For in-person meetings, presentations and shows, incredible sound can’t be beat — and the best sound comes from home theater systems. Staples offers a variety of options for homes and businesses who want to wow their audiences with sound that fills the room. Read on to learn more.
What Are Home Theater Systems?
Home theater systems mimic the vivid soundscape of a movie theater in your home or office entertainment area. They include a series of speakers that surround the listener for total immersion. Each serves a specific function and is connected to a main control unit such as a DVD & Blu-ray player or a digital receiver. The central speaker plays the primary sound, while a subwoofer plays bass. A series of left and right speakers provide top sound quality and ambiance.
While primarily designed for a home set-up, home theater systems are also ideal for the workplace. These sound systems are used in offices or boardrooms to share audiovisual presentations and other media. They're also suitable for verandas, patios or outdoor areas during functions to keep guests or clients entertained.
How Do You Install a Home Theater System?
Most home theater systems include the main control unit and at least a few speaker units. You’ll need to supply your own screen, like a television or computer monitor, if you’d like to display video content.
Many products also include a speaker wire to connect the home theater speakers to the receiver, however some use Bluetooth technology instead, making the setup less cluttered. You’ll still need wires for connecting the main control unit to a sound source, unless you purchase a wireless system that connects to a Wi-Fi network instead.
Follow these simple steps to set up a home theater system:
- Choose the space where you want to install a theater system and determine its square footage to see how many speakers you’ll need for powerful surround sound.
- Place your screen and speakers where you want them in your home theater room. It’s recommended to put front speakers at ear level and face them at a 45 degree angle into your audience. The central speaker should be directly above or below your screen. Then, either use side speakers or back speakers angled diagonally to place the audience in the center of the soundscape.
- Connect your device wires according to the brand’s directions.
Can You Add More Speakers to Home Theaters?
Yes, home theater systems allow for more equipment to be added. For larger rooms, extra speakers may be necessary to provide the sound levels you desire. The number of additional speakers required depends on the size of the entertainment room and the level of sound needed. A small studio apartment might only require a few speakers, while a large boardroom may require 10 or more. Additionally, ensure you comply with noise requirements for your building or area.
How Much Power Does a Home Theater Require?
Most home theater systems use about 50 watts of power. Depending on the size of the room, it might be necessary to use more powerful speakers to properly fill the room with sound, requiring up to 150 watts.
