They say that every new home cinema is a theatre of
dreams but it can be a nightmare to build. In bespoke
cinema design nothing is ideal if you’re fine-tuning the
system for the most immersive blend of audio, video
and design in rooms ranging in size, shape and material
construction. You’ll need an ultra-wide toolbox to handle
all the permutations and still produce genuine home
theatre atmospherics.
At Habitech we’ve been developing our home cinema
product range and support services to answer the obvious
challenges posed by, say, a glass frontage to a media room
where the side channels should go, and the unforeseen
ones such as space limitations behind walls and ceilings. In
time-honoured fashion we’ll supply the product versatility
you’ll need, backed-up by the ability to resolve on-site
emergencies with rapid support and knowhow.
It’s all part of a service that can begin with an invitation
to you and your clients to experience our Atmos Cinema
at Basingstoke, and then to scale that experience for the
client’s room with our new design software, which outputs
the ideal equipment spec (including acoustic treatments)
according to budget and room size, everything costed
and rendered for presentation to your client. Habitech’s
end-to-end support for each project from the design
stage to the premiere performance will ensure you draw a
deep breath of satisfaction with every perfect outcome.
Perfect Audio Image
Voted CE Pro brand leader in audio by US integrators
two years in a row, Sonance offers a precision blend of
in-wall and in-ceiling speaker design through the Visual
Performance line. If you’re building an Atmos or DTS-X
system involving height and side channels, VP’s cinema
range delivers matched high tech drivers and voicing for
in ceiling and LCR models to deliver pin-point imaging
across four performance levels. Angled mids and tweeters
in the surround positions will allow you to bounce the
sound off glass boundaries in those tricky media room
installs, and for height channels you have the option of
fitting VP in-ceilings, sharing similar driver engineering
for uniformly high sound quality. The forward-placed
high excursion woofers in all VP models minimise early
reflections so the blend with a choice of two in-wall subs,
the VP10SUB-NC 10” and VP12SUB-NC 12” - complete
with dedicated enclosures and dedicated Sonance DSP
amps - will be precise. Where mounting depth is shallow
use the VP Thinline in-ceiling/wall models, which max
out at 64mm (rectangular) and 80mm (round). For every
environment and every system configuration, complement
VP cinema with a supporting range of VP in-wall, inceiling, single stereo (with surround toggle), dedicated
Sonance VP line offers
superb sound and
versatility with luxury
in-wall/ceiling design
