To most people, home is where they can get shelter, but to others, it means more than just that. A house is supposed to be the place where the owner can get the best quality entertainment. And one way to achieve that is by having a home theatre system at home.
And contrary to what you may have thought before, a decent home theatre system benefits not only cinephiles but also audiophiles.
Now, let’s get into details!
Prepare the Room Correctly
To get the best acoustics from a room, you have to make some improvements on it first. First, soundproofing is the key to allowing you to have a boomy sound system without disturbing your neighbors. Even if the room you pick does not share a wall with your neighbor, the surround sound will still leak indoors and can be a potential problem in case other people in your house want to take a rest.
The most effective way to soundproof your theater room is by creating two or three layers of walls. And on the inner side, you should install several soundproofing foams to improve the distribution of sound waves there. Then, also use carpets on the floor, especially if its material deflects sound waves.
Choose the Speakers Wisely
You might be tempted with installing ceiling and in-wall speakers. Those sets indeed give a neater appearance to the room because all of the cables are planted inside the wall. However, you may not get the same result as the standard box system.
First, ceiling and in-wall speakers do not have cabinets that can make the sound more solid. It is most likely that you’ll end up with lo-fi sound if you use them. Second, bar speakers today are really good. If the cable setup is the thing that bothers you, then you should definitely try the bar speaker because most of them are bluetooth compatible.
Use the Right Sound Formats
No matter how techy your sound system is, if you play come low-grade movies with poor audio formats, the output will always be disappointing. You want sound formats that are not compressed. And films with such quality have Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master menus with them. As for the streaming service, you want a platform that enables 284 kps transfer rate. If it is lower than that, then your whole surround speakers will be no use.…
