emo- tional involvement of films and music will be brought to life in your home. Turn down the lights, and let the experience begin!
