*A prototype version exists, in which the text is set in a different font written in all capital letters. "The Audience is Listening" is also punctuated with an ellipsis, unlike the final version. The cloudy background appears very choppy and incomplete and the THX logo at the end appears to be the print version of the time in silver, likely a placeholder until the CGI animation of the logo was complete. This version can be also briefly glimpsed in the ''THX Story'' featurette seen on the aforementioned demo disc. | *A prototype version exists, in which the text is set in a different font written in all capital letters.

'''Music/Sounds''': Some chimes and wind howling. When the background opens, wind whistles, then various ascending notes and sounds, until a ''Star Wars'' laser-gun sound and a whooshing sound occur as the THX logo appears and ends with a choir-like version of the Deep Note. The sound for this trailer was apparently created at Skywalker Sound and, according to ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'', designed by David Slusser and Marco d'Ambrosio. | '''Music/Sounds''': Some chimes and wind howling.

'''Availability''': Rare. Alongside DTS's first trailer, this debuted on the original theatrical release of ''Jurassic Park'' (according to the 1998 Lucasfilm THX "The Audience is Listening on DVD" disc and the THX Ultimate Demo Disc), and then it was seen in all THX theaters from 1993 until 1997, as well as online, on the DVDs that came with second-edition and third-edition copies of the book ''DVD Demystified'' by Jim Taylor and on the 2002 Fox Five-Star Collection DVD release of ''Speed''. The "DELL PC" version is exclusive to the ''THX Picture and Sound Optimizer'' disc. | '''Availability''': Rare.

The DTS version is all but extinct, only being used on early DTS films such as the aforementioned ''Jurassic Park''; and it took until May 2022 for this variant to be discovered. | ||
'''Editor's Note''': The cloudy red background looks quite dated for the time, which is in sharp contrast to the beautiful silver CGI of the THX logo's grand appearance. | '''Editor's Note''': The cloudy red background looks quite dated for the time, which is in sharp contrast to the beautiful silver CGI of the THX logo's grand appearance. | ||
