Commentary
A special speaker system designed to reproduce the HOME THX Cinema advocated by LucasFilm.
It consists of six units : two front HTS-F2 speakers, two center HTS-C2 speakers, two surround HTS-S2 speakers, and the HTS-SW2 sub-woofer with built-in amplifier.
The front speaker HTS-F2 is a 3-way closed-type tall boy speaker that adopts a virtual coaxial system, and is equipped with a tilt mechanism exclusively for left and right.
It is equipped with two 16 cm PP cone woofers in the low range, an 8 cm cone scoker in the middle range, and a 2.5 cm soft dome type tweeter using neodymium magnet in the high range.
The terminal uses a gold plated screw type terminal for banana plug.
The HTS-C2 center speaker is a sealed-type center speaker using a virtual coaxial system. It is equipped with a center tilt function and can be adjusted from 30 degrees upward to 15 degrees downward.
The unit configuration is the same as that of the HTS-F2, and the terminal uses a gold plated screw terminal for banana plug.
The HTS-S2 surround speaker is a wall-mounted speaker that uses a dipole system with left and right units to improve sound spread.
The unit consists of two 13 cm PP cones and woofers in the low range and two 2.5 cm soft dome type tweeters in the high range.
The terminal uses a gold plated screw type terminal for banana plug.
The HTS-SW2 sub-woofer is a built-in amplifier that improves bass reproduction by dual drive system with left and right units.
