A Few Words About THX™ pm3™
Certification
Nearly two decades ago, George Lucas turned a
passion for great sound into the world's most accepted
and trusted solution for achieving it. The standard was
named THX (for Tomlinson Holman, who developed
the THX Sound System when he was the research and
technical director at Lucasfilm Ltd.™ in the early 80s),
and today, with hundreds of thousands of home theater
customers and more than 3000 THX Certified movie
theaters enjoying its benefits, the THX name has
become nothing short of legendary. Simply put: when
it comes to premium sound, no other name so closely
defines 'quality' for millions of movie-goers and home
theater enthusiasts alike.
Today, a new landscape is emerging. A landscape
comprised of hundreds of small, professional multi-
channel facilities, whose need for differentiation, expert
technical and marketing support, and a true, multi-
channel standard is becoming a competitive fact of life.
Again, THX has a singular solution and this time it's
called THX pm3 Certification.
All facilities involved with mixing and/or monitoring
of multi-channel material should have the option to use
pm3. THX pm3 Certification is ideal for DVD mastering,
sweetening, and mixing; and is also perfect for facilities
doing work in broadcast, music, or multi-media
applications.
