The craze of home theatre (HT) is driving the AV markets crazy. Some people find it more convenient to watch a movie in the cozy comfort of their home rather than at a movie theatre.
The prices of HT equipment are going south and the demand is moving north. Another factor responsible for boost in sales is the dramatic decrease in prices of large screen panel TVs like Plasma LCD, LED and 3D LED TV’s and DVD players. DVD players are available at prices as low as Rs 2,000 onwards and plenty of original prints of new movies are also available as consumers are all out to create a theatre ambience.
How does one do that? With HT equipment!
A typical HT equipment consists of l A large screen TV with high resolution
l 5.1 DVD player
l If you crave for a realistic home theatre sound, then a very good HT amplifier is a must. A HT Amp can produce special home theatre effects like surround sound, Dolby sound effects or digital theatre sound and several other effects)
l A good combination of speakers, which will produce the right blends of high, mid and low frequencies.
Summing up, your HT equipment should have the ability to distribute audio and video entertainment throughout the room you wish to dedicate as your theatre room.
Let’s warn you, no matter how low the prices, once you have gone through the above explained gambit of creating your high-end home theater, it could burn quite hole in your pocket.
Reader’s Query
I believe an addition of a sub-woofer to my sound system can make a remarkable difference in sound reproduction. What exactly is a sub-woofer?
Columnist response
A subwoofer is basically a loudspeaker dedicated to low-pitched audio frequencies, popularly referred to as bass. Subwoofer is generally added on to sound systems, which fall short of producing low frequencies. Music lovers, who need high-level of bass, do add on a subwoofer to their existing set of speakers. The basic use of subwoofer is at home, or in the car and for professional purposes. Nowadays, some sound experts tend to use subwoofers in any event such as bar and restaurant, café, theatrical performance and many others. It is generally recommended that you place your subwoofer in the corner of the room, however right placement of speakers does require some amount of expertise.
