Room Selection –

When deciding on a room for your home theatre sound system it doesn’t have to be quick. Don’t just pick any room in the house. There are several things to consider before deciding on the right room.

What to consider in room selection:

• The size of the room – Be sure all the equipment can fit in the room comfortably. The more cramped the room is the harder it is for the sound to flow. (house speakers, cables, remotes & other hardware with ease)
• It’s Quiet – Make sure the room doesn’t have a lot of outside noise or distractions. This can interfere with the sound flow inside the room.
• Light Control- You want to pick a room that allows you to control the light (artificial & natural) that comes in and out of the room. Be sure the room has limited windows, and without excessive lighting within the room.
• Low back seats- Higher back seats disrupt the flow of sound coming from the speakers
• Seats away from walls- Be sure the seats are away from the walls and corners. This will help with sound flow and give optimal sound quality.

Speaker Placement:

When it’s time to place your speakers be sure to consider who will be watching you home theatre system. How many people will be in the room (multi viewers or solo/single) viewer. Place the speakers at ear shot. Line up the speakers level with the heads of the people viewing. This allows the sound waves to flow smoother throughout the room. Avoid having one or two on the wall and one on the floor. Be sure you can post the speakers across the walls at:

• Center – Main Speaker
• Left – 90 Degrees
• Right Speaker – 110 degrees
• Subwoofer – behind seating area for optimum sound.

Acoustic sound control:

When it comes to acoustics many people think this is great for sound. But in reality, it is a literal sound disaster. When you are connecting a home theatre system in your home with lots of acoustics you get nothing but echo. If you know that it is echoing with your voice it will echo in your home theatre system.

Take some time to do a few things before connecting your home theatre system:

• Hang some heavy drape in the room– this will do two things it will help control your light level and it will also drown out some of the echo and help the sound waves flow better throughout the room.
• Lay an area rug: Laying out an area rug on the floor it can absorb some of the sound.
• Use furniture: This will also drown out some of the echo.

Lighting pointers:

When it comes to the light set up in your home theatre system room sometimes less is more. You want enough lighting to illuminate the room but not so much it puts glares on your screen or inhibits the sound waves throughout the room. Remember the sound waves need a direct path to you or the viewers.

Source Set-up & Other set-ups:

Switch your source set-up to surround sound. This is why that setting is there. It will enhance your home theatre sound system. You can also lock the setting to keep others from tampering with your settings.  When it comes to display calibration you should turn off your auto-display mode and check the flesh tones, and color temps on the image.

Creating Props for Your Room:

When it comes to your props it is completely up to you. This will allow you to give your special home theatre room a personal touch. Remember not to go too crazy with this and watch how much goes on the floor. Clutter can disrupt your sound throughout the room. The clearer it is the better sound you will get in the room. You can still block the flow of sound by overdoing it.

In Conclusion:

There are several types of home theatre sound systems available on the market today. Depending on what you are looking for in your home theatre sound system would help you determine which sound system is best for you and your family.
