Discover the Possibilities in Elevated Imagery, Seating, and Sound

Now is the perfect time for homeowners to consider upgrading their media rooms in preparation for gatherings with family and friends. Whether you’re hosting movie marathons, game-day watch parties, or casual evenings in, a well-equipped media room can elevate every experience.

Upgrades to consider include enhanced surround sound, larger projection screens, improved seating, and smart lighting that sets the perfect mood. Integrating intuitive controls ensures a space that’s easy to use for guests and hosts alike.

Let’s explore the possibilities.

Taking Surround Sound to the Next Level

Many media rooms are equipped with traditional surround sound systems that engulf listeners on a horizontal plane. Dolby Atmos takes it to the next level with spatial audio technology that processes sound as objects.

This type of sound system requires in-ceiling speakers or Dolby Atmos-enabled upward-firing speakers to create the sensation of sound overhead as it occurs in real life. You’ll also need a compatible AV receiver.

This technology makes every sound distinct, from dialogue to raindrops, enveloping you in an immersive dome of audio. The result is audio so realistic that you feel like you’re in the center of the action, whether on the 50-yard line or the fairy tale realm of medieval Europe and the land of Duloc.

Advanced Home Projectors & Large Projection Screens

One of the essential ingredients for visuals so real you can suspend your disbelief and sink into the story is a video solution that is big enough to occupy your field of vision. Larger than life, it allows the on-screen action to unfold with minimal distractions.

Today’s 4K HDR laser projectors deliver exceptionally bright, detailed, high-contrast images in vibrant and accurate colors. These features come together to bring images to life in realistic textures and details. The experience becomes so captivating that you lose yourself, the time, and the place, relaxing into another world.

The latest projection screens are custom-designed for unique environments, from acoustically transparent to ambient light-rejecting screens. Some essential ingredients for success in this setup are the distance from the seating area to the screen, as well as the optimal room size.

Seating Designed for Your Lifestyle

There are as many different types of seating as there are media room designs. Some people prefer modular seating, which can be rearranged to suit the activity. Others create different spaces designed for the various activities they enjoy.

One area may have theater-style recliners and gaming chairs, while another has sectional or chaise lounges. Accent chairs create pockets of space for other activities, from enjoying appetizers and beverages to playing card games.

Lighting for Every Occasion

Media rooms may be used for numerous activities, from casual socializing to hosting elegant cocktail parties, getting friends together for the big game, and watching movies with the family. All these activities, and more, require different lighting to set the stage and create the ideal mood.

Adjustable recessed lighting, wall sconces, LED strip lighting, and striking statement lighting illuminate in varying colors and intensities, changeable by pressing a keypad, remote, or touchscreen.

Effortless Control

To ensure a seamless experience, consider integrating intuitive controls that let you press a button for all the activities you use this space for. Whether watching movies, entertaining, listening to music, or relaxing, you can effortlessly create the ideal atmosphere. With one touch, the lighting, shades, climate, and AV equipment adjust to the perfect settings.
