Ideal dimension for home theatre ?




zizourono


We r building a house. Im planning to setup a theatre..currently d room dimensions r 3.93x3.53x3 (lxwxh) in metres..will it suit for a home theatre ? Or can u suggest a great dimension nearing these so tht I can correct it..or what would be a good dimension...d height s 3m fixed..


Answer
1H x1.9w x 2.5L or 2.74m x 4.11m x 6.86m is an average good ratio for a room; but it also depends on the size of the room. the ratio can also vary for the size of the room...Also room dimensions are not as critical as you might think because a lot has to do with what the wall floor and ceiling are made of; if there is carpet or not the amount of furniture in the room and what type of furniture wall treatments windows etc these will actually have a greater effect unless the room is square or something too dimensional....The most modern thinking is that variable dimensions work best a vaulted ceiling for example a; stepped floor covered in carpet with riser seating; walls that are non parallel but that expand to a greater distance apart as they move to the back of the room...you can compensate for non ideal room dimensions by using bass traps in the corners also vary the material on the walls some carpet some wood some plaster columns etc...also movable seating positions that can be adjusted once you have a better idea of where your standing waves are...

Home Theatre - Speaker suggestion?

I have a Yamaha 7.2 channel receiver with 100 watts in each channel. Am looking for big sound effect with small speakers. I was about to buy a bose for my requirement but am hearing lot of comments that there are many brands lot better than bose and less costlier than bose. Kindly suggest a company and model of speakers that will be the BEST


Answer
What are your goals (besides "big sound effect") and budget? I assume your budget is fairly high, considering that you were looking at Bose?

It's often recommended on a constrained budget to start with the front two or three speakers, then a sub, then surround speakers. Or buy used. Something to consider.

Realize you're asking for opposing constraints: Small speaker, big sound. It's like asking for a "small engine with tremendous output." Usually in such circumstances it takes more money to achieve this.

For speakers, that means they need to be more sensitive, be able to handle more watts, so that they can be smaller in size. For instance, that's how the little might subs that are only 12" achieve big output: they use 2,000w amps, and that costs money.

Goals:
If you want to watch film and TV with a bunch of other people, then providing a good experience for those people is important.

This means the sound needs to be good at a variety of seating locations. A bipolar surround speaker, that fires sound in a couple directions, might work better.

Also, the center speaker will be more important (as opposed to just two front speakers to start with).

If you like action movies, then anemic speakers will disappoint. Sure, small speakers may sound better than TV speakers, but soon you'll wonder "Why doesn't this sound nearly as good as at our crappy local commercial theater?"

Think about WHY you want small speakers? Is it because of decorating constraints? The best speakers for architectural constraints are those that you don't see at all. For a theater room with a projector, one hides the speakers behind the screen, and in side and rear architectural columns.

In a living room, one uses in-wall speakers with paintable grills, so they almost disappear into the wall. This allows you to use, for instance, a 6" or 8" woofer to provide the mid-bass that will be lacking from a little 4" driver.

If in-walls won't work, consider on-walls, like the Paradigm Millenia series recommended. If "small speakers" means "narrow profile," then speakers with a lot of 3" drivers can achieve things that one 3" driver could. It means a 4" wide speaker that's two feet tall.

Don't skimp on the subwoofer. It's very important for music and effects-laden films. Low bass is extremely difficult to produce. As I wrote above, if you need a smaller sub, then expect to pay more for a big amp. Or choose a larger sub that's of furniture grade and use it as a side table next to seating. Or hide it in a corner under a plant or behind furniture.
