Are You Taking Advantage of these Home Theater Services?

A lot goes into the process of adding a dedicated home theater to a property, and it’s helpful for homeowners to have a solid understanding of all the options available before they commit to the project. At DB Media Solutions, we offer many home theater services that combine together to provide a truly exceptional end result for our clients (and make the process as smooth as possible along the way). If you’re considering adding a theater to your home in Westlake or the greater Dallas, Texas area, then make sure you know all the services that your chosen theater company offers – you may be missing out on some vital steps in the theater installation process.

Initial Assessments

Any home theater company worth its salt will start each project with an assessment of the space and your goals for it. A dedicated home theater shouldn’t be a cookie-cutter product—it should be a reflection of your personality and desired media experience. During an assessment, your home theater expert will be able to get a feel for the space and the best equipment/setup to make your theater as good or better than a commercial cinema.

Project Management and Collaboration

High-end theaters are not a one-man job. More likely, there are a lot of different contractors involved in the process: interior designers, architects, electricians, AV experts, etc. And with that many cooks in the kitchen, it’s easy for plans to get off track. Your home theater company should take the reins on the project, providing guidance and managing everything so that all contractors are on the same page.

Theater Prewiring and Networking

The type of wiring and cabling in your theater room can have a huge impact on performance. It’s important that your theater installer assesses your existing wiring and, if needed, upgrades the cables to support high-resolution audio and video. If you’re adding a theater to a newly constructed home, then be sure to bring in the theater expert early on so that they can do the wiring before walls are closed (this helps avoid unnecessary rework).

Audio/Video Calibration

Simply installing the speakers and projector aren’t enough if you want to get that perfect cinematic experience. The next step is to optimize all of the equipment in the space to ensure that you get the best sound and visuals possible. Acoustic treatments, screen brightness, speaker bass levels…all of the many facets of your theater should be carefully analyzed and tested for peak performance.

Media Management

Do you have a large Blu-ray collection or multiple streaming services you like to use? Part of that true theater experience is simply sitting down and enjoying the movie—that doesn’t include sifting through movie options, fumbling with the Blu-ray player, and trying to switch between sources. Part of your home theater services should include having your media components set up to be as easy to use as possible. So all you have to do is sit down, select the movie or TV show you want to watch using your touchscreen remote, and press play. Simple as that.

Smart Home Automation

Making your media smarter is a good first step, but consider having your theater company install a full smart home automation system. In addition to controlling your theater devices and media, you can control the lighting levels, theater curtains, climate, and more all from the same system. You can even have the system set up so that when you press “Play,” the lights dim, the temperature lowers, and the movie starts instantly.
