Media Room Planning Guide
Your New Albany home includes a dedicated room perfect for a home theater setup. Here are some guidelines to help plan your system:
Screen Sizing
For 13ft viewing distance, consider a 75" to 85" TV or 100"-120" projector screen. Optimal viewing angle is 30-40 degrees.
Speaker Placement
For a 7.1.4 setup: front L/R at 22-30°, center at 0°, surrounds at 90-110°, rears at 135-150°, and four Atmos ceiling speakers.
Seating Layout
Room can fit up to 3 rows with 8-10 seats. First row at 9-10ft from screen, second row on 6" riser, third row on 12" riser.
Lighting Control
Install dimmable recessed lighting on separate zones: ambient, screen wall, and pathway. Consider LED strip accent lighting.
Room Treatment
Use dark, non-reflective paint (dark blue, charcoal, or black) for walls. Add acoustic panels at first reflection points for better sound.
Power & Wiring
Room has dedicated 20A circuit. Plan wiring paths for speakers, HDMI, and network. Consider cable management solutions.
