1.1 THX Select Certified Products
THX, the trademark of THX Ltd., is the ultimate set of standards for home theater sound. It incorporates 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 Select is their reference standard for smaller rooms, cali-
brated to define reference level performance in rooms of about 2000 square feet.

1.2 THX Select Certified Speaker 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 bound
aries--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, soundstage,
and imaging focus
High sound levels and dynamics capability
High sensitivity
means even a relatively low-power A/V receiver or multichannel amplifier can drive
them as long as they can support multiple 4 ohm loads
High power
handling means they're safe to use with powerful A/V receivers or big multichannel
amplifiers
Dipole speakers:
THX recommend dipole surround speakers to more faithfully reproduce the surround
effects of movie theaters
Wide dispersion characteristics accurately reproduces the sound of two rows of side-mounted speakers
Timbre matching:
Your THX-System speakers have similar tonal characteristics because of similar or
identical crossover topology, smooth frequency response, and quality drivers
Full magnetic shielding:
Your THX-System are fully shielded for safe placement as near the TV/video
display as needed
