THX certification

The good guy to introduce today is the THX series wall-mounted speaker KL-7800 from Jess. The THX certification is mentioned here. It is the abbreviation of Tomlinson Holman Experiment, which is the American Lucas Film Company. A system certification developed by the theater.

Shape and installation

The most striking feature of the KL-7800-THX is its 8-inch aluminum woofer, 1-inch titanium dome-shaped compression unit and matching square Tractrix® horn. The metal wire drawing process on the surface is full of texture. Exquisite workmanship and simplicity. In the design of the wiring port, it can be seen that the spring snap-on design is adopted, and only the buckle is pressed, the speaker cable is inserted and then released, and the card can be tightened, which is very user-friendly.
