THX Slot Speaker



THX II Certified Car Audio System using THX Slot Speaker Technology


THX Slot Speaker technology redefines how speakers look and sound, transforming traditional circular speakers into narrow slot openings that can distribute sound to wider listening areas. Featured in 2010-2011 Lincoln cars, the Slot Speaker technology enables the THX II Certified 5.1 Surround system to widen the range and directivity of sound within the car’s cabin—without cluttering the dashboard with audio components.

THX Slot Speaker and Ground Plane

When listening to traditional PC speakers, sound reflecting from the desktop surface can add to the audio experience at low frequencies, but also cause interference with the direct sound at higher frequencies. The THX Ground Plane and Slot Speaker technologies make use of the desktop surface to improve the overall sound presentation across all frequencies.
