Elements of a Great Home Cinema Theater Media Room
Your home is complete. Everything is furnished and painted and
all of the rooms have been designated and assigned. How happy are you to
discover that you really do have an extra space. It doesn’t matter whether it’s
a spare bedroom, a den, the garage or the basement – you have an extra space
and you know just what you want to do with it. It’s going to be the home cinema
theater media room that you always wanted. Being a reasonable person, you
understand that you can’t get every single thing that you ever wanted for it.
Not right away. But just in case you get the chance to upgrade and add to it,
you want to make sure that your home cinema theater media room is designed just
right.
The Rear Entrance
What’s a home cinema theater media room without a rear
entrance? You want everyone to see the room from its best angle the minute they
enter. You want them to be able to see the big screen, the theater chairs, the
fine décor, and the fabulous electronics all at once. That means a rear
entrance. You know where the door is so you know where the screen will be.
Now make sure that the acoustics are good. If it’s a basement,
you might want to cover the cement floor. If it’s part of the living area of
the home, a double layer of drywall is not out of the question. A good home cinema theater media room is not
housed in a square room. That’s bad acoustically. If your space is square, build
a wall inward at least half a foot. You can always use the space to house the
electronics or make a media library.
The worst place to put your seating is in the very spots where
most people put their seating. In a home cinema theater media room, the sound
is poorest at the back of the room and in the exact center. Make a scale
drawing of your space and divide it into three parts front to back and again
side to side. The best seating is right where the lines intersect. Use that
measurement for the speaker placement as well. They should go at the sides of
the room at one of the thirds. Plan around that for the best home cinema
theater media room.
