Today we have decided to help you by telling you what you need to set up a home theater and enjoy a cinema experience at the highest level, very similar to that of the big screen cinema near me. So take note, because these are the essential gadgets you need to build a superior quality home cinema. Lights, camera, and action!
A projector
Why a projector and not a Smart TV? The most similar experience to that of the movie theater is offered by a projector. Its great advantage over televisions is that for domestic use, its value for money is much more favorable. And it is also a matter of light because the projectors reflect it on a screen just as it happens in cinemas.
When it comes to projectors, there are plenty of models to choose from. There are even mini projectors and they are not very expensive.
If you are looking for a much more professional projector and you don’t mind raising the price a bit, the best you can buy is the Xiaomi Mi Smart Compact Projector, which costs around 500 dollars and offers you a FullHD cinema experience.
Projection screen
Although many projectors include a built-in screen, it is best to opt for the best. Because if you want to feel a cinema experience at home, well that… Let it be a cinema!
A good sound system
When choosing the multichannel audio equipment for your home theater you will have to pay attention to the acoustic characteristics, the materials, and size of the drivers, its configuration.
The minimum configuration would be a 5.1 system, which implies having five satellite speakers and a subwoofer. From here you can find more ambitious topologies. For just 300 dollars you can have this Logitech Z906 5.1 surround sound speaker system. There’s more affordable equipment you should check out like the VPI turntables.
A receiver
Finding a good receiver can be difficult since their prices and features are very different. We recommend that you stick to your budget and do not throw the house out the window with its benefits. For example, why pay extra for a receiver with AirPlay support if you don’t have iOS or Mac?
As for video features, it supports 4K UltraHD, Dolby Vision, and is 3D. It has a Bluetooth connection, four HDMI ports, zone B output for wireless headphones, AM/FM tuner with 40 station memory, Sleep Timer, and Auto Power Off.
Some blackout curtains
Blackout curtains are made of a thick, heavy material that blocks out more and better light. You can imagine why they are perfect for a home theater, right? And there are two main reasons to use blackout curtains in your home cinema: to improve image quality and to give it a better aesthetic for an authentic cinema experience.
These curtains measure 142 x 38 centimeters, although you can choose the size that you like best or that best suits your new cinema room, although the price will also vary. They are made of polyester and can block 90% to 99% of light if they are dark in color.
And not only that; these curtains are also capable of reducing outside noise when they are closed. The result is a dark, intimate, and quiet environment that is sure to be great for a true home theater experience.
