When you envision an amazing dedicated home theatre in Edmonton, AB, you probably think of an excellent 4K projector, immersive surround sound, and watching your favorite summer blockbusters in a cozy chair. But custom theatre rooms are more than just the sum of their parts – they fully envelope you in a cinematic world. To do that it takes more than just the most up-to-date technology. You have to pay attention to every detail. This blog will shine a light on some of the most commonly overlooked aspects of home theatre design, and where you can improve and enhance yours for an unforgettable experience.

Room acoustics indicate how sound waves interact within a room. Every room reacts differently to the variety of sound frequencies, primarily because of the objects in it, and every speaker sounds different when in a different room. When you partner with Home Theatre Solutions for a fully-equipped private cinema room, acoustics are a vital component considered as we design and engineer your space…and for good reason.

The next time you sit down to watch a movie or listen to music, think about the ways – good and bad – that your room may be affecting the overall sound of your system. A basic understanding of room acoustics (and speaker placement) can help you maximize the performance of any audio or home theatre playback.

Imagine that room empty, with hardwood floors and bare drywall. That’s going to have a lot of echoes, right? Now imagine the same room with carpets, thick drapes, plush seating and bookcases or even a private concession counter. Suddenly the room has a quieter, more intimate feel. The fact is, these are the extremes of room acoustics, and the perfect home theatre experience exists somewhere between the extremes.
