THX I/S Plus

THX I/S Plus systems are ideal for small home theatres where the screen-to-seat viewing distance is approximately 2.5 meters. All components within the system—the receiver, speakers, and amplifier—are tested by THX to make sure they work harmoniously together. In addition to THX certification, each system comes with THX® Surround EX™;THX listening modes for music, movies, and games; and THX® Loudness Plus™, a new volume-control technology for low-volume listening.

A-OMF

The A-OMF speaker diaphragm fibers provide an extremely fast and accurate response. A-OMF incorporates a PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) layer with a flexible cotton weave. We then added an aramid layer to create New A-OMF.

What is DTS:X?


DTS:X is the next generation audio codec from DTS that leverages object-based audio to enable new audio experiences in immersion and interactivity. And Onkyo Network A/V Receivers are at the Forefront.


THE MOST LIFELIKE AUDIO
DTS:X places sound where it would occur naturally in space, creating the most lifelike, multi-dimensional audio experience ever.

EXPERIENCE SOUND UNBOUND
Free from channel restrictions, sound can be placed and moved to where you would hear it in the real world.


DTS:X MAKES SOUND MOVE
Because DTS:X doesn't require any specific speaker layout, you can arrange your home theater system however you want it.

INTERACTIVE AUDIO
With DTS:X you’re in control of your listening experience. That hard-to-hear line in a movie can be lifted out of the background sounds for a more personal entertainment experience.

DTS:X Features
From Sonic Immersion to Interactivity
OBJECT-BASED AUDIO
An audio object is the combination of the waveform where captures the audio, and metadata which represents the spatial location in which the object should be heard.
Audio objects free content from specific speaker layouts for optimal listening.
This means the same DTS:X content will sound great whether it's rendered on stereo or a fully immersive surround sound system.



BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE
Your movie collection gets a new lease on life! Rest assured that our celebrated catalog of DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks are best heard with DTS:X. Take your favorite Blu-ray, DVD or digital movie to new heights.




FLEXIBLE HOME THEATER LAYOUTS
DTS:X is about unbound sound. It will work on any speaker layout, including up-firing speakers, but these are not required.
DTS:X is fully capable of working with any and all speaker layouts.

PERSONALIZE IT 
DTS:X brings new levels of immersion and interactivity to the listening experience.
Unlike channel-based audio, you will be able to personalize your audio experience. For example lift the dialog out from the background sounds when you want clarity and experience a more personal entertainment experience.


FLEXIBLE 
One of the biggest benefits of DTS:X is the ability to render audio perfectly across any type of speaker layout, from hundreds of speakers down to headphones. Because DTS:X doesn't require any specific speaker layout, you can arrange your home theater system however you want.


ADAPTS TO YOUR SETUP 
For a fully immersive experience, we recommend a speaker layout that includes height to experience a whole new level of immersion.
DTS:X is a departure from channel-based audio by leveraging audio objects. Object audio enables optimized playback on any speaker layout, with any number of speakers from two to two hundred.



LOSSLESS QUALITY 
DTS:X supports lossless encoding, preserving fidelity to deliver a pristine listening experience.
In situations where bit-rate is of high concern, DTS:X can also operate in a high-quality lossy mode.

Audio quality is the number one concern at DTS.
DTS:X is based on discrete, lossless coding of audio objects.




REALISM 
Be prepared - the improved immersion and heightened realism of DTS:X creates the most lifelike, multi-dimensional audio experience ever, making horror movies scarier, comedies more laugh-out-loud, and car chase scenes even more intense.


NEURAL:X 
Neural:X is the latest upmixing and spatial remapping technology from DTS which provides a fully immersive output for all types of source content. You can enjoy an immersive audio experience with virtually any speaker layout. Take your entertainment to new heights.
