One of the more unique aspects of this cinema design project was that the acoustic treatment design needed to support the use of a commercial drop ceiling. These are often comprised of simple absorptive tiles, which don't work great in terms of delivering great sound quality. Our design incorporated a chequerboard mix of absorptive and non-absorptive ceiling tiles in addition to diffusers.

In terms of equipment, the speaker system utilized JTR speakers and the projection system combined a Seymour AV acoustically transparent projection screen with a 6000 lumen Vivitek laser projector.
Clint, an avid DIYer, planned on building his own home theater to cut costs until he realized the complexity of the task. "One piece of advice I came across most often was to hire a professional. I was hesitant, but I just found myself going in circles and didn't want to invest in something I'd later regret."
