Home Theatre

A home theatre design is not simply specifying the largest or most expensive equipment you can afford, but takes into account the room layout, fabrics and furnishings of the room, as well as any surfaces that may affect the acoustics of the room.

Audico designs home theatres from the ground up, which includes the recommendation of walls and ceilings, 3D systems, fabrics and finishes, positioning of screen, lighting, stage seating positions and speaker and subwoofer layout. We assist in the design of sound proofing, sound paneling and complete home theatre design.

Home Theatre Amplifiers or Receivers

 

Probably the most important part of your home theatre or TV room. A home theatre amp accepts all of your sources such as DStv, Bluray, PlayStation, Apple TV etc with hdmi cables, and has an hdmi output that up-scales video and wires to your TV. You need only select your source and the audio and video will match your selection. This component drives your home theatre speakers in 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. 5.1 refers to 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer.

Modern day amplifiers also have zone 2 and zone 3 outputs to drive other speakers in stereo to other rooms such as your patio. The zones are not affected by your choice made in the main area and this allows for a movie to be watched in the home theatre, whilst music is being played in the zone. This is perfect for families to have the kids be able to take-over the TV room while the adults enjoy music in another area.

Home Theatre Speakers

Traditionally, in your face big black laminated box speakers, have been what people think of home theatre speakers – but things have changed. Speakers now come in various shapes, sizes, finishes and aesthetics. Whilst we are still the biggest fans of floor standing speakers – the newer lifestyle speaker systems have impressed us beyond measure.

Your speakers can be wall mounted, floor mounted or completely hidden from site in your home theatre, the choice is yours (or your wifes). A 5.1, 7.1 or even larger speaker systems refer to the amount of speakers in your home theatre and the number of sub-woofers. Although most movie content is recorded in 5.1 – your home theatre amplifier mimics the additional channels of surround sound.
