A Media Room Defined

Unlike designated home theaters with tiered seating that offer a cinematic experience, a media room is a multi-use space. Its mission is to provide fun for friends and family, whether enjoying a movie, the big game day, or fighting off hordes of monsters in Fortnite. As a result, movie seating may give way to comfy sofas, L-shaped couches, or reclining chairs.

 Think of your media room as an entertainment mecca, a place for you and your guests to experience the best music and video, play games, and enjoy each other’s company. When it's quiet on the home front, it's a perfect space for tuning into exercise videos, kicking back and enjoying a concert, or simply relaxing and letting the surround sound wash over you.  

Just about any room can morph into a media room. Basements, extra bedrooms, and family rooms have all materialized into media rooms.

 Many of our clients ask how to transition their family room into a media room when one family member is vehemently opposed to a large flat-screen TV front and center. Our certified technicians and designers tackle these unique environments every day, using custom touches and creating spaces that even the most design-conscious homeowner is delighted with. It’s all about choosing the right equipment, installation, and laying out the floor plan.  

The Right Equipment 

Today's projectors and hidden screen technology allow homeowners to double their living area as a state-of-the-art home entertainment space. At Bennett Technologies, we partner with best-in-class leading-industry brands to ensure the ultimate viewing and listening experience. One of these companies is Sony.  

Sony has led the industry in 4K HDR projectors that deliver incredible lifelike clarity, crystal clear images and detail, and full-spectrum, bright, vivid colors in high dynamic contrast. Their ultra-short-throw projectors define industry standards, creating a 100-120-inch diagonal image when installed just over 8-inches from the wall. 

The system's ultra-fast response rate and Motionflow also ensures blur-free images. As a result, you'll feel as if you're on the 50-yard-line, making the call before the referee even signals.

 Of course, audio is also an integral part of a media room; some suggest even more important than the video. Our certified technicians can install high-fidelity in-wall and in-ceiling speakers that are barely visible. Through careful placement and calibration, we’ll create the immersive sound quality that makes you feel as if you're part of the game or on the movie set.  

Integrated With Home Automation

 When you integrate your media room technology with your home automation system, you'll find bringing your media room to life easy and enjoyable. One-touch on a touchscreen, tablet, smartphone, or remote, and the motorized screen and projector descend from the ceiling, the lights dim, the blackout shades lower, and the movie or game begins.    

Due to brands like Sony and our custom integration, homeowners can experience the immersive cinematic and sport’s experience in just about any room in the house. If you'd like to learn more about media room design or schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Bennett Technologies today.
