The Right Equipment

You have several things to consider when setting up your home theater system. Selecting the right equipment is a good — and essential - place to start. You’ll need a projector, screen, speakers, and control system. And that’s just for the functionality of the theater.

Most often, a projector is the display of choice to produce a cinematic picture in a home theater. As such, it’s important to not only have the right projector for your space and content, but also the right screen to display it for you to view.

One of the best things about cinema is its ability to visually bring a story to life. When done properly, it is powerful and realistic. But in order to achieve that effect, the right equipment must be in place in order to deliver that experience.

Sony, one of our trusted brand partners, offers displays that produce lifelike images with crisp details, vibrant color, and just the right contrast and texture that make the story on the screen come to life.

Additionally, speaker selection is vital in the movie-viewing experience as well. Incorporate hidden speakers that sit flush within the walls or ceiling for surround sound that is only heard — not seen. Or if you want to make more of a statement with your speaker selection, bring in high-performance floor-standing speakers for audiophile-quality sound.

Of course, it’s important to note that deciding on this equipment can be influenced and determined by your room’s setup and dimensions.

 

Room Dimensions and Layout

As you may already know, room dimensions refer to more than just the measurements. It means understanding the shape and exact layout of the space. Is it long and narrow, wide, or more of a square? Are there nooks where you’ll be placing extra seating that you want the sound to reach to without sacrificing quality?

Moreover, consider whether you’ll be adding a lot of décor or the type of seating you’ll be incorporating. Extra furniture and decoration can impact the way sound is dispersed throughout the room. This doesn’t mean that you need to avoid adding any of it — simply be aware of where and what each item is located in order to best strategize how to set up the room.
