You have wanted that dream home theater forever. Now you are ready for it.  You have the right room in your house, and the time to enjoy it with family and friends.  You are thinking about screen sizes, sitting arrangements, and maybe even the classic popcorn machine to achieve that authentic movie theater experience.

There is one thing that you should not overlook in your home theater.  A great cinema experience is as much about the sound as it is the picture.  If you want to immerse yourself in the movie, you want to hear the explosions, the bullets flying overhead, and the dialogue clearly amid other ambient noise in the soundtrack. 

Choosing the right equipment and setting it up correctly is a big part of achieving that experience, but some rooms are challenged in the sound department.  Sound may reflect off hard surfaces, and the room shape may not be optimal.  These reflections can result in uneven bass across the room, and sibilant and annoying higher frequency sounds.

But there is a cure for subpar home theater sound in challenging rooms – acoustic treatment.  When you use Refined Systems to design and build your home theater or media room, this is something we consider to help you attain the optimal cinema experience in your Houston home.

Fortunately, there’s an easy solution in the form of acoustic treatments.
