Home THX Audio
System certification
Lucasfilm, Ltd. ® has established minimum standards for the performance of vari-
ous components which may be used in their Home THX ® Audio System. With
respect to power amplifiers, the standards address such things as:
• a low electrical noise floor to allow low-level information to be
fully appreciated;
• the absence of any mechanical noise (fans noise, transformer wind-
ing buzzes), for the same reason;
• adequate power to meet the demands of modern films (which can
be
quite
dynamic);
• flat frequency response for accurate reproduction of timbre;
• stability into relatively extreme loudspeaker loads, to ensure that
the amplifier will perform well with a wide range of loudspeakers.
As you can see from this list, there is nothing about the Home THX amplifier
specification that is particularly radical. It simply ensures a certain minimum
standard of performance. In particular, there is nothing in the nature of the
amplifier specification which prevents anyone from going above and beyond
the minimum performance levels required by THX certification.
Both the Proceed AMP 2 and AMP 3 are certified for use in Home THX audio
systems. In these products, Madrigal engineers have created powerful, versatile
and extraordinarily
musical
power amplifiers, using the technology and design
methodology for which they have become so well known. Equally suited to the
rigors of film soundtracks and the finesse of high end music reproduction, the
Proceed amplifier serves both needs quite well. In today’s growing market for
multi-purpose systems, they represent an extraordinary value.
