What is a Home Theater? This may sound like a simple question, but is it? Participants in this course will come away with a very distinct definition of what a Home Theater is - and what it isn't! Discussions will also include basic acoustical physics, common mistakes in design and construction, "points to remember" to achieve a solid, repeatable process, and spatial and usage considerations. This course will provide guidance related to what goes in the room - from equipment, to wall treatments, to lights - and how to analyze common problems associated with Home Theater Design and Construction. Additionally, attendees will learn how, when, and why to engage a trained electronic systems contractor (ESC) early in the design and build process.
