From your speaker package to the layout, we can help you decide on the crucial factors that will impact your home theater.
First, you need to think about your home space. The room size will impact your display screen and sound systems. If your room is smaller, for example, it might be easier to work with a projector.
Home theaters often lack windows and have fixed seating. A relaxed media room can move things around and may work better with freestanding tech like a centre speaker.
Think about your WiFi connection too. Will poor signal affect playback if you’re streaming?
Source components are the tech that plays your media, such as:
You may even have a smart TV, which offers built-in streaming. This in turn will affect your tech. Rear speakers are ideal for an immersive theater experience, whereas an amplifier could work for pumping out your favourite playlist.
Speaker packages offer several options, from Sony Soundbars to full-on Dolby Atmos for that immersive experience. You may choose integrated wall or ceiling speakers, or Bluetooth wireless speakers for mobility.
You’ll need to think about how your tech links up. An AV receiver works with inputs like HDMI to display images and play sound from multiple sources.
For full home theaters, the ‘golden ratio’ is H (Height) x 1.28H (Width) x 1.54H (Length/Depth). This means multiplying the ceiling height by these values.
Media rooms work better with projectors, offering various screen sizes and layouts. Brands such as Samsung offer up to 292-inch 4K displays, ideal for flexibility and crystal clear imagery. If yours is a fixed screen and you want sharp contrasts, think about an OLED or LCD display.
Home theaters and media rooms allow you to personalize your entertainment experience. You can customize lighting and sound settings remotely, while enjoying either immersive cinema viewing or relaxed music and gaming.
With a huge range of best-selling brands including Denon, Kef, DTS:X, Marantz and Sonos, you can enjoy the best sound. Meanwhile, viewing is almost limitless thanks to integrations with streaming services and physical media.
Your home theater or media room is your space to be entertained and socialize. Your property’s value might even increase as well!
A home theater or media room is a significant investment – but they more than pay for themselves. While there’s no exact figure, a whole installation might start at five figures.
If you’re just paying for individual technologies, this could lower the price. A regular price for source components, for example, usually hovers around the $1,285 mark.
