Home Theater Design involves more than choosing the right equipment. At Thor Atreides, we first focus on important physical room aspects such as lighting, acoustics, sight lines, seating positions. One of our specialties is to disguise high-performance theaters inside existing rooms. Indeed, some of our finest theaters remain virtually invisible until show time. A Thor Atreides home theater offers push-button convenience for the entire environment - including lighting, automated blackout shades, and motorized projectors and screens. After all, you want to relax and be entertained, not fumble in the dark with complicated remotes.

No More Waiting in Line 

Our Home theaters range from dedicated movie palaces with all the architectural trappings to conventional systems that coexist with a room's established decor and function. 

Home theaters combine surround-sound audio with a front or rear video projector and video sources (DVD, CATV and satellite). An ACS home theater is often part of a multi-zone entertainment system, as well. 

Our engineers evaluate your home theater space as an environment. Everything - size, shape, windows, doors, lighting, HVAC- impacts the design. In addition, we can specify acoustical treatments that isolate theater sound from adjacent areas. 

Features that we routinely can incorporate into any home theater include: Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround sound; THX processing, which optimizes performance in small spaces; motorized video screens and projector lifts; lighting with programmed scenarios; automated black-out window shades; and "open architecture" touch-screen remotes that consolidate all functions into one, user-friendly interface.
