A home theater is a dedicated space optimized for audio and visual performance. It typically features specialized seating, acoustic treatment, and advanced equipment. But you don’t need an expansive room to enjoy cinema-grade entertainment at home. In fact, even a single room can be designed to host epic movie nights, family game night, or sporting events in high definition and surround sound.
The heart of a home theater system is a large TV, projector, and screen, but an equally essential component is the AV receiver, which acts as an amplifier and signal processor. All audio and video input signals, as well as your streaming devices’ network connections, must pass through the receiver before reaching the projector or speakers. A quality AV receiver will improve the quality of your home theater system and provide a wide range of useful features.
An AV receiver can also be used to control your smart home and connect to the internet, but many homeowners choose to separate the two components for added flexibility. Smart home integration will allow you to use voice control, control lighting and other appliances in the home, and stream movies directly to the TV, but it can also complicate the setup process and cause unforeseen issues with your media playback. A professional installer can help you decide whether smart integration is right for your home, and will make sure your new technology works correctly.
While HDTVs offer stunning images, they don’t give you the big, immersive home theater sound that you’d get in a real cinema. Adding a home theater speaker system will elevate your experience, bringing lifelike sound that brings your favorite shows and movies to life.
Home theater systems can be purchased from mass merchandisers, online, or through an audio-visual specialist. Advantages of buying from a major retailer or online are lower cost and faster set-up, but you may not get the best quality equipment. If you want a great home theater experience, consider hiring a New York professional installer. Professionals stay up to date with the latest technology and installation techniques, ensuring your system will be future-proofed and can support upgrades easily.
