This quality control has its origin at the beginning of the 80s next to the Star Wars Episode V. That was the time when George Lucas, the owner of Lucas film, the company that would create the THX, noticed that the audio quality of movies in most cinemas didn’t fulfill the movie producer’s expectations in terms of fidelity.

These deficiencies led George Lucas to hire Tomlinson Holman, an audio expert, to perform several studies during the production of Star Wars: Episode VI, determine the ideal acoustic condition for cinemas and supervise the mixing techniques in the postproduction of the movie. The objective was clear: the original soundtrack of the final product had to represent what the director and the composer wanted to transmit faithfully. Both the first cinema room and the first movie with a THX certification, Star Wars: Episode VI (Los Angeles in 1983).


The origin of this acronym is uncertain. It makes reference to George Lucas’ first movie, THX 1138. It is also commonly believed that it stands for Tomlinson Holman experiment.

Some years later, several versions of this intro appeared, and each of them finished with the common Deep Note Sound.
