Pro-Install

Netherlands-based install outfit Home Cinema Experience faced a few challenges to get this cinema ready to roll, particularly the shape of the initial room which meant both an entirely new wall and acoustic treatments were required. Fortunately, says installer Sebastiaan Kahle, the owner – who wanted a relaxing space to enjoy movies and music – put faith in their ability: 'After a presentation with [speaker brand] Procella we had a great conversation in our showroom... and were given a free rein.'

Technical plans outlining the cinema's eventual 11.1.4 speaker setup were created with the help of Procella and Trinnov Audio – whose Altitude32 processor was selected as 'the only choice to support the speaker configuration' – and provided the owner with a clear vision of what was to be delivered. Added to the hardware mix was a JVC 4K projector, 3m-wide projector screen and Oppo, Apple and media PC source gear.

The installers say they identify the five 'key elements' of a home cinema as audio, video, control, acoustics and interior, and the latter two certainly make their presence felt here. Side and rear walls feature Artnovion acoustic treatments that function as a design feature too, complementing the timber framework and soft furnishings.
