Home Cinema Installation
Custom Home Cinema Installation
Custom home Cinema Installation: a harmoniously-integrated music, video, and/or control system created specifically to meet the client's performance and visual aesthetic requirements, achieved through careful product selection, clever installation design, and meticulous implementation.
We treat custom home Cinema installation as a process. Each project begins with a careful and thorough design interview. We determine your needs first by listening, then later by asking probing questions. We suggest possibilities. We discuss your lifestyle -- daily routine, entertaining needs, special requirements for kids and guests. If needed we'll visit your home or construction site. Attuned to your needs, we then design a system and implementation plan specifically for you. Indeed, we may design several systems, showing you the costs / benefits of different performance levels or system features.
A Taste of What's Possible With a Home Cinema System
To an audiophile with a dedicated room, custom home Cinema installation might mean a proud display of electronic components on beautiful award-winning "art furniture", highlighted by halogen spotlights. Yet to another audiophile, custom home Cinema installation might mean carefully concealing all the electronics, cables, subwoofers, and maybe even speakers.
In a multi-room whole-house system, custom home Cinema installation might mean a music-immersed lifestyle, with hidden in-wall speakers in every room, and higher-performance speakers in the den. It might mean outdoor speakers that look like rocks, or underwater speakers for the in-ground pool. It might mean an easy-to-use, custom programmed portable color touchscreen control system, or it might mean simple keypads in the walls.
Aesthetic Custom Home Cinema Integration with Architecture and Interior Design
Most of our clients relish wonderful architecture. They appreciate outstanding interior design. They admire craftsmanship. And, of course, they love music and movies. So do we.As audio / video professionals, we form a team with your architect, your interior designer, and your craftsmen. Each discipline brings its expertise and experience to bear on the common goal: create the best space possible for you and your needs. Together the team members propose ideas, improve them, and incorporate them into an overall design.
Sometimes there are tradeoffs. The best-sounding speaker might be too visually prominent. Or the room dimensions might be acoustically unfortunate. Or wallpaper in the home theater might tint the video green. In these tradeoff situations, we don't advocate; we educate. Once we've informed you of the multi-disciplinary consideration, you can then make your best decisions.
A few words about aesthetics. We want your room to "feel" right. As you enter a room, you immediately see it -- the architecture, the interior design, the construction details, the lighting. Next, you hear it -- the sense of acoustic space, the reverberations, the music playing. You may also smell it -- fresh-baked cookies or new leather chairs. You may perceive its textures -- wall surfaces, fabrics, flooring. Often, the non-visual design considerations are overlooked. We help our clients create a complete environment, one that pleases all the senses.
