As we all know, to create a good viewing environment, most of them are professional top-level private theaters with independent rooms. For ordinary people, in a city with limited housing area and high housing prices, the desire to build their own independent top-level private theater has become out of reach. Therefore, choosing the living room, the living space of the whole family, as the cinema environment is a necessary compromise.

Since you have chosen to set up a top-level private theater system in the living room, how can you create an audio-visual experience that is no less than a top-level private theater in such an environment? Let Xiao Kai talk to everyone below.

decorative wiring

In fact, to install an audio-visual system in the living room, you only need to adapt to local conditions, and do not have to stick to space and form. In the actual decoration process, more attention should be paid to the wiring and power supply.

After all, projectors or large-screen TVs, speakers, amplifiers, CD players, Blu-ray players, routers, computers, TV boxes, karaoke systems, control systems, air conditioners, and more. require the use of many electrical appliances. Although not all equipment needs to be used, careful consideration should be given during decoration, enough power sockets should be reserved for future equipment upgrades, and the distribution of power should be designed in advance. For high-power electrical appliances such as power amplifiers and air conditioners, a single wire should be used.

If the living room is to be transformed into a top-level private theater, in addition to the power supply, speaker cables must be arranged on the wall. Before decoration, consider the routing, quantity, and lead-out position of speaker cables, and even embed some high-definition cables into the wall in advance.

The number of speaker cables is generally 6. For a 5.1-channel system, since the 7.1-channel system has less film sources, it can be ignored. Of course, if the budget is sufficient, there are plans to upgrade and bury 8 speaker cables in the future. If HIFI speakers are arranged, two additional HIFI lines need to be added.

Also, pay attention to the thickness of the speaker cables. A wire that is too thin will obviously not produce good results, because the resistance of the thin wire is large, and the resistance of the wire will consume more power, and the loss of bass is particularly serious. A wire that is too thick has low resistance, but wastes material and money.

Since these lines are so complicated, what problems should we pay attention to when decorating buried lines?

First, we plan the plumbing for the plumbing and AV cables in consultation with the wiring workers and plumbers. Distribution pipes are buried in walls or underground and then sealed with cement. The diameter of the pipe is 1.5 cm, and the total cross-section of the internal wiring cannot exceed one-third of the cross-section of the pipe. After the ground is buried, the floor tiles can be laid directly after grinding.

The lines on the wall are preferably wrapped with galvanized iron pipes, because there is an expansion process after the cement mortar is laid, and the PVC plastic pipes may be deformed. If there is a short circuit or other problem in the line, the deformed PVC pipe is difficult to come out. The galvanized iron pipe can resist the expansion pressure of the cement mortar, and the later circuit problems are also easy to solve.

If the floor is paved, it is best to use cement or self-leveling to smooth the floor after the wires are down to the ground. If the ground is uneven, stepping on the floor is easy to make noise and affect the service life.

If we have already renovated and now want to remodel the audio and video system in the living room, how should we wire it? it’s actually really easy. At this time, you can try to walk in the shade and cover it with wallpaper. The wiring between the devices is usually plugged behind the TV cabinet, which will be more beautiful.

Sound insulation and sound absorption

When decorating the top-level private theater in the living room, in addition to paying special attention to wiring, it is also necessary to prevent the sound pressure problem generated by the living room theater. The sound pressure is enough to alarm the neighbors, upstairs and downstairs, so the audio and video sound insulation and sound absorption in the living room must be in place, so that you can sit at home with peace of mind and enjoy the shocking effect of ultra-clear movies. At the same time, the sound absorption and decoration are in place, which can also make the sound more pure and reduce the reflection interference of the sound. Therefore, for the top private cinema in the living room, sound absorption and sound insulation are a must.
