1. Introduction Congratulations!!! Crystal Audiovideo Ltd., the manufacturer of Crystal Audio and Crystal Audiovideo products, introduces Crystal Acoustics, a new brand for the USA and Canada. Your new speakers, built to the highest standards, meet all the technical requirements for state-of-the-art sound reproduction. Our THX Select Subwoofers will bring ultimate bass performance to your home entertainment system.
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.
2. Positioning your THX Surround Sound Speakers 2.1 Front Speakers Your THX-System speakers are designed for high performance multichannel sound in a variety of listening environments. They deliver powerful, engaging, you-are-there movie soundtracks, plus a nuanced, detailed and dynamic musical presentation. The front L/R speakers are largely responsible for producing powerful dynamics, a textured midrange, clear, accurate highs, plus soundstage imaging, stability and focus.
2.2 Surround Speakers 2.3 THX-12SUB, THX-10SUB and THX-10SUBt Subwoofers Surround speaker placement depends on the audio format (5.1,7.1, etc.) and the speakers in use. Dipoles create a diffused soundfield ideal for surround effects. It's preferred for best performance from THX Select Certified systems. Your THX-Dipole surround speaker provides Movie Theater sound as immersive and dynamically impressive as THX standards can make them. A dipole speaker "paints" the walls and ceiling with sound.
