The initial design and layout of a home cinema is the key to getting the most from your music and film. Our expertise in preparing spaces for optimal sound and vision is one of the main reasons our systems outperform any similarly priced alternatives.
As the room is such a critical factor in any home cinema design we highly recommend contacting us as soon as you are considering a system. Often choosing a different space or room layout will be the difference between a good system and a truly exceptional one.
Once the room layout has been agreed, some small additions to the space may be required to eliminate any rattles that would compromise sound quality.
These changes are typically simple to make before the room is decorated but much more complicated to make to a finished room. Our advice if free, so why not contact us now to benefit from the industry’s most experienced home cinema design service. We can guide and advise you from design through to your home cinema installation.
Home Cinema Projectors
Modern projection systems are the equal of any commercial cinema and are by far the best way to watch your movies. Wherever a home cinema is being designed for a projector, it is essential to carefully control the lighting within a room. This involves eliminating all external light and minimising light reflections within the room from walls, floors and ceiling.
The earlier in the design of a cinema we are contacted, the better the end result. Once again, expert design is the key to getting a great looking room that will get the most from your film and TV.
Acoustics
The acoustics of your listening room will have a huge impact on the quality of sound you will enjoy. Few people in the home cinema industry are expert in acoustics which is why the acoustic design of spaces is often the weakest link in most home cinema designs.
Our innovative approach to room acoustics combines speakers that can be easily tailored to your room’s sonic requirements, completely invisible acoustic treatments and the most advanced room correction systems available. The result is systems that deliver the highest fidelity, consistently in any room.
For those seeking the ultimate surround sound performance, Steinway Lyngdorf is the answer. Their unique all-digital design combine with innovative speaker systems and the world’s most advanced room correction to provide truly exceptional results. They are the only audio systems capable of satisfying those familiar with the sound of live music.
In addition to the most detailed, natural sound, Steinway Lyngdorf use tiny loudspeakers and typically require no room treatment for optimal results.
