A Few Words About THX™ pm3™  

Certification

Nearly two decades ago, George Lucas turned a 

passion for great sound into the world’s most accepted 
and trusted solution for achieving it. The standard was 
named THX (for Tomlinson Holman, who developed 
the THX Sound System when he was the research and 
technical director at Lucasfilm Ltd.™ in the early 80s), 
and today, with hundreds of thousands of home theater 
customers and more than 3000 THX Certified movie  
theaters enjoying its benefits, the THX name has 
become nothing short of legendary. Simply put: when 
it comes to premium sound, no other name so closely 
defines ‘quality’ for millions of movie-goers and home 
theater enthusiasts alike.

Today, a new landscape is emerging. A landscape  

comprised of hundreds of small, professional multi-
channel facilities, whose need for differentiation, expert 
technical and marketing support, and a true, multi-
channel standard is becoming a competitive fact of life. 
Again, THX has a singular solution and this time it’s 
called THX pm3 Certification.

All facilities involved with mixing and/or monitoring 

of multi-channel material should have the option to use 
pm3. THX pm3 Certification is ideal for DVD mastering, 
sweetening, and mixing; and is also perfect for facilities 
doing work in broadcast, music, or multi-media  

 

applications.

HR624 MK2 THX pm3 Certification

When we submitted the HR624 MK2s for THX pm3 

Certification, they passed on the first try with no  
modifications!

Anyone seeking THX Certification for their studio, 

or striving to maintain THX standards, can use the 
HR624 MK2s and rest assured that their facility is in 
full compliance.
