NEW THX APPROVED EQUIPMENT DEBUTS AT SHOWEST


SAN RAFAEL, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, March 14, 2006 - THX Ltd., the leading provider of technologies, certification programs and quality assurance standards for the entertainment industry, today announced at ShoWest that it has added several new loudspeaker and subwoofer products to its list of THX Approved equipment. By achieving THX Approval, these cinema audio products can now be used by the more than 2,000 THX Certified Cinemas around the globe.

In a THX Certified Cinema, the cinema auditorium is designed from the ground up to meet the THX standards for presentation excellence. Since audio technology plays such a critical role in the THX Certified experience, THX requires that only THX Approved products be used in certified cinemas. Before obtaining THX Approval, manufacturers must submit equipment to the THX testing laboratory in Northern California, where each product is carefully analyzed to the specific THX requirements. Cinema products that meet the THX Approved performance requirements deliver movie sound and visuals exactly like they were produced in the post-production studio.

The THX Approved QSC and Krix loudspeakers and subwoofers listed below will make their debut at this year’s ShoWest. For a full list of THX Approved equipment, visit www.thx.com.
