A Dedicated Home Theater in Utah

There are two main categories of home movie theaters. The first is what most people picture, a dedicated theater or home theater room. This is a room that is dedicated to watching TV and movies and would rarely be used to perform any other function. A dedicated theater allows more control over attributes of the room such as lighting and sound, and can include a central vacuum system for easy cleanup. This allows for a higher level of performance and a more engaging theater experience..

Utah Home Theater FAQs

How do home movie theaters in Utah work?

Custom home theater rooms in Utah and elsewhere offer an inviting place to watch new releases and old favorites in a theater setting without ever leaving your home. Home theater systems focus on optimizing lighting, sound, and picture to give you the best viewing experience possible. Cables and boxes are installed out-of-sight, and everything is integrated, making it easy for the whole family to use. Home theaters are also designed to be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing and can quickly become one of the favorite rooms in the house! 

What is the most commonly used layout in home theaters?

When choosing a home theater, there are two types to choose from; 1) A dedicated theater room used solely to view movies, and 2) A media room that functions as a theater room in addition to another purpose, such as a family room or exercise room. Media rooms are the most common choice for homeowners due to space limitations. With Reed’s Built-Ins, you can customize your Utah home theater layout to fit your space and your needs.

Should I use a projector or a TV screen?

Deciding on a projector or a TV screen for your home theater installation depends on space, cost, and preference. The TV screen wins out for smaller theater rooms and more affordable options. However, a projector is a better option if you want a larger, custom-fit screen. Projectors perform better in dark spaces and larger rooms, giving you a more immersive theater experience.

It is crucial to consider the resolution, size, and screen technology. Experts at Reed’s Built-Ins help you find the ideal size for your space, recommend a minimum 4K resolution and explain your options between LED, LCD, OLED, and QLED screen technology.

How should my surround sound be set up for my home theater room?

For an authentic home theater experience, you will want to forego the standard built-in speakers with your screen. When you only have speakers attached to the screen, all the sound is emitted up front, leaving you with a dull sound and a poor audio experience. A full-surround audio system provides a genuine theater-like experience that balances out the sound and immerses you in the story. 

The closer your seats are to your screen and the smaller your theater room, the fewer speakers you need. You can work with the specialists at Reed’s Built-Ins to determine the best layout and customized listening experience with your home theater system in Utah. We can also answer questions about insulation and sound barriers.

What kind of lighting should I choose for home theaters?

Lighting is an essential, sometimes overlooked, component of a complete home theater room. You want track and recessed lighting in your theater room so there are no direct glares on the screen or other reflective materials. You also want a lighting control system to adjust your lighting when needed. Controlled lighting lets you immediately dim or light the room as much as you need, depending on the time of day, purpose, or mood.
