How Does a Custom Home Theater Differ From Retail Options?
A custom home theater system is an immersive entertainment experience. Every inch of your room is planned out to get the most out of your technology and space. We find the best equipment for the room, optimize it for sound and visual quality, and even work with you to design a unique theme. Below we take a look at some of the benefits of a professionally installed home theater.
Figuring Out the Layout for Your Room
The success of your Maui
home theater system comes down to having the right layout in place as well as the right technology. Below we take a look at some of the things you need to consider when designing your brand-new entertainment system:
- What kind of screen do you want in your home theater?
- The size of your screen will affect the seating arrangement for the room, which will then determine where to place your speakers:
- Screen Size: As a rule of thumb, for a 120" screen you want to be at least 12 feet from the images to reduce strain and to see the picture clearly without having to move your eyes.
- Screen Viewing Cone: Image quality will diminish as you move away from the center of the screen. Once your screen is installed, we ensure all seating is neatly placed within your screen viewing cone: this signifies how wide you can go before you start seeing a drop in image quality.
- What kind of surround sound do you want in your home theater system?
- This will determine how many speakers you’ll have in your room and where they need to be located. We ensure all speakers are equidistant to the viewers, so no one is stuck with audio that is too loud or too low.
- Traditional Surround Sound: These systems include five or seven speakers and one subwoofer. Speakers are installed in front, to the side, above, and behind the viewer.
- Dolby Atmos: For the best, most –realistic sound you should upgrade to a Dolby Atmos system.
- Separate sounds into distinct objects so they can move within a 3-dimensional space:
- For example: Hear a plane literally flying overhead as the sound travels from speaker-to-speaker above the viewer.
Expert Advice on What Equipment Works Best For Your Space
Once we have a general idea what you’re looking for in your home theater system, we help you find the right equipment:
- Choosing the right screen:
- Depending on your room's limitations, we help you find the right size, color, and texture for your screen. For example, in places with a lot of ambient light, you want to go with a darker gray or black screen. If you want a discreet option, we can offer motorized screens that retract into the ceiling.
- Choosing the right speakers:
- We offer the latest state-of-the-art technology when it comes to your speakers. Invest in Dolby-Atmos enabled speakers for truly realistic sound and, if you have space restraints, we also offer in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
