Before & After
The centerpiece of the cinema experience is the Epson LS12000 laser projector paired with a Helyn 130″ acoustically transparent screen. To deliver an immersive audio experience, a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos system was installed, utilising Origin Acoustics speakers for precise sound reproduction. The room was acoustically treated with Manhattan slat acoustics at the rear and fabric acoustic walls with custom LED lighting track for optimal sound quality.
The seating arrangement includes a 4-seat Manhattan New Yorker Pro Luxe front row and a custom-built daybed for the rear row, ensuring maximum comfort for all viewers.
The Helsyn 130” Fixed Acoustical screen is a very generous 130 inches, and is made from a material that allows sound waves to pass through the screen – meaning it helps to absorb sound in the room, not reflect it.
Dolby Atmos is all about adding overhead audio channels, with speakers that direct sound upward, reflecting it off the ceiling to create overhead audio effects. These speakers typically include multiple channels—front, surround, and ceiling-mounted height channels—to deliver a multidimensional sound experience. In a film with rain falling, it sounds like it’s coming from above, and a helicopter feels like it’s flying over your head.
Manhattan New Yorker Pro Luxe config 430 front row seats. We supply and install industry-leading Manhattan Seating home cinema chairs, which not only have Gold Class quality comfort and features – they are made right here in Australia! These models have power reclining as a standard on all models for optimal comfort levels, as well as an ultra quiet motorised recliner mechanism. Fabric acoustic walls with custom LED lighting track. To make sure this space had the best sound quality possible we installed slat acoustic panels and carpeting. These are known as acoustic treatments: materials which improve the sound quality of your room. They do this by reducing echoes and vibrations that can make the sound coming out of your home theatre speakers unclear and muddy.
Custom daybed for rear seating. The rear of the cinema boasts a custom-built daybed, upholstered in high-quality leather. This is the perfect space for relaxing and enjoying movies with friends and family.
