Planning & Design
Exceptional Home Technologies worked extensively with the homeowner and the builder to ensure the theater design met or exceeded all their requirements. EHT enhanced the environment by hiding all the speakers and equipment. The speakers are hidden behind acoustically transparent fabric. The projector is hidden in the soffit with a motorized mount and retracts when the system is turned on. The equipment is located in an adjacent audio/video closet.
Construction & Pre-wire
EHT provided the builder with all the framing requirements. This included the use of isolated the framing from the concrete foundation and using a staggered stud construction on the interior wall for enhanced acoustic isolation. All the cables are “home run” to the audio/video closet to the equipment rack or in-wall wiring panel. Conduit was installed from the projector to the audio/video closet to allow future installation of cables.

Acoustic Design
The acoustical goal of this theater is to make every seat a great seat in terms of sound. So the acoustical design was based on the “best practices” of Floyd Toole, former Vice-President of Acoustical Engineering for Harmon International (includes Harmon Kardon, JBL, Infinity, and Lexicon) and the design was even was approved by Mr. Toole. This theater features an extensive array of acoustic treatments including sound absorbers, 2D and 3D diffusers, and bass traps. All the acoustic treatments are hidden behind custom fabric covered panels and walls.
Equipment Rack
All the theater equipment (and the main equipment for the whole-house audio/video) is housed in an equipment rack located in the audio/video closet next to the theater. As the rear of the equipment rack, you can view the organized and tidy cable management. EHT had the builder include a super-quiet exhaust air system to vent any potential heat build-up.
Completed Theater
The completed theater provides an amazing experience that is a treat for your eyes and ears. With a touch of a single button, the video projector comes out of the ceiling, the lights dim, and all the necessary equipment turns on. The homeowner can view all the current forms of TV and media such as Netflix, cable TV, streaming music, and movie discs. So once you enter this theater, you don’t want to leave.
Interesting Fact
