Every Home Cinema deserves perfect sound.
Many people spend a lot of money on a High end Audio system expecting it to sound good, straight from the box. We all want to listen to Movies & Music in perfect form, the way it was intended to be heard. Unfortunately all systems don’t sound like this. Most people don’t realise that room acoustics plays an important role in Audio systems, much so, that it’s just as important as the Audio/Visual equipment itself.
Does My Home Cinema System Need To Be Calibrated?
YES!
Room Acoustics is the most important factor when it comes to sound in Home Cinema systems.
All Home Cinema Audio systems need Calibrated & the room itself carefully analysed & controlled to get the very best from your system. Each room is different; it’s not only the shape of the room but also the furniture, flooring, curtains & other house hold items in the room.
What We Do
We use methods learned from both HAA & THX, including 20 years of experience from our Director who has assisted in the teachings of Audio Calibration in UK & Europe.
We will first evaluate the room (including sonic checks), component verification, design adjustment & electronic calibration phase:
- Using the latest TurboCAL and/or PowerCAL software from HAA.
- Our Sonic goal is to achieve the best: Clarity, Focus, Envelopment, Response, Dynamics and Consistency.
- Speaker checks, including: response, polarity, placement, separation and alignment.
- THX & HAA Room Mode calculation, including calculating standing waves (Room modes and Bass modes) Null spots.
- Acoustic Reflections. Analyse where these reflections occur so we can control them.
- Isolate Background noise & echoes. This will be from the room itself but also noise from other rooms which could interfere with your viewing & listening pleasure.
- Absorption & Diffusion.
- System verification.
- Subwoofer management. Achieving tight Bass.
- Structure Borne & Airborne Transmission Path. Building floating Stud walls, ceilings & floors. This not only helps with acoustical problems but also keeps neighbours happy!
All the above & more may be needed for superior Audio reference sound. Controlling & fixing room acoustics will achieve at least 50% better sound! Giving pure dialog, clarity & spacious surround sound in stereo & digital form. We want to achieve a dynamic sound with a smooth balance throughout.
