1. Design
Many components contribute to a cohesive home theater design and making all the decisions yourself can quickly become overwhelming. An experienced home theater installer can help you navigate design aspects like seating layout, screen placement, speaker placement, lighting, carpeting and flooring, and paint color. Electronic Concepts has years’ worth of experience designing unique and stunning home theater systems for our clients. If you’d like to see for yourself, check out our Instagram here!
2. Room Treatments
A theater room’s shape, size, and construction have significant effects on the room’s acoustics. Hiring an integrator to install professional room correction treatments ensures that you end up with the best sound experience possible. Uncontrollable sound waves bouncing around the theater cause jarring, reverberating, muddy, and echoing audio while you’re watching a movie or TV.
Acoustic treatments absorb or diffuse sound waves to control reverberation and echo. Your integrator will identify trouble areas in your theater room during the installation process and recommend the best treatment to correct the sound experience.
3. Equipment Calibration
Very rarely does AV equipment leave the factory with perfect image and sound settings for your room. That’s why professional calibration is one of the most valuable services your integrator will provide during the installation process. Our team will calibrate the display screen for contrast, grayscale/whiteness, sharpness, and color to reproduce the most accurate, detailed, and vivid image quality possible. Additionally, we’ll calibrate the sound system to correct for volume, delays, and frequency distribution to ensure you hear the optimal audio performance from your system.
4. Centralized Room Control
Consider how relaxing a trip to the movies is: all you have to do is show up, sit down, and let the film unroll before you. The viewing experience in your home theater should be just as easy and stress-free. As part of your professional theater installation, our team will centralize control of your entire theater room under one operating system like Savant. You’ll be able to use a smartphone, tablet, or universal remote to control the audio, video, lighting, and temperature in your home cinema, and even the rest of your home!
