One of the
most important parts of any new custom home theater is the sound system. Homeowners looking for a custom home theater
want to duplicate the movie theater or concert sound experience, and who
wouldn’t? When it comes to great sound,
quality sound equipment goes a long way and so does set up and tuning. Here are a few of our tips on making the most
out of your custom home theater sound experience:
(1)
Embrace
technology: There are always new
technology upgrades made to custom home theater sound systems and if you’re
looking for that perfect sound, you should consider embracing it. Do your research on what new technology might
have to offer you and your custom home theater system. New technology may be able to offer you
exactly what you’re looking for from your custom home theater’s sound system.
(2)
Surround
Speakers: Try moving surround speakers
to achieve a different sound from your custom home theater. Instead of placing them way up high in the
corners of the room, try placing them on the side walls of the room at ear
level. This simple move can drastically
change the sound from your custom home theater.
(3)
Subwoofers
location: Your subwoofer's location can also have a big impact on the sound you
receive from your custom home theater system.
While many homeowners stick the subwoofer in the corner of the room, try
to move the subwoofer's location to see what kind of sound you can get from a
simple relocation. While aesthetically
you may want to stick the subwoofer out of view, it may not be the best for your
custom home theater’s sound system quality.
Put the subwoofer where it gives off the best sound.
(4)
Utilize
speaker stands or brackets: Pull those
speakers out from the book shelf or cabinets and place them on a stand or mounted
bracket instead. You might be surprised
by how much that can change the quality of sound.
(5)
Upgrades:
Mixing new and old sound system pieces may not be the greatest way to achieve
that booming movie theater quality sound.
Mixing the old and new can give off a disjointed sound, so consider
purchasing matching sound equipment to achieve optimal sound.
A few
simple tweaks and changes can greatly affect the quality of your custom home
theater’s sound. If you have questions
