One element of high quality home theatre system (see 2004.0301-.0305) available and used in Canada c. 2000-2004. The donor, Dr. Paul Attallah is Associate Director, Mass Communications in the School of Journalism and Communications at Carleton University, Ottawa. His use of this home theatre for personal entertainment has also contributed to his understanding of the technical and perceptual attributes of new media technologies. The system was purchased from Bleeker Stereo & TV Ltd., Ottawa in stages between 2001 and 2004. This speaker (one of a set of 6) was purchased October 2, 2002 for 400.00(plus tax). [Total price of speaker set = 2,080.00 plus tax].

To amplify sound.

Technique

The term "home theatre" appears to have entered popular usage around 1990. It's first appearance in the index of the annual 'Consumer Reports Buying Guide' was in 1991, and an article devoted to the subject appeared in the March 1991 issue of the magazine. A "home theatre" is generally understood to consist of a large screen video display, a variety of video program sources, and a stereo or multi channel sound system. Until the mid- 1990s, home theatres depended on analogue sources like Laserdisc players or hi-fi stereo, S-VHS VCRs that conveyed a superior video signal while offering a 2-channel or 4-channel audio signal that could be fed either into a home stereo system or a special multi-speaker arrangement. Both picture and sound were far superior to the VCR-monophonic television tandem found in the vast majority of Canadian homes since about 1980. In the late 1990s, consumer electronics manufacturers and broadcasters introduced several commercially important innovations: DVD players, digital satellite or cable TV receivers, digital high definition television (HDTV) systems, and a variety of digital "surround sound" formats. In addition, the selection of video displays expanded. Home theatre audio technology evolved out of the systems developed for "surround sound" in movie theatres. MX1 design makes extensive use of reinforcement to stiffen and control the cabinets in order to improve sound performance. The driver in this speaker is coated with a ceramic film to enhance stiffness; the two drivers are very close together to smooth the sound when listening off-axis. Particularly well suited to digital surround systems like Dolby Digital. (Ref. 2) This speaker was one of a pair, mounted on a stand, and placed on either side of projection TV. mx1 speaker specifications: surround 2 way; 130 bass; 25mm tweeter; sensitivity 87dB/Watt/m; claimed 100Watts; impedance 8ohms. (Ref. 5)
