THX 22 Stereo Equalizer
All rooms differ, and all rooms display acoustical problems of some sort. These anomalies distract from the enjoyment of the true home theater experience. Recording studios equalize their playback, and the same procedure at home yields an uncolored, transparent sound, as heard in the studio. The THX 22 is also one of the quietest equalizers available at any price. After alignment, pressing the BYPASS switch reveals the before and after. The clarity is obvious.
The same combination of graphic and parametric equalization that is so
successful in the THX 44 equalizer is duplicated in the THX 22 for surround
speakers. Now all channels can deliver even room response, the goal in 5.1
digital systems.
In-wall speakers often carry a reputation for not sounding as good as free-standing ones. The THX 22 can greatly improve the response of in-walls by removing the peaks causing that boxy sound. The THX 22 can compensate for various wall construction techniques, allowing the different channels, free-standing or other in-wall speakers, to match room response better for a more transparent sound.
Anywhere in the home where remote speakers are used, regardless of brand or type, equalization makes a difference between sounding good and sounding great.
The left and right channels feature an 11-band 1/3-octave graphic section for low frequency corrections, plus a 2-band parametric equalizer for high frequencies. The THX 22 delivers up to ±6 dB of correction. The parametric bands can provide the broad frequency control occasionally needed in the top end, or notch out a problem frequency peak.
The THX 22 installs between the preamp/controller and the power amplifiers. Setting the surround channel controls to THX standards requires the temporary use of a 1/3 octave analyzer with averaging. As for the front channels, consult the Home THX Audio System Room Equalization Manual available below.
Once set-up, all controls are hidden away behind the included security panel. A low-noise power supply and attachable 19" rack mounting ears are also provided.
