Home Theater Installation
Serving: North Idaho & Spokane Washington Areas
Here at Media Controlled, we are a leading home theater sales and installation company. We can help to revolutionize entertainment in your home.
A home theater system (also known as a home cinema system) is one that combines a number of different electronic components, which are designed to recreate the experience of what it feels like to watch a film when you go to the cinema. There is no denying that this is a much more enjoyable experience. You will be more immersed into the movie if you watch it on a home theater system rather than simply watching it on an ordinary television.
Components of a home theater system
The components of a home theater system (home cinema system) typically include a high resolution projector or a large flat panel, surround sound speakers and amplifiers, a surround sound processor, video/audio source components and a remote control with programming to automate the system, making it easier to control.
Surround Sound
Full 360-degree panorama sound can be recreated by strategically locating speakers around the room. This allows different parts of the soundtrack of the movie to match the video. This “steering” properly locates the sound and creates a more realistic and immersive effect. 5.1 surround sound is the starting point of any surround sound system.
Screen Types
Large screens are important to create a “theater” experience. Whether it is done through a projection system or an OLED, LCD or QLED flat panel, the visual experience is greatly heightened when using a large and clear display. Technology has brought us high definition resolutions of 1080p, 4K and 8K which reproduce crystal clear images for a stunning experience.
Remote Controls & Programming
A Remote Control helps streamline the operation of the various components that make up a home theater. This makes navigating the system a more user-friendly experience. A remote control can now make your home a smart home, adding wireless control of light and temperature adjustments and even shade control.
Choosing the Best Room in your house for your theater
A few important things to keep in mind when choosing the most suitable room for your home theater:
- Large enough to accommodate the home theater components
- It should have enough room for comfortable seating
- A place where certain equipment can be stored out of sight
- Preferably no windows, no outside light.
- High ceilings for mounting projection gear
- Preferably located away from other bedrooms
- Tiered flooring for better seating arrangements
- Sound-proofed walls
