Our clients’ basement renovation was focused around a goal to create a multi-use entertaining space where friends could gather and enjoy music, movies, games, and general entertaining overflow. We went with a clean design, where products could be heard but not seen, to support the multi-function space. All electronics, except for the projector and screen, were hidden in one centralized and easily accessible closet location and wirelessly controlled by a single controller.

In the space, we designed and installed a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos sound system with a Sony 4K projection system using a 133” 2.35:1 aspect ratio acoustically transparent screen by Stewart Filmscreen. The front soundstage (Left, Center and Right Channels) are hidden behind the acoustical transparent screen featuring Focal 300 series in-wall front and rear speakers and Dolby Atmos in-ceiling speakers. The Universal MX-990 remote controls the Marantz SR6013 receiver, Sony UBP-X1000ES Blu-ray, and Comcast X-1 Cable Box.

Though not originally designed as a dedicated theater, the client has now dubbed the space as “The Man Cave”.
