THX ULTRA2 HIGH PERFORMANCE FLUSH- MOUNT, DIPOLE SURROUND
Rear effects channels determine the envelopment you experience with all
multichannel recordings. However, hearing the surround channel location
rather than the surround effects undermines the spacial realism possible with
today’s movie soundtracks and music recordings. Adopted by THX in 1990 as
the defacto standard for surround playback, dipoles effectively reproduce all
of the effects content in a diffuse and airy way. The AMC900THX is the world’s
first THX Ultra2 certified surround speaker, setting a new benchmark for
high-performance dipoles with its innovative design. More than mounting
flush to a wall or ceiling and virtually disappearing, it is a full range
surround that easily exceeds the 80Hz THX standard. Much like an array of
movie theater surround speakers, its figure 8 pattern, with a wide null
directed at the listeners, ensures a very diffuse, non-localized sound field to
a very large listening area. Its novel driver configuration gives enhanced
dipole performance with optimum polar response. Two outward firing
“Directed Power” tweeters make up the high frequency part of the dipole
radiation. An edge mounted midrange extends dipole performance down to
400Hz. As for bass, the AMC900THX’s 61/2” woofer includes its own acoustic
suspension enclosure, assuring the bass extension and output necessary to
enjoy the demands of Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS recordings.
