2.2 THX Ultra2 Certified Products

THX, the trademark of THX Ltd., is the ultimate set of standards for home theater sound. It incor-
porates a series of patented electronic and loudspeaker specifications designed to bring the big
theater experience right into your home.
THX was indeed the first standard, but Lucasfilm THX realized their specification must adjust for
differently sized home entertainment environments. THX Ultra2 is the reference standard for big-
ger rooms, calibrated to define reference level performance in rooms of about 3000 square feet.

2.3 Product features

Crystal Acoustics speaker systems, optimized for a stupendous, powerful and dynamic surround
sound presentation, still delivers nuanced, high performance multichannel music when required.
They feature:
• Absolutely flat frequency response
• Easy placement:
> THX Bass Management specifications minimize interaction between speakers and the room
boundaries--i.e., walls, corners, etc.
> Free Air Rotating Spherical Tweeter avoids diffraction effects improving high frequency
performance
> Avoids having to move the whole speaker to set the tweeters for the right balance between a
big coherent soundstage and image focus
• Electronic protection for the tweeters
• Wide horizontal dispersion characteristics for wideband flat frequency response throughout the room
• Controlled vertical dispersion diminishes ceiling and floor reflections for superior air, sound
stage, and imaging focus
• High sound levels and dynamics capability
