Product Description

THX is the A/V equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This label appears only on products that meet or exceed a stringent set of technical standards, established by engineers at world-renowned Lucasfilm Ltd. - notably responsible for the Star Wars films. The cables used in large quantities in home theater to connect components can be subject to frequency response and noise problems if not designed and constructed properly. Monster THX I100SW-16 is built to the most exacting specifications, ensuring the broadest bandwidth and most uncolored signal that's technically possible. To quote George Lucas: "The combination of THX and 5.1 digital sound is the absolute assurance that consumers can now experience the finest sound reproduction from their Home Theater."

Manufacturer's Description
DVD and Satellite Receivers use high performance connections like S-Video, Component Video, and Dolby Digital Surround Audio. Using high quality connections is more important than ever, to get the most out of these technologies.

That's why THX, the industry leader in sound quality certification for movie theatres (you've probably seen the famous THX logo in movie theatres and on DVDs), collaborated together with Monster Cable, to create connection standards specifically for home theatre.

The cables that come in the box don't meet Monster THX standards. Some of the connections you need don't even come in the box, including S-Video, Component Video, and Digital Audio for Surround Sound.

Although Monster Standard THX cable doesn't feature many of the advanced technologies found in our higher performance product lines, it still packs plenty of Monsterous features: higher quality gold tip connections, user-friendly features like color-coded connectors & ID labels for easy, error-free hookup, plus increased power handling of speaker cables to deliver the full dynamic range of explosions and crashes found in today's movies. And dig the stylish, futuristic connector design inspired by Lucasfilm's Star Wars epics.

Customer Reviews

too rigid
Good quality cable for a good price, despite the usual expensive price tag for Monster Cable products. A bit too thick and rigid, but it works well.

Does what it should
I didn't want to trust a cheaper cable on my system. I went with this one because it's at the right price for the length. I also needed a slightly longer cable. This works great, it does exactly what it should do.

Nice Interconnect!
I received this Subwoofer Interconnect Cable yesterday and installed it right away. The 12 foot length is great; I can virtually place my sub anywhere I want. The cable itself is nice and thick and feels sturdy, unlike the cheap cable I use to have. I am not a "Monster" brand fan because their wires are usually way over priced, but I got this thing for about 1/4 what it costs at Best Buy or Circuit City. Given the price and the quality, this was a good deal.
