What's THX?

THX is a series of standards and technologies developed by Lucasfilm Ltd. (of Star Wars fame) intended to

ensure that what you hear and see on your home system, as closely as possible, matches what the director

heard and saw during the final production of the film. THX is intended to enhance every type of viewing

of reference, as they indicate that these systems must deliver a minimum level of performance in these

specified room sizes. System 270 THX is THX Select certified.

Components

Model 271 LR Front Channel Speaker

The Model 271 LR Front Channel Speakers are high performance, two-way systems intended for use

only with a quality subwoofer, such as the Atlantic Technology Model 272 PBM THX. Each speaker

contains two 5-1/4" IMG (injection-molded graphite) woofers, and a 1" Ferrofluid

with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. These components are mounted in an acoustically inert MDF

(Medium Density Fiberboard) cabinet. The 271 LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed

right next to a TV set without concern.

Model 273m C Center Channel Speaker

It is vital to the accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack that the three front speakers have the

same sonic signature. Therefore, the Model 273m C Center Channel Speaker contains the

same two 5-1/4" IMG woofers and 1" fluid cooled silk dome tweeter as the 271 LR speakers. The 273m C is

designed for use only with a dedicated subwoofer like the 272 PBM THX. The 273m C includes a high

frequency level control that allows it to be placed directly above or below the TV screen (which impacts the

speaker's sound) and still provide accurate reproduction. Since up to 85% of dialogue and 65% of special

effects are reproduced through the center channel speaker, it's important that its sound be accurate and

timbre-matched to the other speakers in the system. The rear-mounted High Frequency control incorporated

into the 273m C allows for this matching. Additionally, there are switches to compensate for the speaker's

proximity to a TV screen and to adjust the midrange "presence."

THX Select standards are based upon a room size of 2000 cubic feet (L x W x H). THX Ultra

standards are based upon a room size of 3000 cubic feet. This does not mean these

components must be used in rooms this exact size. The room sizes simply provide a frame
