It is very common that no basic home
theatre room layout and design is complete without considering the appropriate
acoustic performance for the amusement space, whether that is a dedicated room
for home theatre or any shared space in the house.
Only few realize that the performance
of acoustics for a room is very much dependent on the layout, shape and size of
the room but the truth is that when it comes to a home theatre room design, the
room layout can affect picture quality & acoustics, but overall comfort and
movie enjoyment. No matter how good the sound system is, if the home theatre
environment within which it is performed is not tuned towards a good quality
sound, it will sound terrible.
However, there is more than to just
striking a balance when it comes to home theatre room design. Directly related
to a home theatre room, the acoustic performance is controlling noise
transmission between nearby rooms in your house. Neither have you wanted to
disturb others with your home theatre sound, nor to get disturbed during a good
movie with some undesirable noise from outside.
In other way, we can say that we have
to create a room with in a room to isolate the inside walls, ceiling &
floor, as much as possible from the rest of the house. In this way, you will be
able to control the effect of the sound system on the room itself as well as
stop the transmission of sound from both within as well as from outside.
While soundproofing a room, it can
turn out to be expensive but the truth is acoustics can be done without
spending big money. The cause is that when it comes to the transmission of
sound between nearby rooms, the worst contributors are the windows & doors
rather than walls, ceiling & flooring.
If your room shape is inadequately
proportioned, the dimensions need to be corrected. Possible solution that can
be done here would be the use of drywall partitioning by a small projection or
a fitted wall unit that you can use to house your big screen display and
the front speakers, etc. Effort spent at this stage of your home theatre room
design will certainly pay off later during your movie viewing & music
listening.
