Experience the Immersive Cinematic Experience at Home

Have you been considering a luxury home theater for your home in Franklin Lakes, NJ? If so, you’re not alone. As the number of smart homes increase, so does the desire for the ultimate entertainment space.

So, what exactly is a luxury home theater? That definition varies widely, with some of our clients preferring reclining luxury tiered movie seats and others dreaming of overstuffed sofas and chaise lounges. There are, however, a few details that most luxury theaters have in common—the best sound system, correctly applied acoustic treatments, and lifelike images that immerse the viewer in each scene.

The Sound System

The ultimate sound system is the critical element in creating a space where viewers can suspend their disbelief, the goal of the immersive cinematic experience. Dolby Atmos offers a lifelike three-dimensional soundscape.

High-performance speakers are installed in ceilings and walls to deliver sound above, below and around you. Some of our clients also appreciate the high-fidelity tower loudspeakers that bring beauty and depth. You feel the roar of the wind rush around you as the storm approaches and hear the soft rustle of the leaves as it departs.

Acoustic Treatments

The acoustic treatments ensure you can truly appreciate the big action scenes and the subtle expressions in an actor’s voice. Addressing any acoustical issues allows you to leave this world for a few hours and enter another realm, whether a jungle in the Yucatan, an alien planet, or the bright lights of New York City. 

A room's shape, size, and furnishings can significantly affect sound performance. The appropriate acoustic treatments strategically placed can control the reflections, the main goal of creating great sound. It prevents distortion and flattened sound fields, ensuring that you enjoy the ultimate experience in every seat. Today’s acoustic materials come in just about every size and design, with some offering custom applications to blend in seamlessly with your home theater’s aesthetics. 

The Image 

While there are some great projectors on the market that just keep getting better, we’re partial to Sony’s latest native 4K HDR laser projectors that offer incredible pictures for the large screen. This brand has been on both sides of the fence, making movies like Spider-Man and Skyfall and providing projectors for world-class movie theaters. Their goal is to create a lifelike image as the director intended, and they succeed. 

Some of our clients are surprised to learn that the screen is as important as the projector. It enhances an image and is chosen based on the amount of lighting in a room and the distance from the projector to the screen. The result is a picture that takes you into the center of the scene and leaves you breathless until the curtain falls.
