Home Theater Installation in Atlanta

Home Theater Design in Atlanta: Dedicated Theater or Media Room

Home theater design in Atlanta starts with a plain question: is this room only for watching, or does it still have to be a family room? A dedicated theater can take controlled light, seating aimed at the screen, and acoustic treatment. A media room is a living room, bonus room or bedroom with a large screen and surround sound that still works on a Tuesday.

Custom home theater design in Atlanta is the same idea drawn for one house. Intown rooms were often built as parlors, bedrooms or additions. A long, narrow living room and a square bonus room do not want the same screen or the same speaker positions. We measure seating distance before we talk about a projector or a TV. Plenty of ITP houses are better as a strong media room than as a theater fighting the windows and the street. We will say that out loud.

Sony displays and projectors are what we put in front of clients. The rest of the house can share whole house audio in metro Atlanta if you want music outside the theater.

Acoustics

We start with the room, not a package of panels. Speaker placement, seating distance and screen size are one decision, because moving the seats changes both the picture and the bass. Doors, stairs and a fireplace dictate where a speaker can actually go.

Acoustic treatment, when the room can take it, is placed for that room. In a shared media room we keep it visually quiet so the space still looks like the rest of the house. A windowless bonus room can take more. A street-facing living room in Midtown usually cannot, and the design should admit that.

Calibration

After the equipment is in, we calibrate it. That means speaker levels and distances, the subwoofer checked from the seats people use, and the display or projector set for the light in that room. A bright living room and a dark bonus room are not calibrated the same way. We do this before we call the job finished, and we show you the remote while we are still there.

How an Atlanta Theater Installation Goes

Call or the form

Tell us the neighborhood and what the room is used for now. Photos of the room and a floor plan help. We reply within one business day.

Walk-through

We measure seating distance, note windows and doors, and find a place for the equipment that is not a coat closet you still need.

Written quote

The theater is custom quoted. After the walk-through you get a written, line-itemed proposal for that room, and you can add or drop pieces before you commit. How we price.

Wire, then install

If the walls are open, we run speaker, network and video cable before drywall. If the house is finished, we use the attic, a basement or a closet and tell you where a wireless option is the better call.

Calibration and handoff

We calibrate the picture and the speakers, set the lighting scene, and walk through the remote before we leave. After that you call the same number.
