What is home theatre?
Home
Theatre is the room containing your video and audio equipment for the
viewing and listening pleasure of your family and friends. The equipment
may consist of a high quality TV, DVD player and stereo at the low end. At
the high end, it may include a front projector, a high precision screen
and a set of amplifiers and speakers, strategically positioned to produce
high quality sound emanating from different locations in the room, to
simulate a real life listening experience. In most cases there will be
multiple input sources such as cable, satellite, VCR, DVD and others.
The
Home Theatre will have plush seating organized for comfortable viewing,
motorized window coverings to block out unwanted exterior light,
appropriate lighting to facilitate viewing, climate control and a panel to
control all the systems. Control is by touchscreen with macro commands
to shut the drapes, dim the lights, adjust the temperature, lower the
screen and projector from the ceiling when the Start Movie command is
given, all with a single touch. The shape, size and dimensions of the
room, the seating, window and wall coverings, as well as the positioning
of the speakers will all affect the sound and the visibility. Preferably,
the room will not have too many windows nor very large ones.
The
Home Theatre may contain hundreds of metres of hidden video and audio
wiring, connecting all the various components, as well as the room
lighting, climate control and other systems and a sufficient power supply
for all the equipment. With the large number of components and heavy
electric load, the Home Theatre will have numerous power outlets and its
own circuit breaker.

What Magen
can do for you
Magen
Home Automation will help you design your Home Theatre and select the
projectors, screen and audio equipment according to your requirements and
budget. We work closely with your architect, electrical engineer and other
system designers to integrate all the components. We work together with
your home decorator in selecting the furniture, carpeting, and window and
wall coverings to assure that these will be consistent with your viewing
and audio requirements and to set the view lines correctly. Magen Home
Automation installs all the components, integrating them aesthetically
with your home decorator’s design. We
provide a full responsibility Home Theatre service.
Even
the best and most expensive video and audio equipment has to be calibrated
and adjusted once it is set up and connected, to assure that you will get the most out of it. The picture and sound have to be calibrated
for colour, tint, sharpness, brightness, contrast, tone and balance. On
completion, we calibrate all our installations to assure that they are
clear and crisp and that the sound flows smoothly from speaker to speaker.
Magen
Home Automation systems are designed so that anybody
in the house can control any aspect of the Home Theatre with ease. We
instruct all members of the family in Home Theatre operation and control.
All our cables are colour coded and labeled for ease of maintenance
and repair and to enable you to easily add new equipment whenever you may
want to.
If
you are planning to install Home Theatre in your home, contact
Magen Home Automation now to review your plans and to help develop
