Featured Testimonial

The lighting solution in my new house is exactly right. We have cost-effective, flexible lighting which will adapt to future changes and has been easy for our electrical contractor to install. We are delighted with the way the lighting can be integrated with other features of the house such as security and the home cinema...''

Home Cinema Design

Having an Home Cinema in your home can be one of the most exciting experiences in all of Home Automation. It is fair to say that the actual cinema experience is very powerful and can be exhilarating if the quality of the installation is a match for the films which are to be seen there.

Home Cinema Design Considerations

The design of a home cinema starts with a drawing of the layout of the room which must show where the screen and projector are to go, where the people are to be seated, where the loudspeakers are to go (behind the screen or next to it?) and where the sound and playback equipment go so that it is discreet but accessible for loading discs and changing listening parameters.

Much of the design will be dictated by you, and the sort of films you will watch and how the family or audience interact with the home cinema. As well as the actual display and sound, consideration has to be made of the design of lighting systems, seating and window blinds for the most complete home cinema experience..

Converting Your Sitting Room to a Home Cinema

If the home cinema is to be dual usage, ie the room is normally a sitting room and becomes a cinema occasionaly then this must be carefully designed into the structure of the room for best effect in both cases. We will also need to decide how to get information about what is happening outside the cinema to the people inside if the door bell rings, or an intruder is detected in the house.

Find out how a home cinema can improve your home by contacting The Solent Electronic Home today to discuss your needs. Alternatively, call us for free on 023 8099 0029, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
