Shared Space: What You’ll Need 

High-Quality Headphones 

Maybe the rest of your family doesn’t want to hear ‘Call of Duty’ gunshots or your galloping horse in ‘Red Dead.’ If they are in the media room too, you can still privately treat yourself to incredible game audio with high-quality headphones. 

Sony manufactures premium headphones with large internal drivers and noise-canceling features. It will feel like there’s a real surround sound system in your ear! And wireless models let you move about the room freely without being yanked by a cord. 

But if you’re looking for a headset to chat with friends online, choose a noise-canceling microphone with decent voice quality that won’t pick up background sounds. Brand like Focal are often cited as the best headset brands. 

Acoustical Treatments 

If headphones aren’t your style and you’d rather play over a speaker system, ensure your audio sounds its best with acoustical treatments. Soft materials on the walls and floor will help absorb excess sound frequencies, so there aren’t echoes. We install fiberglass panels to absorb frequencies and sound diffusers to scatter noise for evenly balanced sound.  

Make the Most of Your Private Cinema with On-Demand and Streaming 

When is the last time you went to the movie theater? If you’re like many people, it’s been a year since you’ve seen a flick at a local theater. Since the pandemic began, ticket sales have fallen 80%, with only 2.28 billion tickets sold in 2020 compared to 11 billion tickets in 2019. 

As movie theaters remained shuttered or at limited capacity, studios are altering the ways movies are released.We predict the shift to at-home entertainment will stick around even as theaters open again in the future. With new on-demand and streaming options (and in stunning 4K), you can bring a night at the movies to your home.   

There’s never been a better time than now to own a private cinema. With larger-than-life visuals and sound, you’ll immerse yourself in ways only a theater can provide. While the rest of the world misses trips to the movies, homeowners with private theaters enjoy brand-new films in style. 

Whether you already own a home theater or are just getting started, we’ll share how to make the most of it with new movies below. As a home theater installer based in Palm Beach, FL, we like to help our clients enjoy their entertainment systems to the fullest.Find your options below!
