We took over this large (7m x 3m) home theatre room while this new build house was still being constructed, with the client requesting a number of features including:

  • Cinema-style luxury seating with a double step up to allow 3 rows of seats to be installed.
  • A 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system built around a Yamaha RXA2080 AV receiver and Jamo in-ceiling speakers.
  • Cabinetry, acoustic panels and carpet installation.

If you are not familiar with cinema style seating in a home theatre environment let’s take a closer look at the practicalities of installing seating in a dedicated home cinema room or open plan living area.

Installing home cinema seating

If you want the best seat in the house, installing home cinema seating can help you take your home theatre space to the next level. Here are all the practicalities you need to think about when planning your project:

Do you have a room in the house that is underutilised or could be repurposed?
This client did just that, asking us to remodel an old storage room and transform it into a state of the art home theatre space. So we did just that, starting by gutting it and then replacing the ceiling sheeting, painting, cabinetry installation and then onto the install of all the kit. Yes, we definitely got our hands dirty on this one, but then I think you will agree the end result is worth it – and the client was also very happy.

Besides the awesome view project highlights of this installation included:

  • Epson TW9400, a HD projector with vibrant colours and excellent sense of depth, and featuring Epson’s 3LCD technology, which is based around three distinct liquid crystal chips. UK tech magazine What Hi-Fi? commended it’s ‘vibrancy and sense of depth’ and gave it a perfect score for picture, features and build. A single 3,000-hour rated lamp means you will have many years of watching before you have to replace it.
  • Yamaha Aventage RXV6A, a 7.2-channel, 100 Watt AV receiver with all the latest in audio and video, including Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization, DTS:X, wireless streaming and more.

For this beautiful coastal home in a prime location just north of Sydney the client wanted a full home home theatre with a 4K projector shooting onto a large 140-inch screen, with a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos system supplying the audio. We also wall-mounted 7 Samsung TV’s across the property with Sonos soundbars, as well as installing zoned audio across 8 separate entertaining areas with Sonos driving these.

Let’s start by looking at what a 4K laser projector brings to a home cinema room.

Why install a 4K laser projector?

Not sure what features a 4K laser projector has, and what your home cinema experience benefits from installing one?

Stunning picture quality

4K laser projectors offer stunning picture quality with deep blacks, bright colours, and pin-sharp details. This is because 4K resolution has 4 x the picture resolution of Full HD, with four times as many pixels on the screen.

Laser – The best option

Laser projectors have a much longer lifespan than traditional projector bulbs. A laser projector can last for up to 20,000 hours, which is equivalent to watching a movie for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, for over 5 years. This means that you won’t have to worry about replacing the bulb for a long time.

Wide viewing angle

4K laser projectors have a wide viewing angle, which means that no matter where you sit you’ll always get a good picture.

Low maintenance

There is very little maintenance required with a 4K laser projector. With a bulb that lasts up to 20,000 hours, the most you will need to do is give your machine an occasional dusting.

Let’s take a closer look at this home theatre installation project, and some tech highlights.

Tech highlights of this installation…

140” Fixed Acoustical screen

An acoustical screen has a unique woven structure that helps to absorb sound in the room, not reflect it. Sound waves travel in waves, and when they hit an acoustical screen, some of the waves are absorbed and some are reflected. The amount of sound that is absorbed or reflected depends on the material that the acoustical screen is made from. Acoustic screens can help to reduce noise levels by up to 50%.

Yamaha Aventage RXA8A AV receiver can handle all formats

The Yamaha Aventage RXA8A AV receiver is a powerful unit that gives you awesome sound and picture quality. It can play 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) video formats, and has cool AV features like Cinema DSP 3D, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X to make you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. You can also play music wirelessly through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Apple AirPlay 2, and it has lots of ports for all your peripherals.

Other components installed…

Other gear installed included:

  • 3x Origin Acoustics LCR67 In wall front LCR speakers
  • 8x Origin Acoustics D63 in ceiling surround and Dolby Atmos speakers
  • 2x Velodyne SC 600 in-wall subwoofers
  • Google Chromecast
  • Yamaha Aventage Rxa8a Amplifier
  • RTI control system

This customer chose to have a custom daybed style couch installed, rather than home cinema seating.

Stage 1

Stage 2

For this project we had a blank canvas to work with, after gutting the room – with the client focused on maximising the space and having a clean and acoustically sound room where the sound wouldn’t escape.

To achieve this we removed the existing cabinetry and all gyprock in the room. This was replaced with sound insulation batts in the wall cavity, as well as a solid core door. We also removed and replaced the old carpet, gave the room a fresh coat of paint and installed floor-to-ceiling velvet curtains to further reduce sound reverberations and pollution.

On the audio side we installed a 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos system with an Epson LS12000 projector pushing the picture to a 110” fixed screen. To power all this a Denon AVC-X3800H AV receiver supplies crisp Dolby Atmos audio to all parts of the room.

How to get perfect sound in home theatre rooms

If you want perfect, crystal clear sound in your home theatre room you first need to understand how sound works.

Sound from your speakers travels in waves or vibrations through the air, which then bounce off any ‘hard’ surfaces in the room. These could be the walls, floor, door, ceiling, windows and objects like furniture or cabinetry.

Walls, floors and ceilings are a big problem as they cause something called ‘standing waves’, which is when sound waves continue to bounce off these surfaces and distort your bass and lower midrange frequencies. This also makes certain notes louder and others much quieter. This can lead to unclear dialogue, harsh treble, ‘booming’ bass and echo.

This is why we install acoustic panels, fabric walls, sound batts and even carpets and thick curtains – which can all help reduce these waves or sonic vibrations. Acoustic batts in the walls also help to prevent these sound waves from passing through into other parts of the home.

Audio visual highlights of this installation…

Denon AVC-X3800H receiver

The Denon AVC-X3800H delivers stunning audio quality with its 9-channel amplifier and support for the latest audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D. It also features versatile connectivity, with multiple HDMI inputs, as well as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Apple AirPlay 2 support. We also love the user-friendly interface, with a large and intuitive display, easy-to-use remote control, making it simple to control and customise your home theatre experience.

Grandview 120” Fixed Acoustical screen

Install a Grandview 120” Fixed Acoustical screen and you will never miss the action! This screen has a unique woven structure which is 4K compatible for the truest, most vivid and dynamic images. It is also an acoustical screen, which means the fabric helps to absorb sound in the room, not reflect it. Reflections are the enemy of any home cinema, and soft surfaces like this – as well as curtains and carpeting, help to minimise muddied audio.

All the tech and gear we supplied and installed…

Components used in this installation include:

  • Epson lS1200 projector
  • 110” Grandview fixed screen
  • Denon AVC-X3800H
  • Polk Audio XT35 center speaker
  • Origin Acoustic LCR 67 (in wall fronts)
  • Polk Audio MXT20 as rears
  • Polk audio V80 in ceilings as atmos

This client had always dreamed of having a home theatre and had just completed a renovation of his home so he called us in to get the room finalised.

They had already purchased the speakers so for this job we completed the wiring and supplied a 120” fixed screen with an Epson 9400 projector, with audio routed via a Denon AVR- X1700. We also installed a split platform for tiered seating which will be from our custom Manhattan theatre seat range, with ambient step lighting. We also completed the painting, carpeting, and curtain installation.

Curtains can improve your home cinema room’s audio

Curtains are a great aesthetic addition to any cinema room and also help improve the acoustics by limiting the sound waves bouncing around the room. Bare walls can distort your bass and lower midrange frequencies, while making certain notes louder and others much quieter. The result is poor audio, with unclear dialogue, bright and/or harsh treble, muddy or boomy bass and echo. This is where acoustic room treatments like heavy, thick curtains can help.

Gear highlights of this installation…

Epson EH-TW9400 DLP projector

An award-winning DLP projector that scores highly based on its ability to handle HDR, vibrant colours and excellent sense of depth. DLP projectors have higher light output than a LED projector, which is enhanced by Epson’s 4K Enhancement pixel shifting technology, which basically makes any input look like high resolution 4K.

Grandview 120” Fixed Acoustical screen

so no one misses any of the action. This screen has a unique woven structure which is 4K compatible for the truest, most vivid and dynamic images. It is also an acoustical screen, which means the fabric helps to absorb sound in the room, not reflect it.

This client had just built their dream home and approached us to add a few final finishing touches, which included:

  • A secure home with security cameras and intercom
  • Robust WiFi distribution
  • A complete home theatre

In the home theatre room we installed a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos system with an Epson LS1200 projector. The client wanted two rows of cinema-style seating so we built a step up with ambient strip lighting. To add the final touches to the room we installed black velvet curtains to give the space the look of a real cinema.

We also installed security cameras around the property, which all feed back to the intercom and doorbell system. This gives them total peace of mind that their home is monitored and protected 24/7.

Tech highlights of this installation…

4K Epson LS1200 laser projector

Stage 2

For this client the wishlist with a full home cinema room fitout, which included building a 3 level step-up for the home cinema seating with integrated step lighting.

Unlike other home theatre installers near you, we actually get our hands dirty and do ALL the work ourselves including any building works, carpentry, cabling and cabinetry.

They also wanted zoned audio throughout the house, which is worth expanding on here if you want the same in your home.

What is zoned audio?

Zoned audio is basically having (wired or wireless) speakers throughout the home, where different audio sources can be played simultaneously in different rooms. So everyone in the house can listen to whatever music they want, without disturbing the others.

Zoned audio can be controlled through a central system (like a RTI processor) using a mobile app on your device of choice, making it super convenient and user-friendly. This gives you complete wireless control of your entire multi-room AV system. In this case we installed Definitive Technology DI8R in-ceiling stereo speakers throughout the house with Sonos amps controlling the system.

Before we look at the component highlights of this install let’s understand what in-ceiling speakers bring to the party.

Why install ceiling speakers?

In-ceiling speakers in a home theatre space give you more immersive audio, with sound coming from above. If you have a Dolby Atmos source sound can be precisely placed and moved in a three-dimensional space, creating a hyper-realistic and enveloping soundstage. In-ceiling speakers also free up floor space and cut the dreaded cable clutter – giving you a very clean and aesthetically pleasing room.

Why pre-wiring is so important

You can see where our team have marked out the positions of the in-ceiling and in-wall speakers – using pink paint. This is part of the pre-wiring stage when all the cabling is installed in the wall and ceiling cavities.

The benefits for including wiring at the construction stage include the ability to include seamless integration of audio visual equipment in the home, less clutter and unsightly cabling under carpet or along skirting.

Gear highlights of this installation…

Sonos Amp

If you need to drive your home entertainment system’s audio, but want to add streaming and wireless zoned wireless around your home, then the Sonos Amp is the missing puzzle piece in your audio jigsaw. It can switch seamlessly between any number of sources, while enjoying crystal clear audio in as many rooms as you want. And with 125W per channel, the Amp is very capable at getting the best out of the latest hits or the latest blockbuster action flick.

Velodyne Impact 12 Inch Subwoofer

The 2 x Velodyne Impact 12 Inch subwoofers we installed are stylish, affordable, high-output, low distortion subs. With high quality, long throw drivers, down-firing ports and down-firing bass radiators these speakers are also compact enough to fit into any home cinema room. Subwoofers, or affectionately: subs, are all about delivering deep and powerful low, bass sounds that make your movies and music come to life!

All the gear we supplied and installed

All the components supplied and installed in this home theatre installation include:

  • 150 ” Grandview Acoustical screen
  • Epson LS12000 Projector
  • Origin Acoustics LCR69 in-wall front speakers, with in-wall rears and in-ceiling Atmos speakers

This full house fitout required all our expertise to bring all the elements together, including a security system, intercom system, whole-home WiFi, TV’s in multiple rooms and a home cinema room with star ceiling.

Project highlights of this home included:

  • Star ceiling in the home cinema room, for that extra ‘wow’ factor. Installed manually using fibre optic filaments to create the effect of the night sky, with a variety of star constellations and inspiring visual effects.

  • Yamaha Aventage amplifier with 7.1 surround sound for crystal clear dialogue, extra oomph of sound effects and surround sound.

  • Samsung TV 85” with gorgeous 4K Ultra HD display for pixel-perfect resolution, realistic colour, fine contrast and detailed images.

Let’s take a closer look at the projector we installed for the client.

Epson EH-TW9400 projector: maximum bang for your buck!

The Epson EH-TW9400 is an award-winning DLP projector, with a 5 star What Hi-Fi? rating. DLP projectors have higher light output than a LED projector, and you get maximum bang for your buck with this unit.

It scores highly based on its ability to handle HDR, vibrant colours and excellent sense of depth. The quality of the picture is down to Epson’s 4K Enhancement pixel shifting technology, which basically makes any input look like high resolution 4K. The Epson 9400 is also flexible in its ability to be positioned, including from a ceiling mount, thanks to the unit’s adaptable lens. This allows you to get a perfect picture, even if the projector is not centred in the room or to the screen.

We also installed a Ubiquiti WiFi system, and here is more detail about this fantastic system.

What is Ubiquiti WAP?

Have a large home or multi storey apartment, townhouse or house?

Then you are very likely going to need to extend the coverage of your wireless router.

Installing a Ubiquiti wireless access point (WAP) helps to do exactly this, by extending the wireless network range and boosting the signal strength throughout your home. This means you will get a strong, stable WiFi connection no matter where you are on the property. Depending on the size of your property you may need more than one Ubiquiti WAP, and your devices simply connect to the closest one when they wake up.

We have also found that once installed and configured, you will rarely have to fiddle with it, beyond periodic software updates – they just work!

The Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AP AC PRO, which is designed to be installed in networks that require maximum performance, either indoors or outdoors. The UniFi AC Pro AP offers simultaneous 3×3 MIMO dual band and is compatible with the PoE 802.3af PoE / 802.3at PoE + standards.

Home Theatre Installation: We do all the work ourselves!

Client Review

We first had Universal hang a couple of TVs in our apartment a few years ago where we got great service. So when we bought our new place a few months ago we gave Andy a call to hang another couple of TV’s. Andy and Mick came out a few days later and did a nice job again. Whilst they were here we discussed some thought s about putting in a theatre room into a space that was under utilized. The room was single level tiled floor 7×3.5 with plenty of windows. That discussion lead to a full on installation with a step up built, carpet laid, custom cabinetry, 7 beautiful leather seats, full curtains and a tremendous picture and sound system that has transformed our house and that room to an awesome space. The quality of the installation is excellent and communication through the process perfect to keep us updated and explain the system. Andy and Mick (Mick the master electrician) are great people, professional work and kept our place nice and tidy each day, Sam in the office well organised, pleasant to deal with and kept us up to date and Andy’s team of contractors also great to work with. Zac the cabinet legend built us a fantastic cabinet, James “the blind guy” and his family did a wonderful job of our drapes, the carpet team efficient and friendly people. Everyone we dealt with were awesome. We are so happy we chose Universal Home Theatre Sydney and as you can tell definitely recommend them.
