Featured on all Certified Receivers, THX ASA establishes THX Listening Modes, making it convenient to have one speaker set up for movies, music and games.

What is THX ASA?

Today, movie, music and games are created in different types of studio environments, with multiple speaker configurations. The dilemma?
