1. Room Dimensions and Shape 

Understanding your theater room’s shape and size is the necessary first step before anything else can happen.

Through our consultation, we’ll take measurements and account of the room’s shape. Is it very wide, narrow, angled, have extra nooks? This will inform us of what we’re working with to make strategic decisions moving forward.           

Room shape and size determine what size screen we recommend, speaker placement, lighting, and seating.

Home theater system equipment that is not compatible with your room layout will result in an unideal movie-watching experience, and nobody wants that.

2. Décor of Room

Did you know that miscellaneous objects in a room (or not-so-miscellaneous like seating) affects the way sound navigates the space? We will take into account what all you have in the room — or plan on placing in the room — because these items could block sound from distributing properly.

We understand the importance of aesthetics. Do you have a theme or color scheme you’re going for? This is good to consider so that you are making the right product selections for your home theater system that don’t clash with the look you are going for.

3. Best Equipment for the Room           

This is where things can get more technical, and frankly, the most exciting. Once we’ve determined what we’re working with: room layout and aesthetic preferences, we can start selecting the right equipment for the room.

• Hidden speakers, like in-wall or in-ceiling, won’t interfere with your décor aesthetically or in sound navigating the room. Not concerned about that? We can offer some standing speakers that produce high-quality sound that also look good situated in the room.
• What’s a home theater system without a screen and projector? We can suggest a variety of equipment that fits the needs of your room.

4. Control System 

Have full control over your home theater system’s settings and function with a Savant system.

You can set it up to have a simple pre-set “Movie” scene: your lights automatically dim, the shades close if you’re in a space with windows, the motorized shades in front of the screen open, and your media library or streaming service will pull up for you to select the perfect movie.
