Home Theater Technology magazine has discussed THX's AV certification with readers many times, and has made many recommended articles on THX living room theaters. In previous articles, the recommendation direction is focused on brand recommendation, or a specific series of products, although the user's choice will be wider, but it will also be more entangled. Then this article will recommend a set of embedded THX cinema system with detailed configuration for you.
全套THX Ultra2认证音箱
In terms of brand selection, Klipsch will become the first choice of many people, whether it is the status achievements in the field of home theater, or the technical achievements in THX are second to none, Klipsch has a wealth of THX certified speakers and supporting amplifiers. Getting back to the point, since we recommend a complete THX cinema system, you need to consider the front main speakers, surround speakers, sky channel speakers, subwoofers, and even THX-certified amplifiers to make it perfect.
The entire suite of speakers is THX Ultra2 certified, which means that in a space of about 85m³, it can be as close as possible to the THX commercial cinema. The THX-6000-LCR tweeter is equipped with a titanium compression driver with LTS linear moving overhang technology and Klipsch's signature Tractrix horn, which enables precise tweeter movement, and Tractrix horn for improved sound efficiency, flat frequency response and expanded sound stage.
The 6.5-inch woofer is made of Cerametallic cerametallic ceramic, a lightweight and sturdy material that can withstand high-power impacts, and a cast aluminium cone frame for excellent stability and reduced distortion even under high sound pressures. As an in-wall speaker, if there is a pilot hole design, it is usually designed on the side or front, and the THX-6000-LCR is a front guide hole design to get better low-frequency extension.
Can't ignore surround sound
The Klipsch THX-8000-S is a surround speaker with a 1-inch titanium tweeter mounted on top and bottom of the Tractrix horn array, paired with an 8-inch Cerametallic woofer for deep bass. The THX-8000-S is also equipped with Klipsch's Wide Dispersion Surround Technology, which allows listeners to accurately locate their voices in less than ideal listening positions, providing more layout flexibility than traditional designs.
The THX-5002-S is the in-ceiling speaker, featuring dual 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofers with a front-facing port design for excellent low-frequency response. The 1-inch titanium treble is housed in a patented 60-90-110 degree horn angle with Variable Dispersion Technology (VCT) that allows the speaker to produce precise sound imaging and a concentrated sound field. The THX-5002-S is also equipped with WDST wide dispersion surround technology.
The right reason, the best match
In a cinema system, subwoofers play an increasingly important role, and Klipsch is also very skilled in subwoofers, and the THX-1200-SW passive subwoofer is one of the masterpieces. The THX-1200-SW features a long-excursion design with a 12-inch Cerametallic woofer, a cast aluminum frame for a strong and stable structure, and a front-mounted guide groove for easy positioning for powerful low-frequency effects. The THX-1200-SW needs to be paired with the KA-1000-THX cannon amplifier, which is a power amplifier specially designed for the THX-1200-SW, which can continuously output 500W power under 8 ohms and 1000W at 4 ohms. It has functions such as 0 to 180 degree phase adjustment, boundary gain compensation, and low-pass frequency crossover.
In the choice of amplifier, it was almost impossible to think about locking on the Onkyo flagship model RZ70 for three reasons. One reason is that I believe most audio-visual enthusiasts know the origin of Onkyo and THX, and is the first consumer home theater audio brand to obtain THX certification, so it is understandable to choose RZ70; The second reason is that Onkyo and Klipsch have reached an in-depth cooperation to provide each other with corresponding technical support, and Onkyo, the amplifier brand that knows Klipsch best, must be one of them; The third reason is that the RZ70 comes with Dirac Live technology for free, allowing users to upgrade the Dirac Live Bass Control to calibrate the subwoofer. Of course, these three reasons are built on the excellent performance of the RZ70, which supports 11.2 channels, and users can build 7.2.4 channels of Atmos system.
summary
THX certification is one of the goals pursued by mid-to-high-end audio-visual enthusiasts, and it is precisely because of the rigorous THX certification process that the final presentation is optimal. Of course, the above configuration is only for reference, users can appropriately increase or decrease the number of speakers according to the size of the space, and form a suitable theater system. Whether it's Klipsch or Onkyo, there are many products that are deeply tied to THX certification, which can provide more choices in the future.
