Creating a system you love shouldn't be difficult. The Acoustic Frontiers blog is here to help.
“CEDIA and its certified Electronic Systems Contractors (ESCs) follow these practices to deliver high value to dedicated home theater environments, helping ensure full performance potential for the equipment and the room.”
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) created a partnership in 2009 to create a set of home theater design standards.
CEB-22, Home Theater Recommended Practice: Audio Design, is the first document to be released from this effort. The guide outlines recommendations for the audio design of high performance home theaters.
Topics covered include loudspeaker layout, seating layout, low frequency optimization, sound isolation, the interior acoustical treatment of rooms and audio system component installation.
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."
