Home Theatre

Watching a film in the cinema gives the viewer an experience incomparable to watching it on a standard television with stereo sound. The screen is larger, the picture is clearer but the largest difference is the sound. Bullets flying past your ears, explosions you can feel, and atmospheric effects all add up to the ultimate, fully immersive, cinematic experience. 

Home Cinema: More Than Just a Pretty Screen

With the introduction of HD movies on Blu-ray and satellite, the picture quality of the cinema is readily available. With the addition of a surround sound system, you have all the components for a cinematic experience in the comfort of your own home . We can help you choose the components that will best suit your budget, design scheme, and room layout.

Not All Home Theatre Rooms Are Made Equal

Like light, sound travels in straight lines until something stops it. In an ideal home theatre, the sound would stop once you hear it. Unfortunately, physics won't allow this and the sound will continue to bounce around the room until it has run out of energy. The things we like to have in our homes such as large windows, wooden floors, high ceilings and glass coffee tables all give something for the sound to bounce on. What we will do is take these things into account and can suggest ways to make your home theatre sound as the director intended. Whether you want to use your living room as a movie room occasionally or you want to convert the garage into a multiplex, we will be there to assist you every step of the way.

Pressing The Right Buttons: Home Theatre Controls

Now you have a TV, Sky, Blu-ray player, and surround sound; who will hold all of those remotes? What if you could turn on the Blu-ray player, turn on the tv and switch it to the HDMI input, turn on the amplifier and ensure that the audio from the Blu-ray player is selected by pressing one button? Wouldn't that be much simpler? We have experience in control systems that will link all of your equipment together seamlessly as if it was one device.

Let There Be Light Dark

If you're looking for something special, we also install a lighting system that will work alongside a cinema control system. The magic here is that by pressing play on your remote control, the living room lights will dim themselves down to a low level so that you can fully immerse yourself into the movie. This is where it gets clever though: if you pause the movie, the lights will come back up again. If you wish, we can install a door bell that will pause the film for you and bring the lights up so you can answer the door. What we're trying to say is that your wish can be programmed to be a command.
