Home Theatre Design

Cinema is entertainment. You invite your friends to share a film with you or you watch with your family. Precious moments of shared experience and emotion.

What do you need to make this the best?

Simple controls, brilliant sound, fantastic video in motion, luxurious surroundings.

 

Having an Home Theatre in your home can be one of the most exciting experiences in all of Home Automation. It is fair to say that the actual movie 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 Theatre Design Considerations

The design of a home theatre 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 does 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, the owner, and the sort of films you will watch and how the family or audience interact with the home theatre. Will the films be watched in a darkened room or will daylight be required so that people can come and go to fetch drinks, for example.

Converting Your Sitting Room to a Home Theatre

If the theatre is to be dual usage, ie the room is normally a sitting room and becomes a theatre 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 theatre to the people inside if the door bell rings for example, or an intruder is detected in the house.
