Home theatre installation Caboolture, Brisbane
What does a good home theatre installation consist of?
- Well depending on the size of your room, your budget, and your paticular tastes these are just a small selection of hundreds and hundreds of different options. Even what's listed below has a very broad range.
- For a home theatre between $2000 - $8000 you would expect to have some or all of the following
- A wall-mounted tv or HD projector & screen
- A home theatre installation would consist of a good universal remote - 1 remote to make it easy
- Surround Sound - min. 5.1 w/ all speaker cabling concealed
- Blu- Ray DVD playable
- Computer - Laptop / iPhone / iPad connectivitiy
- Ability to stream or connect music and mp3s or iTunes
- Pay tv - Foxtel - Austar (if you have this)
Besides equipment, what other factors determine the quality of a home theatre installation?
- Good home theatre cables and choice of speaker cable
- Compatibility of equipment and brands for ease of use and reliability
- Considerations for it's user/s and functionality
- Simplicity - how can the system be made to be as easy as possible?
- What size picture do we want?
- Audio - how much volume will we need? and audio dynamics? What is the purpose of the audio? This is varied greatly by location and it's intended use - a church, hall, office, home or shed? e.g
What makes a home theatre installation 'Easy to USE'?
- We get asked this one quite a bit! Every user has varying levels of understanding and skill in using technology
- Factors that determine a home theatre installation's simplicity is the number of devices, recording capabilities, is a universal remote being used or not? Age-groups and genders are surprisingly unpredictable factors nowadays!
- Whilst the kids u/10 can often figure out the whole lot within a few moments, other factors include; brand name equipment devices are much easier to use vs. non brand names.
- Universal remotes can make your system up to 5 times quicker and simpler to use.
- Having all your equipment all the same brand e.g Panasonic - is no longer required and not at all necessary for simplicity. Having equipment all the same brand can actually CAUSE compatibility issues!
- The selection of equipment within the budget is the biggest factor and you really cannot rely on retail staff to help you with this because they will push models and stock that that particular store sells without any real care for you and what you really want or how well you are coping with your system down the track.
- Correct selection of equipment by a professional, home theatre installer offers better compatibility and increased features for your money. There really is an art to choosing the right features and equipment for the buyer, I highly recommend AGAINST getting your home theatre installation done by the retail store that you purchased the equipment from (if this is the path you have taken) and consulting an out-sourced service (even at least prior to purchase).
- Finally, one of the best ways to ensure your home theatre installation is going to be of quality and simplicity is to yeah, consult a professional home theatre installer for the installation and the equipment purchase.
