5 Simple Steps to Installing the Perfect Home Theater

Crafting the perfect home theater design can be a daunting task, whether it’s an upgrade to an existing room or a new construction project. It is important to plan out every detail in advance to ensure high-performance audio and video.  

Fusion can create a design that brings the perfect movie-watching experience into your home. With an integrator guiding you through the following steps, you’ll get a custom home theater you can show off to the entire neighborhood. 

1.       Pick Out the Perfect Screen

Special considerations need to be taken when deciding which brand, size or type of screen you want to use in your theater. Will there be natural light filtering into the room? A grey screen like the Stewart Filmscreen FireHawk can deflect unwanted light while providing high-quality images.

Do you want the screen to be viewed from every corner of the room or only from seats in the center of the room? This will affect how wide a viewing cone you want your theater’s screen to have. Always make sure your space is large enough to accommodate the screen you choose.

2.       Find the Most Comfortable Seating

Once you know what the reach of your screen’s viewing cone will be, you can create the ideal layout for your theater’s seating. Whether you want to incorporate a comfortable sofa or a leather lounge chair, Fusion has a variety of style and color options to match your décor. The seating is laid out to optimize viewing, making sure everyone gets an unobstructed view.

3.       Prepare Your Surround Sound

With your seating layout set, speakers can be expertly placed to optimize the sound for everyone in the room. There’s no need to worry about seating too close or far from the speakers when everything is meticulously planned ahead. With high-fidelity speakers like the Sonance Cinema series and acoustic treatments to the room, you’ll get high-performance audio to match the high-quality images on screen.   

4.       Set The Scene With Lighting 

Film lovers know that special feeling of anticipation in the theater when the lights dim and the show is finally ready to begin. Recreate the scene in your home with special lighting control from Crestron. Dim the lights for show time while keeping focused LED fixtures on to ensure visibility in the room without sacrificing the quality of your video.

5.       Get Centralized Control

There is one final step once your video, audio and lighting components are in place. Integrate all components into a smart home system with an easy-to-use interface that you can control from a touch pad, smartphone or tablet. Access all your movies from a central library and simply choose a predetermined ‘Cinema’ scene to dim the lights, turn up the volume and begin the movie.
