Home Theater Projectors
When it comes to your theaters display, we recommend avoiding a flatscreen and instead going with a projector-and-screen combination. Projectors offer larger-than-life images without sacrificing quality or taking over your project’s budget. We work with Barco projectors for a lot of our home theater designs. Integrating the same technology found in their commercial cinema models, their 4K projectors feature the company’s proprietary RealColor technology for greater clarity and vibrancy. Their low-latency models are ideal for those that would like to use their theater for gaming sessions. With a wide range of brightness levels available, it’s easy to find a model for dedicated spaces as well as those with ample ambient lighting.
Surround Sound
We recommend a Dolby Atmos surround sound set up that generally includes speakers in front, beside, behind and above the viewer to create a 3-dimensional soundstage. This object-based sound format provides 360-degree sound setup that brings your movies and TV shows to life when paired with high-performance speakers.
Our go-to for many of our home theater designs is the Bowers and Wilkins CT800 line. Though the speakers are practically invisible once installed, the sound is all-encompassing. Experience the ultimate clarity, power and control with these three-way closed box speakers that incorporate the high-end audio manufacturer’s trademark technology including Nautilus tubes for added clarity and Rohacell drivers for unprecedented bass performance.
Theater Additions
If you want to take your theater to the next level, you'll need to add some final touches to make your cinema that much more special. You can start by in seating as there are some high-end reclinable chairs that are perfect for creating a luxurious and comfortable environment. Additionally, you can also add a smart lighting control system that can sync with your entertainment system and dim the lights when your movie or TV show begins to play for an extra flair of automation that provides a cinema-worthy experience in your home.
Acoustic Treatments
You can get the best speakers, but if your space has built-in issues, you can lose out on a lot of audio quality. For this reason, while you should focus on researching and selecting the best speaker systems for your home theater, you should also consider different acoustic treatments that prevent sound distortion and echoes to ensure you get the most out of your theater.
