THX and HAA

THX and HAA have always shared a common vision about technical guidelines and the value of understanding the science of home cinema acoustics. In fact, HAA was originally inspired by a need to take the acoustical design requirements of THX into an advanced workshop setting providing more in-depth training for professional integrators. The best practices and requirements of both organizations have always been in sync. As HAA also partnered with CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association) since 2020, the best home cinema training can be found in one place.

The new THX Level One is a great combination of fascinating information on THX and the fundamentals of designing a great home cinema. It is highly recommended not only as an entry point for advanced certification for integrators but as a valuable primer for interior designers, project managers, sales staff, and anyone interfacing with clients pondering a home cinema. It’s extremely interesting and provides necessary insight for anyone involved in the industry.

The THX Level One is an introductory seminar focusing on cinema design and acoustical fundamentals from the THX perspective. It will also cover the contributions by THX to the advancement of video and sound reproduction in the consumer electronics world. Created in 1986, THX is credited with bringing many of the design and calibration concepts it developed for movie studios and commercial cinemas to consumer products. Many of the elements we find in current audio products were first introduced by THX. It’s fair to say they revolutionized the sound quality possible in the home cinema.

In addition to the knowledge presented by the THX Level One class, students can earn THX Level One certification achieved by online testing. Successful students will be allowed to use the THX Adviser logo in their business and be found on the THX Professional Installer database. This also allows them to enter the HAA Advanced training track by taking the HAA Level Two and HAA Level Three workshops. Successful completion of each workshop will earn students the corresponding THX Level Two then THX Level Three certifications and the right to use their respective logos.
