Tap a scene. Projector source, screen aspect, processor preset, room lighting, climate and seating all shift in concert. Trinnov / Storm Audio processor chain, JBL Synthesis stage, acoustic-grade construction.
/ The discipline, in detail
How we approach home theatre.
There is a long, polite version of what separates a real cinema room from a living-room with surround speakers, and there is the short version: the room is the system. Acoustic isolation, treatment, sightlines and seat geometry are decided before a single piece of electronics is specified. We design the envelope first — wall mass, decoupling, HVAC silencer paths — then the treatment, then the loudspeaker layout, then the source chain. In that order.
Atmos and 9.1.6 layouts are dimensioned around the listening position rather than the architectural symmetry, because cinema is a single-listener art form even when there are eight seats in the room. Risers, bass-shakers and seating layouts are coordinated so that conduit runs are invisible at handover. Projection, screen, immersive processor and amplification are specified to the room's actual screen size and aspect — not the headline number on the brochure.
Every cinema we hand over carries a calibration report: response curves per seat, sub-woofer integration, time-alignment, and the colour gamut of the screen as measured in front of you. You see what we measured before you take delivery.
On record
Every home theatre engagement is documented end-to-end — design, programming, commissioning, calibration — and handed over with the files our successors would need if we were never to return.
/ Where we deploy this
Active across 2 sectors.
Home Theatre is rarely a standalone brief — it sits inside a wider sector practice with its own codes, expectations and operating rhythm.
/ Sister services
The rest of av.
A serious brief usually crosses two or three of these. Read across the discipline — we deliver them as one contract.

How home theatre talks to the rest.
A serious deployment of this system rarely operates in isolation. The disciplines below most commonly share its cabling pathways, its controller logic, and its cause-and-effect matrix.

/ Frequently asked
Home Theatre — what buyers ask first.
What's the minimum room size for a private cinema?
A dedicated Atmos cinema works from about 16' × 12' — below that we recommend a 5.1 media-room layout. The single biggest determinant of cinema quality is acoustic isolation and treatment, not size. A dedicated 7.1.4 Atmos room performs well from about 16' × 12'. Below that, we recommend a 5.1 layout in a media-room configuration. The single biggest determinant of cinema quality is not room size — it is acoustic isolation and treatment.
Projector or large TV?
Choose 4K laser projection for dedicated dark rooms above 120 inches; choose a 95–98 inch microLED or OLED for media rooms with ambient light. A dedicated, light-controlled room above ~120 inches, projection wins on image scale, eye comfort and dynamic range from 4K laser units. For a media room with ambient light, a 95–98 inch microLED or OLED is the better answer.
How much does a private home cinema cost in India?
Private home cinemas in India start around ₹40 lakh for an entry 7.1.4 reference room and routinely cross ₹2 crore for reference Atmos with Yamaha DSP and BenQ projection. An entry reference room — 7.1.4, 4K projector, custom seating, acoustic treatment — begins around ₹40 lakh. Reference Atmos rooms with Yamaha DSP, BenQ projection and Crown amplification routinely cross ₹2 crore. We scope every room to your music and film priorities first, budget second.
Atmos, Auro-3D or DTS:X — which immersive format do we calibrate to?
Calibrate to Dolby Atmos as the default for private cinemas in 2026; the room and seating geometry are optimised for Atmos with Auro-3D and DTS:X playback decoded as fallbacks. Dolby Atmos is the dominant format and the right default for a private cinema today; the available content library is the largest. We calibrate to all three on JBL Professional-grade processors so the room can decode whatever the source emits, but the room and seating geometry are optimised for Atmos.
Should the cinema be a dedicated room or a media room?
Choose a dedicated cinema for the absolute reference experience; choose a media room for everyday family use with motorised drapery for blackout. Both are engineered honestly with documented trade-offs. Black-painted, isolated walls, treated to a target RT60 of 0.30–0.40s, screen on a riser — give the absolute reference. Media rooms — with daylight, motorised drapery, integration into the living area — are an excellent compromise for families that want a usable everyday space. We engineer both, and we explain the audio and visual trade-offs in writing.
What's the right screen size for a given room?
Cinema screen size is 1.0–1.5× screen height for the front row and 2.0–2.5× for the back, modelled in CAD against the actual seating before specifying. 1.0–1.5× screen height for the front row, 2.0–2.5× for the back. We model the room in CAD before specifying — too-large a screen forces the front row uncomfortably close, too-small wastes the resolution of a 4K projector. BenQ sizes are spec'd to the actual room, never to a brochure recommendation.
