THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control
technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX
Select2 Plus™ Certified receivers. With THX Loudness
Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the
rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A
consequence of turning the volume below Reference
Level is that certain sound elements can be lost or
perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness
Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that
occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently
adjusting ambient surround channel levels and
frequency response. This enables users experience the
true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume
setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied
when listening in any THX listening mode. The new
THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are
tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings
for each type of content.
