What’s THX?

THX is a series of standards and technologies originally developed by 
LucasFilm Ltd. (of Star Wars fame) and now an entity unto itself. These 
technologies and standards are intended to ensure that what you hear and 
see on your A/V system, as closely as possible, matches what the director/
artist/engineer heard and saw during the final mixing of the source material. 
THX standards are intended to enhance every type of viewing and listening 
experience including the latest discrete multi-channel digital formats. Please 
note however that, although there is proprietary THX electronic processing, 
THX is not a surround format. 
THX Ultra2 standards are based on a 3000 cubic foot room (L x W x H = 
cu. ft.). This does not mean Ultra2 certified components must be used in 
rooms this exact size. The room sizes simply provide a frame of reference, 
as the standards specify that the system must deliver certain performance 
minimums (volume, frequency response, etc.) in the specified space. For 
more information, see the THX website at www.thx.com.

Model 8200e LR and 6200e LR Front Channel 

Speakers

The Model 8200e LR Front Channel Speakers (Figure 1) are ultra-high per-
formance three-way systems intended for use only with a quality subwoofer, 
such as the Atlantic Technology Model 642e SB. Each speaker contains two 
GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 8" woofers, two GLH 5¼" midrange 
drivers, and an advanced 1" Ferrofluid™ cooled, damped silk dome tweeter 
with a powerful neodymium magnet structure. These components are 
mounted in an acoustically inert ¾" thick internally braced MDF enclosure. 
The midrange and tweeter drivers are internally isolated within their own 
airtight sub-enclosure. The LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they 
may be placed close to a TV set without concern.
The Model 6200e LR Front Channel Speakers (Figure 1) are ultra-high per-
formance two-way systems intended for use only with a quality subwoofer, 
such as the Atlantic Technology Model 642e SB.  Each speaker contains two 
GLH (Graphite Loaded Homopolymer) 6.5" woofers and the same advanced 
1" Ferrofluid™ tweeter as the 8200e. These components are mounted in an 
acoustically inert .75" thick internally braced MDF enclosure. The 6200e 
LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed close to a TV 
set without concern.
