The driver in the subwoofer is the first component to receive the \u201cApproved by THX<\/a>\u201d designation. And it\u2019s set to revolutionize the subwoofer category, delivering a level of performance that rivals the highest standards on the market.<\/span>\n\nBut what does it mean for a component to be THX Approved, and how did the Outlaw Ultra X-13<\/a> achieve that honor? Read on to find out.<\/span>\n\nTaking our expertise to the component level<\/b>\n\nThis year, THX brought its renowned expertise to audio and video components, launching a new iteration of the Approved by THX program. We\u2019re still dedicated to certifying end products for optimal performance\u2014we\u2019ve just taken it a step further. Now we\u2019re evaluating and approving the individual components that make great end products possible.<\/span>\n\nThis initiative provides a first-time opportunity for top-tier original design manufacturers (ODMs) to receive the Approved by THX <\/a>designation. THX Certification will lead to higher demand for those components, and ultimately to a faster path to approval for end products.<\/span>\n\nEveryone wins: ODMs create higher-quality components that product manufacturers will want to use in their designs. End product makers can build superior systems that command higher prices on the shelves. And consumers enjoy the best entertainment experiences possible.<\/span>\n\n\"Outlaw\n\nDifferent room size, different certifications<\/b>\n\nFor many years, THX has certified products across different categories based on room size. \u201cTHX Select\u201d certification is for smaller rooms, while \u201cTHX Ultra\u201d certification applies to larger ones. We\u2019ve brought these same designations to our THX Approved Component Program, with a few slight alterations.<\/span>\n\nTHX Select certification applies to rooms up to 2000 sq ft, while THX Ultra is for rooms up to 3000 sq ft. For better clarity, we\u2019ve simplified some of our older designations: \u201cSelect2\u201d is now just \u201cSelect\u201d and \u201cUltra2\u201d is \u201cUltra.\u201d<\/span>\n\n\"\"\n\nUltra performance for ultra spaces<\/b>\n\nAs the name would indicate, the Outlaw Ultra X-13 meets our THX Ultra specifications. Let\u2019s dive a little deeper into what that means.<\/span>\n\nTo attain Ultra certification, THX conducts a myriad of tests, including sensitivity, frequency response, distortion, etc. Products must be able to play at 85dB and have +20dB of headroom (at the specified listening distance). This requirement applies to all Ultra loudspeakers, not just subwoofers.<\/span>\n\nTHX Ultra subwoofers also must have low distortion and the ability to play down to 20hz. These requirements ensure dialogue and explosions alike are heard clearly and without unwanted noises or clipping.<\/span>\n\nIt usually takes a system of at least two subwoofers to achieve Ultra certification. But that constraint is now history.<\/span>\n\nCinema-quality entertainment from a single subwoofer<\/b>\n\nThe Outlaw Ultra X-13 is one of a limited number of subwoofers that can provide enough output for a THX Ultra sized room using a single subwoofer. Can you say \u201cgame changer\u201d?<\/span>\n\nTHX performed over 400 tests to certify Claridy\u2019s new offering. Demonstrating their tireless commitment to quality and their value as a strategic partner, Claridy studied our specifications, inquired about our test process and methodology, and made the necessary adjustments to create a subwoofer that met our requirements.<\/span>\n\nOne thing we tested for, as we do with all audio products submitted for Ultra certification, was \u201cflat\u201d frequency response. THX Certified loudspeakers, and other electronics with flat response, will reproduce content the way the artist intended, without any coloring caused by the system. This enables superior experiences for end users, bringing the full vision of the original content creator to life.<\/span>\n\n\"THX\n\nLook for more THX Approved components soon<\/b>\n\nThe Approved by THX program for components is just getting started. We\u2019ll be releasing info on new products soon as we work with our partners to reach astonishing heights of audio and visual quality.<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In partnership with THX, Claridy Audio has developed the Ultra X-13, a subwoofer specifically designed for Outlaw Audio.
