Home Theater Wall

A home theater needs to be functional before it's anything else. Those who have put in the expense to build a "theater" in their home need to be sure the sound and visual and placement of seating is just right before they'll delve into decorating, but when that time comes, there are some tips to add to the room aesthetically without taking away any of the functionality.

A room of this sort is bound to have floor speakers, and speakers that surround your peripherals and centrally located speakers for both the front and back of the sitting area. In some of the newer homes or the more expensive remodels, some, if not all, of these speakers may be placed in the walls of the home. Yet usually the floor speakers will remain out and near the television. The tops of which may be a prime opportunity for knickknacks when decorating. There may be shelving on the walls in this room for speakers or for remote controls. Those shelves are also a great place for decorative touches.

A typical theater room is designed something like this: The television is centrally located either mounted on the wall or standing just in front of it. There are floor speakers on either side of the television and another smaller speaker centrally located above the TV. There will be more speakers either mounted or on stands placed on either side of the seating area and one more speaker centrally located behind the seating area. Finally, there will be a special speaker called a subwoofer placed somewhere to the side of the seating area. The seating area is located around what some refer to as the "sweet spot" because during the action scenes in intense movies when the music swells, the vibrations of that sound are felt in the seating area. All of this is necessary for the functionality of the theater room. What's left is what you have to decorate.

In order to keep the functionality of a theater room, you must realize that the room needs to be dark. This is no room for growing plants or bright colors painted on the wall. Rich earthy tones will work here. Along with this, keep knickknacks to a minimum. This room is for viewing the television, not your china collection. Do not place fragile things in this room. There will be much vibration in this room and that may cause a fragile item to fall from its perch and break. Keep your decor simple here. Use rugs to add color to the room and hang pictures to add depth to the walls. Do not clutter up this room with much more than this.

Before anything else, a home theater needs to be functional. If you'll also entertain in this room, keep your decor to a minimum and use unbreakable items. Add color through the means discussed above and be okay with a sparsely decorated room. It will provide much enjoyment and sometimes simple really is best.

Home theater in-wall speaker wire??

If bought a Harman Kardon 6.1 surround system and I got wiring through the walls but the wires run in the same pipe as the A/C wires, I've read many articles, ones say there shouldn't be any problem as the speaker cables carry strong signals a thus are not affected by the interference from A/C wire but others say they are affected and in order to avoid interference they must be placed at least 16 inches from each other. I'm really confused, I would like to know what can I do, is there going to be any problem, should I run new ducts through the wall or can it be fixed just with switching to shielded wire??

Thanks in advance.

I'm curious why your speaker wires are running inside pipes in your walls, that's strange for a residence. Generally you want your speaker wires to cross any AC lines perpendicularly to reduce any interference, but the best judge of whether there is a problem is your ears. It won't hurt your new system to try out the speakers, so long as you are sure you are plugging in the speaker wires and not an AC live wire (but you'd probably figure that out long before you got it near your stereo!). Take a listen, if there is a noticible hiss or distortion you'll probably want to re-run the wires inside the wall away from any AC lines, you can tell this by looking for any outlets or switches nearby.
