Suitable audio and video equipment for the home cinema basement

A cellar often lends itself to being a home cinema room. However, setting up a home cinema in basement rooms requires precise planning, because the dimensions of the room and the lighting conditions play a decisive role in the correct positioning and installation of individual AV components.

To the projectors

Contrast

Contrast plays a more important role in a home cinema projector for the basement room than light output. The room can be completely darkened. A high contrast ensures a high black level and, with newer projectors, benefits HDR display.

Image resolution

Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) in 16:9 format or 4K (3,840 x 2,160) in 16:9 format.

Assembly

Ceiling mounting via ceiling bracket or placement (upright) on a cabinet. For this, however, the projector must have a strong vertical lens shift function.

Expert Tip:

Home cinema projectors with flexible lenses and lens shift function save a lot of trouble during installation. The image is also much easier to set up on the screen. Our trained experts will be happy to advise you on choosing and planning your projector and screen solution!

View screens

Screen size

The screen size is determined by the seating distance: Halve the viewing distance is a good guide for the screen width. If the room allows, an image size of 100" diagonal gives a great home cinema feeling.

Screen type

The home cinema basement usually has the advantage that you have the walls at your full disposal and do not have to compromise like in a living room. Therefore, a frame screen is recommended to provide the best projection result.

Installation

The projector is installed on a ceiling mount, while the screen is mounted on the wall. If an electric or manual screen is used after all, ceiling mounting is also possible.

Expert Tip:

If your room set up allows the screen to be installed in front of your speakers, you can consider a micro-perforated (acoustically transparent) screen. It lets the sound through the screen fabric and gives the centre speaker and the voices a realistic sound position. Just ask our experts, they will be happy to advise you!

To the audio components

Number of channels

The number of channels determines the number of speakers and thus the type of system. From the classic 5.1 surround system to the 9.2 system with effect speakers on the ceiling - the choice is yours!

3D Surround

In the audio world, the choice of 3D surround technologies has grown significantly. You can choose between AV receivers with Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D or DTS:X. We are happy to help you choose the right speaker combinations.

Loudspeaker set or individual components

Depending on the room size, installation options and your demands on sound quality, we offer you pre-configured speaker systems and individual speakers. We will be happy to advise you on the composition of your desired system and find the right combination of surround speakers, centre speakers and subwoofers for you and your home cinema room.

Expert Tip:

Depending on the resistance (ohms), the wattage per channel specified for an AV receiver may be fully or only partially available. Therefore, in larger rooms, make sure that there are enough watts per channel to be able to call up sufficient power reserves if necessary.
