Making Your Home Theater Sound Better

If you are not getting quality sound from your home theater, then there are some ways you can improve or enhance your home theater sound quality. This article will be helpful if you want better quality from high-end speakers or budget speakers.

Before getting started, a vital thing to know is that sound quality is determined by more factors than quality of speakers themselves.

Try to adjust your room acoustics

You have got this big screen, got amplifier and the speakers set up, and got the furniture and a popcorn Machine, but there are still many things missing. You get the most advanced speaker system and high tech playback devices, if your home theater room has not been acoustically treated, then you have got half of the picture only.

Remember, audio is affected by everything in your room. So, it is very vital that your home theater set-up is comprehensive in that your factor is aspects such as flooring, decor, seating and what type of sound you want.

Maximizing acoustics

Your entertainment room must have the best possible home theater acoustic treatment to get an ideal balance between reflected and direct sound for a perfect listening experience. Our ears hear direct sound emitting from the speakers and reflected sound bouncing off the walls and other things like chairs, tables, fireplaces, windows, etc.

Reflected sound can contend with direct sound, as a result an imbalance listening environment. Home theater acoustics balance the direct to reflected sound ratio in accordance with the distance from our listening position.

Flooring

Home theater acoustic flooring material gives an absorption as well as diffusive effect. Personalized carpet can introduce high-frequency absorption because of its relatively to thin composition. Make sure that your home theater installer focuses on controlling mid level frequencies and let the higher ones provide a feeling of increasing spaciousness and air. In addition to this, thin carpet with natural fibers and think, fibrous material will give the essential absorption for your room's flooring. Acoustics home theater professionals advised installing a sound absorption pit at the first reflection point in front of your speakers. This pit gives good control over vertical reflections off the floor and this will improve movie dialogue clarity and stereophonic imaging under good conditions. Do not install too much sound absorption material in your room.

Decor

Same like flooring, another thing that affects acoustics is decor. If you have plenty of objects in the room, you create more potential interruptions in the sound movement throughout your space. We are not saying that you should not decorate your room but saying one speaker type can be better for the space than another. Installing acoustic material in or on your walls and ceilings is another way to compensate for speaker choices and decor. It will help you in keeping sound from bleeding into your neighboring rooms or softening the sound bouncing from the hard surfaces like tables, chairs, etc.
