THX Re-EQ is a compensation technology taking soundtracks that are mixed for large cinemas, where speakers are placed farther away from you, and re-establishes the accurate tonal balance for your close range home theater speakers. Without THX Re-EQ, higher frequencies sound excessively “edgy” or “bright.” With THX Re-EQ, the movie soundtrack is true to the original immersive cinematic experience.
Example: The THX Certified DVD classic action film Aliens is loaded with audio and visual effects. When watching this film with THX Re-EQ activated in your THX Certified receiver or pre-amplifier, the technology adjusts and reproduces the high frequencies to play at the appropriate audio level in your home. Otherwise these frequencies would sound overbearing and distracting.
