CEDIA Expo 2023
THX: A Brief History and Way Forward
Speaker: Gerry Lemay
Date/Time: Sept. 6, 2023; 8:00 am – 12:00 pm MDT
For those among us who have been a part of the evolution of Home Cinema since the beginning, you’ll already appreciate the role of THX in our industry. John Dahls THX Level One and Level Two training at CEDIA Expo was a must-have. The establishment of standards in design and calibration by THX was groundbreaking. Today, THX remains an integral part of the design and calibration of A-List movie industry screening rooms and dubbing stages throughout the world. Many of the great movies we watch are produced in newly designed THX studios. It’s time they returned to CEDIA and brought their in-the-trenches incite as to the “Artists Intent” to home cinemas premier association. With the introduction of CEDIA’s RP22 document, it’s important to understand the relevance of this industry giant and how THX and CEDIA have become consistent in terms of standards. The class will include a brief history of THX, and many of their groundbreaking standards which are the foundation of what we still must learn to be professional. You’ll learn the basics of the THX process for designing a state-of-the-art screening room for your client and a way forward for further training with THX’s support of the Home Acoustics Alliance and the CEDIA dedication toward professionalism.
