THX surround sound processing is one of the best ways to get every ounce of performance from your home theater system. Created by George Lucas and company, THX surround sound processing strives to be the premier surround sound processor in the industry, with super high standards and a reputation for delivering incredible high quality sound. Once sought after by audiophiles and videophiles, today THX surround sound is in reach of almost any consumer. Here are some tips.
TXH Surround sound usually gives the receiver the power to distribute sound processing to multiple channels, usually in the 6.1 or even 7.1 configuration. A 6.1 configuration is as follows: 1 center channel speaker, 1 front right speaker, 1 front left speaker, 1 right surround speaker, 1 left surround speaker, 1 pair of rear speakers and 1 sub woofer. For most people a large room is necessary to make this configuration work appropriately.
A 7.1 configuration adds an extra set of surround right and left speakers and is usually for custom home theater rooms which are more like small cinemas. THX is usually found only on moderate and high end equipment. However you can find THX surround sound processing on top of the line computer speakers if you wish to watch movies on your home computer.
THX surround sound processing is not available with every DVD or CD, however some of the special effects movies such as the newer Star Wars do come with THX processed sound.
