THX Evolves with HDMI Cable Range Plus Installer Training Program

One of the undisputed biggest names in home cinema, THX, has announced it is launching THX Interconnect, designed in partnership with Pixelgen.

THX Interconnect is a family of Ultra-High-Speed HDMI 2.1b cables capable of delivering 100% uncompressed 48Gbps signalling. The company says it can "optimise the fidelity and reliability of nearly any sized or configured home theatre system". 

As part of the company's commitment to continuous improvement, THX has also announced the relaunch of its highly acclaimed THX Certified Training series. This series and THX Interconnect were prominently featured at the CEDIA Expo in Denver, Colorado, in September 2023, marking a new era in home theatre installation and training.

Jason Fiber, Chief Executive Officer, THX Ltd, told StereoNET:

The THX mission is to empower high-fidelity entertainment, regardless of where and how consumers want to enjoy movies, music and games. The THX Interconnect cables ensure all home theatre components work in harmony at the highest resolutions, regardless of the length. We are pleased to bring home theatre enthusiasts around the globe this cost-effective and incredibly reliable new solution. We also look forward to reintroducing the THX Certified Training program which has been dormant for a few years but is back due to overwhelming demand from the home theatre installation industry.

The cables come in nine lengths to meet the needs of nearly any setup, home theatre, or private cinema. Utilising Pixelgen's PXLGLASS Hybrid Fiber/Copper technology, the THX Interconnect cables maintain the smallest cable diameter possible regardless of length when crossing over from copper to long-reach optical fibre requirements, making installation and management easy and effective.

Available now and ranging in price from £39 to £399, THX Interconnect Ultra High-Speed HDMI cables support the maximum 8-10K resolutions at 60 frames per second and include: 

  • THX Interconnect (Copper) short-range cable for six sizes: 0.5m (1.64 ft), 1m (3.28 ft), 1.5m (4.92 ft), 2m (6.56 ft), 3m (9.84 ft), 5m (16.4 ft); and,
  • THX Interconnect (Copper + Optical Fiber with embedded PXLGLASS Technology) long-range cable for three sizes: 7.6m (24.9 ft), 10m (32.8 ft), 15m (49.2 ft).

At the CEDIA Expo, THX reintroduced its ever-popular THX Certification Training for home theatre installers, distributors, and enthusiasts. The first THX Level One trainings were held at CES in January and will be held at future CEDIA/ISE Expos. Training will be led by industry luminary Gerry Lemay, the founder of the Home Acoustics Alliance (HAA) and president of Quest Acoustical Interiors, who has taught hundreds of key CEDIA industry courses over the years.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
