Home cinema install: Dutch courage
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.
