Home Theater Installation

Home Theater In the world of residential audio visual, the words ‘Home Theater’ have many meanings to many people. The ambiguous nature of the term ‘Home Theater’ is one of the challenges we find when discussing solutions with our clients. When a client calls and wants a home theater, it is important that we ask many questions to qualify what their expectations are. A home theater could be a $500.00 “home theater in a box” or a $500,000.00 world class dedicated home theater. While budgetary constraints or a lack of education for the home theater experience make this the best solution for some, this type of system is not what we are referring to as it is really a “Media Room” . This is a multipurpose space typically outfitted with a flat screen TV, surround sound and flexible seating. A ‘Home Theater’ is a purpose built room designed to mimic the cinema experience. Room lighting is carefully controlled. Seating is arranged in rows, facing the large projection screen. Themed room décor recreates the look of the actual cinema but also provides acoustical absorption and diffusion in all the right places. These elements combine to provide a precise reproduction of what the director of the movie intended. Providing this type of experience takes skill and knowledge to produce and is the result of a comprehensive design approach embracing both form and function. The audio, video, lighting and environment combine to produce the “willing suspension of belief”. This phrase is used by movie makers to describe the phenomenon in which an audience, while watching a movie, is willing to accept it as reality. Without a willing suspension of disbelief, the audience will not relate to the movie and its characters or connect emotionally with them. Home theater to us means delivering an experience that immerses the client in the movie or music, an easy to operate environment that works as beautifully as it sounds, a place where you will be proud to entertain your friends, or relax with your family.
