This guide will help you design and build a home theater. Once you know your available space and budget for your home theater project, you can starting selecting equipment. This series will deal with what's involved in building a home theater and not delve into specific product selection. Technology is fast moving and today's new hot equipment can become yesterday's news very quickly. We've learned how to setup a small shared space and now we'll dig into what you need to lookout for when you have a medium shared space available.
Home Theater Environment for a Medium Shared Space
A home theater room design in a medium shared space instead of a small shared space will require more thought since a large TV screen and more powerful audio equipment will be required. Some may still prefer the all-in-one home theater package but in general, separate system components and handpicked home theater speakers/powered subwoofers solutions would offer greater performance and flexibility in the larger space.
It's Important to Fill the Room With Audio
Don't cut corners on audio when you have a larger shared space to use for your home theater, because you will need enough sound power to fill your entire home theater space to have an immersive experience. You will want to make sure that your system components carry the appropriate THX certification. High current power rated audiovisual receiver will deliver both a clearer, louder, and more realistic sound to your home theater.
Tips On Selecting Your Big Screen TV
Know the viewing distances and how many people will be viewing at a time when selecting a big screen TV for your home theater. It's best to select the largest screen possible that your layout and budget will allow.
Tips on Designing Your Home Theater Layout
Make sure that your audience can all be comfortably seated without any obstructions between them and the TV. We suggest not using more than a single row of seats in a shared environment. Know that optimal viewing means that your viewers should have their eyes level with the center of the TV screen. Next time we'll concentrate in more detail on how to best design a dedicated home theater room.
