Home Theater Steamboat Springs. The room is considered by many experts to be the significant part of a home theater system. Is that true? Absolutely. This is a challenging question and books are written on this subject. I have attended more than 30 hours of training on this subject. I will give a brief summary here and in an article to come.

The one of biggest issues for a home theater system is that of room modes. Bass frequencies, from 20 to 200 hz, are longer than most rooms. Rooms modes are the result of the reflection of these bass frequencies back in the room and mixing with the original wavelength. These frequencies are then canceled or added together in the room.

Home Theater Steamboat Springs. There are several ways to deal with this problem. More important than any other factor is the shape of the room. By designing the right room shape, we can improve the room mode issue. Other ways of dealing with this issue are installing absorptive materials and placing the speakers in the best locations.

In a following chapter, we will look at some other issues which affect a room’s sound.

Home Theater Steamboat Springs. When we are consulting with our clients about creating a surround sound experience, they frequently inquire as to whether this can be accomplished in the living room.  Unfortunately, this is rarely not possible.  This is because the room is not designed for the purpose of creating a surround sound experience.  The living room has a different purpose, which is at odds with creating a movie theater audio experience.

The best course would be to create quality stereo sound in the living room.  You must pay attention to the design requirements for creating theater like audio in a room in your home.  If you disregard these requirements, you will fail.  If you want surround sound in your home, then move out of the living room.  Choose a room where you can focus on locating the speakers in their proper locations, and where the chairs can be in proper relation to the speaker placement.  Give us a call.  We would love to come out and talk with you about the options in your home.

Home Theater Steamboat Springs. I am often asked if it really helps to calibrate a TV. Yes, it most certainly does. There are many reasons for this. By calibrating your TV, you will see the image that the artist intended you to see. This is the best picture.

If you try to do by your eye, you will not be able to get the kind of TV setup that gives you the best picture. Most TVs have been setup to show themselves best in a very bright store environment. They don’t care about presenting an image which is true to the artists intention, or to real life. They are more concerned about differentiating their TV from the competition. That means brighter and more contrasty settings on the TV.

The brightest picture is not the best picture. You will not see the details darker parts of the picture, the colors will not be accurately adjusted or saturated, and the picture may appear to fuzzier or not as sharp as it should be.

By calibrating the TV, you will see the image as the artist intended you to see it. Now you will be seeing the best picture. And you will add to the life of the bulb or TV and save energy too. So by all means, calibrate your TV.

Home Theater Steamboat Springs. If your system does not yet include a Bluray Player, then you may want to install one one.  Nothing shows off your home theater better than a Bluray player.  The power of your flat panel or projector to display stunning images is best complemented by a Bluray player.  And the new audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD, will make the audio in your system come to life in a way you have never heard before.

There has been a dramatic price drop in the past 6-9 months.  All of the major manufactures have players in the $100-150 range.  There are additional capabilities you will want to look for including the ability to play your pictures and the ability to stream from one of the online audio and video sources.  There a number of other features, so be sure to find the ones that you want.  Check a Bluray player out today, and you won’t be disappointed.

Home Theater Steamboat Springs. People who are investigating the installation of a home theater are often surprised to discover the importance the room plays on the overall sound of the theater.  The room should be consider the most important component in the home theater.  What the floor is covered with, what the wall are made, what is on the walls, all of these have a tremendous impact on the performance of the room.  These and other factors shape the audio experience you will have in the room.

One factor that is often surprising is the different bass response in various locations of the room.  With proper design, and treating the room correctly these problems can be minimized to a great deal.
