Hi all!
Been a while since I posted here. I finished my last theater at the end of 2011, and then had to move out of the house so I didn't get to enjoy it enough. Almost four years have passed since I moved out and I recently bought a house that has the space to build another theater.
We've been living here for about six months and got a lot of other projects out of the way so I decided it was time to start the theater. I'll try to keep my posts organized as this is the second time I do this.
I definitely have some questions for the experts, so I hope to be able to rope them in here when the time comes. But for now, I'll lay out some of the basics.
Room dimensions: 19' x 13' x 8'
Speaker configuration - Dolby Atmos 7.2.4
Equipment so far:
Here's a very preliminary design I've done for the room in SketchUp. The wall covering have to be refined. My last theater had fabric panels covering every inch of drywall. I'm thinking of leaving some strips of drywall exposed and having fabric panels with some kind of visible frames around them this time. Still have to hammer that out.
The hole in the side wall is for the equipment rack. I'll draw that in better at some point.
I'm going to try to post lots of pics, just because I know how much fun I have following other people's threads when there are lots of pics, so I'll do the same.
Leaving the next post blank for completed theater pics (in two years?).
