Working at a theater is the 90s, we were all over this stuff. We had a theater with one auditorium that was THX, and it was a pretty big deal. It was formally a United Artist theater. Back in the day, they had a lot of clout and could get big, exclusive movies. When companies changed hands, they still had the equipment and eventually let the THX license lapse, but it still sounded amazing. When Cinemark came to town, they made a really big deal about promoting their THX houses. I saw tons of movies back then, and had my favorite theaters. The CInemark with the DTS/THX combo was my favorite.
I've been a huge fan of surround sound since getting my PS3 back in 2009. Before that I experimented with non discreet Quadraphonic sound and JVC's Hyper Surround Sound. But I bought a Yamaha 5.1 Dolby Digital made in 1999 and hooked it up to 4 speakers, a center speaker and powered subwoofer to my PS3 and I haven't looked back.
I think I'm gonna really like this channel a lot. Cheer's Joe.
Actually, as reported by WSR many many moons ago, Tomlinson Holman Experiment was a term coined by the press and George Lucas being the considerate person he was never denied nor confirmed it. Find the very elaborate WSR article regarding THX, any true videophile will find it a fastenating
I remember the first time i heard the digital sound of dolby digital while at the opening day of batman returns. It was the locomotive with the bells..sounded awesome
11:54 and also in cars! My 2014 Lincoln MKS has the 14-speaker THX Audio system. It has a dedicated center channel and trunk mounted subwoofer that is ported through the rear deck. Sounds absolutely incredible
Love this new channel. Just got my first semi-surround system (A soundbar with subwoofer and rear speakers) for Christmas, and I'm already amazed at how much I was missing for so long. Looking forward to more videos and going back to games that I didn't have a chance to experience properly!
