How to make a home theater

There are many fans to watch movies in cinemas. The large screen and realistic sound help to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of events. Make a home theater under the force of almost every person. For this, it is not necessary to have a lot of money or a huge house.

How to make a home theater

Home theater is a connecting element that combines speakers, TV and other components into a single whole. It’s better to think about your own cinema at the apartment design stage. Technical equipment requires connection and is much more aesthetic if the wires are hidden in a wall or a box. Also, the room should be renovated in a special way. The room should have a minimum number of resonating surfaces. It is necessary to buy comfortable chairs or a sofa. Registration depends on the tastes and preferences of the owner.

IMPORTANT! The optimal area for a small cinema is about 42 square meters. m

What is required

To make a home theater first thing you need to decide on its configuration. The choice of technology depends on the size of the room and the distance between the audience and the screen. You should know that the space between the screen and the person should be three times the diagonal of the device. So, the diagonal of the TV, located three meters from the sofa, should be a maximum of 42 inches. The simplest system consists of:

1. devices for watching movies (projector or TV);
2. projector screen;
3. computer or laptop;
4. acoustic system;
5. signal source;
6. light filters on the windows.

Projectors, in comparison with TVs, have a number of advantages: large screen diagonal, the ability to change image parameters, the absence of flicker, as well as small dimensions and light weight. The projector is much better conveys the atmosphere of the cinema and creates the effect of "presence". LCD projector is safer for eyes.

REFERENCE! Try to provide stable and uninterrupted power to the entire system in order to protect it from unanticipated power surges. You can install network filters.

Instruction

Consider the process of building a movie theater on the example of the projector.

First you need to prepare a draft room and make it finish. Next, we buy the right equipment. For example, an LCD projector with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. We place it in a central place.

Columns should be located in different parts of the room. They are convenient to attach directly to the wall or put on the shelves. It is advisable to have a good punch, because without it, drilling will be a tedious process. Next, remove the wires from the speakers under the various partitions and baseboards. It is better to have an adapter with wires.

Connect the adapter to one side of the cable leading to the subwoofer and the other to the speaker. It is better to place the central column over the screen. Typically, the speaker cables for a set are limited to a certain size, which may not be enough. Therefore, in advance, measure the required length and buy them separately. Place the subwoofer on the side. All wires go through it to baseboards. Connect the wire from the subwoofer to the computer.

The image is output using a computer via DVI. An integral part of the cinema is a good screen with a highly reflective surface. Fix it on the wall using a special mount that should be in the set. The projector can be placed both on the shelf and on the ceiling. When choosing the ceiling should be a special rod.

Then we hang light filters on the windows that protect against the penetration of sunlight. They can also be replaced with ordinary black out curtains.

ATTENTION! To choose a location for the projector, it is better to choose a wall where you can achieve the maximum image width.

Making a home theater with your own hands is much easier than it might seem at first glance. And if before the presence of the cinema seemed unaffordable luxury, now many people can afford it. Independent formation of the cinema will help significantly save the family budget.
