Designing your home theater is an exciting prospect, especially if you are doing so in your new home. Getting all the elements right is crucial, from picking the right technology to the installation process. When choosing SDI Boston to help you arrange your home theater, you’ll have plenty of help choosing the right options for your expectations and lifestyle. In the meantime, we’ll provide you with a brief guide to the home theater essentials so you can get a better idea of the necessary items that compose this new space.

Surround sound

Sound is just as important as visuals when it comes to movie night. Installing surround sound speakers in your home theater that are enhanced by audio power amplifiers ensures the whole space is filled with immersive, high-quality sound. At SDI, we work with manufacturers like McIntosh and Savant to integrate smart home tech with stunning audio. Savant’s IP audio solutions allow you to control music and audio from your phone no matter what room you are in. We also offer hidden audio services, installing the equipment in discrete areas of your home, like walls or ceilings, to reduce clutter and keep the ambiance of your home intact.

Video projector or television

Depending on your tastes and the size of your home theater, you can choose either a video projector or a television to view your favorite television shows and films. Consider installing a projector in the ceiling of your home so you can avoid having clunky equipment around your beautifully designed room. For those who have a home theater set-up that doubles as a different communal space, your television can be hidden behind a wall, appearing only when you want it to.

Easy operation is important for controlling the visuals in your home theater. SDI can connect you with elite universal remotes that can be optimized for any visual system in your home.

Comfortable seating

Comfort is key for building a home theater your family loves and your friends can’t get enough of. Adding rows of platforms to your home theater allows you to install more seating in your space that doesn’t interrupt the viewing experience. Neutral colors for seating should be used, such as beiges and greys, which can visually expand the space. Opt for reclining seats so your guests can stretch and relax during long movies.

Watching movies is one of the go-to forms of entertainment for countless people, both across the nation and the world. However, while films remain generally popular, there's no doubt that the landscape of entertainment is going through unprecedented change, most notably due to the emergence of streaming and home entertainment.

In this blog, we'll be exploring the valid reasons as to why you might want to consider investing in a home theater, even if you don't consider yourself a cinephile. If that sounds interesting, keep reading below for more information!

Reason 1 - Safety 

Though it may be a bleak reality, in times of global health crisis, going to public spaces can pose a threat to anyone - and this especially applies to moviegoers. Though public cinemas are a great way to experience any feature film, let's be honest, they're not always guaranteed to be safe or sanitary. As such, a home theater can protect you, your family, or even your friends from viruses and other forms of illnesses. In a world where public health is uncertain, this is about as valid a reason as any to invest in a home theater.

Reason 2 - Save Money In The Long Term

Though it is perhaps another unfortunate truth about public theaters - movies are not exactly cheap. This is not to mention the additional prices you pay for bringing friends, buying popcorn, etc. Though installing a home theater may cost you upfront, you will certainly see a return on investment, as you will never be subjected to the high price of public cinemas again!

Reason 3 - It's Private!

Sometimes, we all want to just relax after a long day and watch a movie - and for that - we can't blame you. After all, watching a movie should be a leisurely experience, and if going to the nearest movie theater is an inconvenient process for you, then that just defeats the whole purpose! With a home theater, you can watch movies on your own time without having to start the car or even leave the house - it doesn't get any more convenient than that!

Here at SDI Boston, we install smart home technology to the greater Boston area, including home audio and video solutions, lighting control, motorized window treatments, and much more. Some of our most popular and appealing services, however, are our home entertainment solutions. We believe that upgrading the entertainment layout of any home is guaranteed to add instant elegance, convenience and fun. In today's blog, we'll be exploring the top reasons to invest in home entertainment solutions. If that sounds interesting, keep reading below for more information!

A More Effective and Intimate Viewing Experience

Whether it's film, TV shows, or just flipping through channels, we turn to entertainment to ultimately satisfy something of our personality that we're looking for. For example, some people may take in news programs to stay informed and up-to-date on current affairs, or alternatively, they might watch a comedy show to simply have a laugh. Regardless of what you're looking for in your entertainment, home solutions will enhance your viewing experience into a more effective and intimate one, in every sense of the word.

Audio speaker installations, which we are proud to offer here at SDI Boston, will help boost the auditory elements of your viewing experience. There's no doubt that speakers will help you hear any and all elements of sound as loud and clear as can be - you truly won't miss a beat!

Enjoy it with Friends & Family!

What's a good film or TV show without people to share it with? With the help of home entertainment solutions, you can both captivate and impress friends for movie night or even just a casual viewing. With the proper attributes of a home theater, you won't have to go out to the movies again - saving you loads of time, energy, and money over time! Investing in home entertainment is a no-brainer when it comes to entertaining people in your home.
