Home Theater Tips | 7.2.2 Surround sound and Acoustic Screen

Описание: If you’re planning a home theater, this is where it all starts.

In this video, we break down Phase 1 of a dedicated home theater build, focusing on the most important decisions that need to happen before the walls go up. From surround sound layouts and speaker selection to projector screens, seating distances, and projector specs — this is the foundation that determines how good your theater will actually perform.

We cover:
• Proper surround sound layouts (7.1 + Dolby Atmos)
• Speaker wiring and pre-construction planning
• Media room vs true home theater speakers
• Projector vs TV planning (and why you should prep for both)
• Acoustic & ambient-light-rejecting screens
• Seating distance standards
• Projector specs that actually matter (lumens, contrast, throw ratio)

This is not brand hype — it’s real-world planning based on how we design theaters every day.
