Despite the vast improvements in the latest high-performance soundbars, there is still a tremendous difference between a traditional TV and soundbar and a professionally installed sound system. A Dolby Atmos surround sound system offers an immersive multi-dimensional sound field that takes you to the center of the action.
It offers a natural sense of envelopment with in-wall and in-ceiling high-performance speakers placed around and above you. Subwoofers deliver the impressive bass so important to special effects and the sound that you can feel as well as hear.
Sound bounces off hard surfaces in a room if there are no materials to absorb it. This results in a home theater with echoes and noise, also known as reverberation. Absorptive panels keep the sound waves from bouncing around, but too many can leave the room sounding “dead.” With the proper treatment, the high-fidelity sound fills the air and immerses the listeners in a balanced, detailed, and spacious soundstage.
Acoustical optimization is a critical component of home theater design and takes extensive experience to perfect. Designers and integrators must consider the use of the room. For some, a home theater is the space that defines movie-viewing excellence. Others also use the space for video gaming and enjoying sporting events with family and friends. Each of these spaces demands unique considerations.
Many homeowners consider the quality of their projector when designing a home theater, but your screen is just as important. One of the brands we partner with, Stewart Filmscreen, is considered the gold standard for home theater projector screens. In fact, they are the only screen manufacturer to win Academy Awards for technical merit.
Their screens deliver true, life-rendering colors, enabling you to see the images as the director intended. For this reason, and many more, they are used by major movie production companies in screening rooms and for post-production editing.
Stewart’s custom-designed screens come in over 25 different materials, enabling us to choose just the right screen for the varying factors, such as ambient lighting, room seating, and throw distances. Their optional screen perforation lets us place speakers behind the screen, creating the big theater sound and aligning the audio with the action sequences.
