When many people hear the word "home theater", they think that they can just put a few speakers at home. But in fact, home theater is not that simple. It is not just about the sound effect, but also includes acoustic design, the number and quality of speakers and other aspects.
The basic concept of home theater
The concept of home theater is very simple, that is, to move the sound effect of the cinema to the home. Of course, this does not mean that the home can also achieve the effect of the cinema. Whether it is acoustic design or the number and quality of speakers, home theater and cinema are not of the same order of magnitude.
Basic configuration of home theater
The commonly used home theater configuration is 5.1 channels, including two front main speakers, center, two rear surrounds and a subwoofer. If you want a better effect, you can also add two side surround speakers or sky speakers to become 7.1 channels or 5.1.2 panoramic sound. Such a configuration is generally used to watch movies.
Three points to pay attention to when making a home theater
Pre-wiring: Home theaters need to be wired in advance. It is best to pre-bury the speaker cables when the house is decorated so as not to destroy the overall decoration style. If you install it later, the wires will look messy.
Home theater in the living room: Many people do not have a dedicated audio-visual room and can only install it in the living room. But the effect of the living room is usually not as good as that of the audio-visual room. There are mainly the following reasons:
Most of the living rooms nowadays are open, the sound reflection is messy, and the sound image is not accurate enough.
Most of the sofas in the living room are against the wall, and the rear surround speakers can only be satellite or ceiling mounted, which will reduce the experience.
Source problem
Installing a home theater does not mean that you can present the effect of 5.1 or 7.1 channels. The source is the basis, and the movies watched online basically do not support decoding. Therefore, you need a player and a Blu-ray disc, or download the source containing 5.1 sound tracks in advance.
Summary
Home theater is a complete system, not an effect that can be achieved by a single speaker. The requirements of home theater are more stringent. The source, player, and amplifier all need to be decoded, and the sound system and space structure also have a great impact. Therefore, when making a home theater, you must find professionals to do professional things.
