When we have the confidence to create an exclusive living room private theater system for our family, the messy living room environment and a bunch of living room audio equipment purchased from a treasure have made you unable to start, and you start to struggle with what to do? Bian Xiao told you that to build a living room theater system, you not only need to face the pressure of technology and budget, but also the pressure of the viewing environment.

Living room structure

First of all, a formal living room is easier to deal with the defects of low-frequency sound. If it is a DIA or curved structure, you can seriously consider whether it needs to be redecorated and adjust the shape of the entire living room. If your living room is square, low frequency standing waves will be a big problem. If you have the opportunity, choose or modify the rectangular pattern, and then put the display and main speakers on the short wall. Of course, if you really don’t want to change the structure of the living room, you can find a top audio-visual designer to help you solve the problems caused by the shape of the room.

window

Unlike independent audio-visual rooms, you can consider reducing the number of windows. Of course, the living room environment hopes that the windows are as large as possible and as many as possible to get better lighting. But if you want to consider building a private theater system in the living room, many windows will become a burden, and sound processing and optical processing are more difficult. The fewer windows the better. If the number of windows in the living room cannot be changed, you can consider replacing it with double glazing. Heavy curtains or obstacles can also help, but it also means closing the blinds or curtains every time you open the theater system. If you feel it is necessary, you can choose curtains or blinds that provide complete shade. They will stick to the edge of the window to block the light.

wall

In general, the cement walls of the Chinese home environment are good for living room theaters. It should be noted that the decorations placed on the wall should be symmetrical. If you want to place the decoration of landscape paintings or oil paintings, try not to add glass frames, which will bring too much reflection to the sound and picture. You can also consider a soundproof wall specially designed for movie theaters, which can better prevent external sound interference or reduce interference to neighbors, and lower background noise can be obtained.

ground

Please spread as much carpet as possible on the floor, the thicker the better. It is best to lay a simple cushion under the carpet, which can not only absorb the surrounding sound, but also improve the comfort. Children can lie on it and play, and adults can sit on it and watch movies and chat.

Wall/room color

Generally speaking, the darker the wall, the better, so that when you look at a bright scene on the screen, you will not be distracted by the light from the wall. But in the living room, it is obvious that it cannot be surrounded by black and gray. A compromise is to keep only the dark color of the wall where the display is located. In addition to black and gray, it can also be matched with brown, tan, and olive. For other walls, try to choose a color that is not easy to reflect, such as eggshell yolk, or use matte paint. Colors that are too strong, such as red and blue, can cause strange projections to ambient light and may affect the colors you see on the screen.
