THX HAA ISF Reference Home Cinema

Years of experience in home theater has brought me to the stage to build a reference home "cinema" that fulfill all the requirements in the THX, HAA & ISF Standards. 

From 2D planning stage to 3D rendering with lighting effect and controls, there will be tremendous amount of equipment and coordination involved. 

2D plan with proper calculation on all positions and angles. 

3D rendered with lighting and shadow. 

Building ceiling framework with woods & aluminium reinforcement. 

Spaghetti wires for audio and video feed. As well as HD AV steaming to whole house. 

Inserting fiber optics lighting. This is a painful process which requires a lot manpower and time. 

Although it's a painful process but seeing the end result is fulfilling. 

Finally painted and trimmed on the fiber lighting. 

A standalone dB riser without interfering the existing system. 

Comes the carpentry work. Stage wiring for LED light strips, power points for future Hifi setup. 

Frames are up, awaiting for side pillars, lighting fixture, acoustic panels and carpet. Sciroco Ventilation fan 325Cu/min is up. Air conditioning will be installed next week. 

Choosing the right material and colors is always the toughest because there are factors to take in consideration. Reflection and lighting could altered the colors. 

High quality RGB LED light strip will be used to enhance the mood. 

LED strips are up. 

Carpentry work done on 4 oct 2013. 

Pillars are up. 

Rear section. 

Cooling and ventilation system up and concealed. 

Front stage where a 133" 16:9 acoustic transparent screen will be mounted. (Led strip is not completed yet)

Wall finishes with 12.5mm gypsum boards to provide a tad of damping. Wallpaper will be next. And the final finishing will be acoustic panels. 

Once the structure is completed, system will be installed and carefully calibrated to provide the best sound ever in home cinema. This project will allow clients to experience what a true home "cinema" should look, feel and sound like. With proper planning, it is not necessary to spend a fortune to get it done. I always believe in having the best value for money combination and have never agreed in simply spending in high end gears without properly calibrated by a professional who knows what they are doing. Like I always say, a dealer is not necessary an enthusiasts. Most people do it for a living, some pushes you to buy unnecessary gears or accessories but I do it for the love of it, this is my passion and I want all of you to be able to squeeze the best performance out from your systems regardless how much you have invested. 

I will be reviewing more when this project goes into the furnishing stage. So stay tune!
