CASE STUDY
A world-class luxury Home Theatre setup By: Mehernosh K Pervez, Sound Decisions The client’s vision: Well-travelled and exposed to the top-notch private home theatre rooms all over the world, the client was looking for an Indian company that could create a world-class home theatre experience in his private space. His brief was clear, he wanted a minimum of 15-to-17-seater luxury theatre amidst his double-height living room, yet unobtrusive. Also, he didn’t want the projector and the screen to be visible when not in use. Primarily, the client’s father enjoys watching movies and hence his
son wanted to create a world-class experience solely for him. The basic idea was, why go to a commercial theatre when you can make it happen in the comfort of your own home and with much better video and audio experience than you could ever get from a commercial cinema set-up. Our analysis: The room was quite challenging with 23 ft high ceilings. The screen
was approximately 44 ft from the seating, so not many speaker brands can achieve great quality sound from such a distance. Therefore we used “Legacy Audio” custom-designed speakers for this, along with the Barco LOKI 4K high brightness laser projector, one of the best in the world. This was driven by a “Storm audio” processor and Parasound power amplifiers. Since the client wanted nothing but the best, we aimed to achieve it by integrating these brands. And it stood true to its performance!!
