Things That you need to invest For Ideal Home Theatre Room
The Most Mandatory One – Design and Acoustics
Say you have chosen a room for your home theatre. However, if you don’t have a special room, you can expect a fee of INR. 2000 to INR. 16,000 per sq. to build one depending on the material used and the construction needed. When we get all the equipment needed, we definitely have to put everything in the right place. It takes knowledge to complete this. It can also be charged somewhere from INR. 1 Lakh to INR. 2.5 Lakhs if you want a few lines for seating.
Don’t Miss Out On acoustics
If the acoustics are bad, nothing sails. It doesn’t matter how expensive the equipment or how good the sound quality is, if you can’t understand what the actors say. Then your money will definitely sink down. Caring for acoustics will make the average audio equipment sound better. Costs vary for acoustic. It approximately varies between INR. 30,000 to INR. 2,00,000 depending on the size of the room and the quality of the panel.
Do not Forget to Hire a professional to take care of the design
Potential costs hiring someone who specializes in a home theatre design will be charged around
INR. 30,000 – INR. 2,00,000. However, we must say that this money is well spent.
Selecting your equipment
When building your own custom home theatre, you should avoid the average “home theatre” system. It will be a waste of money and clear time. For custom home theatres, you can hope to spend an additional INR. 5,50,000 for equipment.
Now let’s see what’s wise to invest.
Projector screen
The screen may be one of the most important parts in this story as the projector. If you get good quality, it will last for years. However, we must say that it is worth the money spent. If you go with a cheaper solution you will not understand all the benefits of good quality projectors.
Surround Speaker System
The speaker is the next important thing that is worth spending money. When you are in the design phase for your home theatre, you must select an adequate speaker. You can buy a speaker system of 5 or 9 surround speakers and this is definitely something you should not save.
Front and middle channel speakers
Three main front speakers. When compared to surround speakers, the three are more important. Special attention must be paid to middle channel speakers because most of the dialogue comes from this one.
Subwoofer
Good quality subwoofers price rises depending on the quality. It’s also another thing that you shouldn’t think of saving money.
Home theatre projector
Projector technology has increased dramatically for years and we suggest you not get anything under INR. 50 thousands. Of course, if you have enough money, you can get a projector in a price range of INR. 3 lakhs to INR.10 lakh which will offer 4K resolution, exceptional video processing and widescreen features.
Home Theatre Receiver
The Receiver of a home theatre is the pumping part of your home theatre system. Everything from surround sound processing to amplification occurs there.
If it doesn’t burn your budget, you can invest in multi-channel amplifiers and separate home theatre processors.
Home theatre seating
People use all kinds of furniture in their home theatre. Price range can vary from several hundred to several thousand dollars per seat. When you think about it, you have to sit there for two hours, it must be something worth thinking and also invests. At least you have to get some good quality seating which is around INR. 25,000 per chair.
Installation and Calibration
Installation of components and their calibration is something that is often ignored. The home theatre and all equipment require calibration that can really make a big difference. The cost of installation and calibration varies depending on the equipment, acoustics, and other things.
Cable
The cable is important, to ensure that the sound quality is top notch. Many home theatre settings do not pay attention to the type of cable used. It in return gives completely distorted sound and sometimes video. You want to make sure you get a high-quality cable that supports the burden that is awarded to them.
So, when choosing a cable, you want to make sure that they are ideal in size as well as width. For home theatre, you want 12 or 14 gauges cables to get the best sound quality.
The Bottom Line – do that’s right for you!
What you spend relies on what you desire and where you will use it. The examples above provide general guidelines about what is expected.
You can adjust home theatre spending for your personal needs. You can spend hundreds, thousands, of dollars in home theatre room.
You have many choices, and that’s what it should be. However, this is the theatre of your home!
