Acerbis is one name forever dedicated to providing novelty to the world of entertainment furniture. So much so that they have many a time intermeshed means of recreation with items of furniture. Take its New Concept collection for instance. Currently on display at Salone Del Mobile 2009 along with the Lyneus Lodovico audio-video cabinet, this one is a great combination of an LCD and a projection screen with a modern furniture type.

The model that took our breath away is the NC Base Superschermo 100 Cabinet. Well as the name  suggests, this one is capable of concealing a projection screen right in its belly so that your living room gets transformed into the TV room at the press of a button.

The screen is automated and flaunts an available projection width of approximately 2 meters for the 16:9 formats. The picture is high quality and the luminosity feature makes the electronic compatible with most available projectors on the market. A very smart alternative to a home theater room. Imagine the space you will be saving.

Modern technology transforms movie magic into your own living room with its home theater systems. Yet, there is nothing like having your own movie room exclusively built for the purpose. That is a fashionable trend catching on fast and with more guys looking at their garages as exclusive sanctuary for their ‘guy things’ and a weekend retreat away from the home and kitchen, turning garages into Home Theater seems a pretty cool option. Of course, you could also watch your favorite football game on Saturday night on the same screen in HD.

This is one of the more classy home theaters that you will find and this really cool garage turned into home theater has actually adopted simple design to make it look like a real multiplex. There is the red carpet, the seat styling, comfortable leather seating, and wallpaper that oozes class and that big screen with surround sound to complete the visual magic. It is astonishing how such simple imitation can sometimes work so well, as ultimately we are reminded of the theater atmosphere.
Bjorn Kristensen has surely done a remarkable job with his own garage!

What is the most you can do to watch your favourite sport? What did we all do during the last Cricket World Cup? At most, we were faithfully glued to our television sets. It’s amazing how much passion people have to utilize their hobby into something more than that. Ever thought of making a custom-built home theatre for your kin and kith?

Our featured hero got this idea and fixed a deal with First Impressions Themed Theatres Inc. to make custom-designed home theaters. It took more than $300,000 and a hard work of four months for this dream to materialise. The designer of the project and company owner Jeffrey Smith created a never before wonder by having a floor that vibrates. In his words “the floor doesn’t stroke the walls or the concrete beneath… It enlarges and contracts with air pressure, so that when the subwoofers jolt in, you can feel the whole lot coming up from base of seats.”

All this looks wonderful with light blue LED lightings, the concealed bass absorbers, omni diffusers and strategic deflectors, enhancing the sound and the visual of the set up. The theater chairs are fully motorized having Granite drink holders and condiment trays. And when ever you may wish to hit the bar, its right behind you in its green marble-topped glory, and christened as “buddy bar”. Mr. Smith has been sensible enough to the other people in the household and made noise from leaking into the rest of the house, next to impossible. So, your husband and your children can be having a happy brawl over the score while you may be peacefully enjoying your book in the other room.

If installing LCD and erecting projection screen individually occupies much space unnecessarily then here is a space-respecting solution for you. The Elite Raptor projection screen features a 100 inch projection screen over an LCD without disturbing its functionality and your needs. The Raptor projection screen is an electric floor-rising screen that obscures itself in a furniture cubbyhole befitting your living room decors.

Offering the aspect ratio of 16:9, the screen is available in three sizes i.e. 72, 84 and 100 inches. The mechanical cross-rising structure has erratic height settings to lodge diverse screening background. It features Elite’s MaxWhite FG fiberglass-backed textile for a flat surface in 1.1 gain. They say it is an ultimate model to be installed in theater environments or executive conference rooms.

On a mere push of a button, both screen and projector emerges. The Raptor projection screen sports an incorporated 5-12V trigger for drop/rise harmonization with the projector’s power cycle along with IR/RF recipients for wireless process.

Expected to hit the market by September, the anticipated price of $3,999 includes an RF remote and ZR800D IR universal learning remote that enables synchronized screen maneuver across eight devices. The cupboard is accessible in matte black or cherry wood finish and would be exhibited at CEDIA Expo 2008.

We all like to experience the larger-than-life silver screen inside the luxury of our house. With a variety of home theatre systems plus other equipment at hand and enough money to spend, most of us can afford to have the ultimate home theater experience. Still, something is missing. The reason being the acoustics and architecture of the room! It is a known fact that poor acoustics significantly reduces the charm of watching a movie. Then what’s the solution? Ever wondered about converting your living space into a mini-theater? One with exact seating arrangement and a stage and the similar heavenly clarity in sound.

Well, now it’s possible. Thanks to Jeremy Hummer. Once a professional broadcast T.V. system integrator, now a residential systems installer. His passion for movies and his sound knowledge about wiring and installation of sound equipment, led him to completely overhaul his 500- square-foot garage (at his house in house in Gulfport, Florida) into a brand nouveau theater complete with actual film projectors, a screen, and a multi-speaker sound system. He began remodeling his garage in 2004 and within 6 months his achieved most of what he wanted. Still, to get the real effect, he handled the wiring and equipment installation himself so that, the sound quality could not be compromised. Keeping in mind the acoustics and architecture of his garage-turned-theater he added tiered seating and a stage (both filled with R-30 insulation to exclude acoustic resonance). Now he owns and runs Electronic Home Designers and would be more than happy to take your order and convert your living space into a real-life theater.

His work offers true value for money, as he believes in using the best equipment according to the acoustics, architecture and electricity available in a client’s house. So, if you are interested, touch space with him now.
