THX INFORMATION
THX is an exclusive set of standards and
technologies established by the world-renowned
film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew
from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your
experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie
theatres and in your home theatre, as faithful as
possible to what the director intended.

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie
theatres called dubbing stages and are designed
to be played back in movie theatres with similar
equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is
then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape,
DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a
small home theatre environment.

THX engineers developed patented technologies
to accurately translate the sound from the movie
theatre environment into the home, correcting the
tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the SSP-75,

Re-Equalization™
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be
excessively bright and harsh when played back
over audio equipment in the home because film
soundtracks were designed to be played back
in large movie theatres using very different
professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores
the correct tonal balance for watching a movie
soundtrack in a small home environment.

Timbre Matching™
The human ear changes our perception of a sound
depending on the direction from which the sound
is coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of
surround speakers so that the surround information
is all around you. In a home theatre, you use only
two speakers located to the side of your head.
The Timbre Matching feature filters the information
going to the surround speakers so that they more
closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound
coming from the front speakers. This ensures
seamless panning between the front and
surround speakers.

Adaptive Decorrelation™
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround
speakers help create an enveloping surround sound
experience, but in a home theatre there are usually
only two speakers. This can make the surround
speakers sound like headphones that lack
spaciousness and envelopment. The surround
sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as
you move away from the middle seating position.
Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes one
surround channel’s time and phase relationship with
respect to the other surround channel. This expands
the listening position and creates – with only two
speakers – the same spacious surround experience
as in a movie theatre.
