How to Get the Best Home Theater Sound Experience
Home theater sound systems provide the experience of watching a film, so while watching movies with simple stereo speakers or rerouting your headphone feed won’t do, nothing beats having an actual home theater system in place.
Studio-grade surround sound has never been simpler or more affordable, thanks to products such as the Monoprice 133832 5.1.4 system featuring upfiring speakers designed for Dolby Atmos.
Video
Home theater systems usually begin with an excellent television or projector, the goal being to recreate the experience of watching a movie at an actual theater by having as large of an image with great contrast and brightness as possible.
4K or OLED home theater source components offer superior picture quality. 4K Ultra HD offers three times higher resolution than traditional HD, producing sharper images that allow closer viewing without pixelation issues. OLED, on the other hand, uses a light emitting layer to produce captivating blacks and colors for a breathtaking viewing experience.
Many find it hard to justify the high cost of Blu-ray players for their home, considering streaming services provide comparable quality at much cheaper rates. But, if you’re going to invest in an impressive screen and surround speakers anyway, why not maximize their effectiveness?
Audio
People typically watch movies on flatscreen TVs with built-in speakers for an audio experience that falls well short of that offered by dedicated theater room technologies. Home theater systems allow viewers to experience cinematic movies using multiple speakers combined together into a 5.1, 7.1 or even Dolby Atmos setup for maximum immersion and viewing pleasure.
Immersive audio technologies bring studio-quality sound into living rooms at more reasonable costs than ever before, but true cinema-grade sound requires much more than an AV receiver and speakers; it requires media content that’s tailored specifically for the format and room layout to provide optimal experience.
If you want to elevate your listening and viewing experience, we suggest investing in a THX-certified speaker system like Monolith by Monoprice THX. Featuring four THX-265B bookshelf speakers and one THX-365C center speaker for ultimate home cinema, the Monolith can convert any den into an impressive home cinema environment; even expanding further with additional in-ceiling or height speakers!
Control
No doubt a home theater requires a great deal of equipment, but that doesn’t mean a cocktail table full of scattered remote controls is necessary to operate it effectively. Instead, consider investing in a high-quality universal remote that supports multiple devices and can easily be programmed; such as your TV, Apple TV, cable box, streaming device and game console (plus your sound system) plus its sound system. Investing in such an attractive yet responsive remote would save time when managing all these elements together!
