A Home Theater Installation Brings The Cinematic Experience To You

Music and movies shape our culture, expose us to new ideas, stir our emotions, and distract us from the stresses of everyday life. It is a universal medium; the allure of losing oneself in the storyline on-screen translates into any language. 

Whether you are drawn to watching intense action sequences or enjoy the drama of Hollywood's golden age, a good deal of the derived pleasure comes from absorbing the immersive moments.

Sound is a critical film component in a home theater installation design. Without the audio element, a film loses its powerful sway, and the images on the screen become lackluster and pale. Surround sound with Dolby Atmos changes how audio influences you and how you hear.

New Ways To Hear

Everything you hear in a movie in a traditional private theater, from the actors' voices, music, sound effects, and even ambient noise, is often mixed down to specific channels. Most custom private cinemas implement a standard 7.1 configuration incorporating front, side, and rear speakers to generate a sense of space and location in your ears. 

Advantage Atmos

While traditional surround audio is compelling, it limits your ability to connect with the story and emotions on screen, because it’s “flat” – coming only from one direction. Dolby Atmos takes you deeper into the plot, characters, and music by transitioning you from an observer to a participant. The technology produces a multidimensional sound field that not only encircles you but adds a sense of height and depth and a perception of inclusion. 

Atmos does not reproduce the audio in terms of channels or speakers but as free-floating objects manipulated as desired by the filmmaker. The process dispenses with assigning a sound to the left rear speaker. Instead, it’s always moving, changing in real-time as the character moves toward you and around you. Now, you are negotiating with Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich or sitting between Michael Stipe and Peter Buck of R.E.M. while listening to the remix of “Automatic For The People.”
