Look cool European Cup practical guide: From selection to installation, teach you to build a worthy living room theater

With a home theater, summon a group of friends and friends to watch the HD European Cup, beer food and overnight carnival...

Looks beautiful, doesn't it? But behind every home theater that Aunt Zhang’s value-friends blazed out, there was an easy time to build.

Home theater as a system is much more complicated than buying a mobile phone, a TV, and a refrigerator. Users need to consider more things and concerns: how to match, how to connect, how to place? The most important thing is how to get home LD's approval. Many home theaters may have died at this stage. It is important to say that the value of the cinema is important, but please don't forget that this is a face-watching world. The “face value” of a movie theater is not closed. I am afraid that the LD in the home will not let you pass.

Ronaldo

Since joining Aunt Zhang, Xiaoyin has always been committed to the popularization of home theater knowledge, and has always hoped that home theater can be popularized into more valued friends' homes. Previous

Dedicated to solving doubts on how to pursue a high-definition home theater, many valued friends think that it is too tall.

In today's experience, Xiaozhu tries to lower down some questions and answers a question that has been lingering in the minds of value-friends – how to make home theater get rid of the silly traditional image and become a “Cola”-like facial value. The player (sorry, I'm going to move closer to the European Cup theme. I don't like C Ronald's brain make up Song Zhongji).

2016 CIT

Let Xiao Shao start from the just-concluded 2016 Beijing CIT show. In contrast to the annual consumer-oriented "Guangzhou Audio Show", this CIT show is mainly for distributors in the audio custom installation industry. Therefore, the popularity among consumers is very low. I believe there are few Beijing-based friends to visit.

CIT brand

However, Xiaoyao strongly recommends qualified valued friends to look at this exhibition for 2017 next year. Because you can meet many top audio brands here, you can see many cinema equipment that you don't normally have a chance to see. The most important thing is that many of the top home theaters that you can sit and experience using millions of home theater devices to watch movies are not the usual benefits.

Amway has had so much to do with the show. Xiaokang is not the organizer. Instead, he wants to use this opportunity to think about how to improve the value of the home theater, starting from the theater layout and products at the exhibition.

Note: The following exhibition pictures are real shots, because the light is dark and the quality is more than slag. Please excuse me. The rest of the pictures are mostly from the Internet. If there is a complaint of infringement, Kasumi will delete it on its own.

Step 1: Harmony

Below is an exhibition hall in the CIT exhibition.

CIT Hall 1

Well, I admit that the shape and placement of this type of speaker is very conspicuous, and it is enough to “suck the eye”. However, the LD's family's LD will agree to put such a set of things in a carefully decorated living room?

Get out

From the perspective of Siu-Tsang, this is the first stop for many value-friends to purchase a home theater. After all, spending a thousand or twenty thousand to buy a device is not a big burden. However, if the home improvement style is neither fish nor fowl, home LD here is absolutely impossible.

solution:

Choose a miniaturized/designed/light-colored audio equipment.

like this,

Harmonious arrangement 1

Or like this,

Harmonious arrangement 2

Many people have such concerns about this type of product:

Such a small set of things, watching movies to listen to songs can take it? ;

Have a sense of design speakers, sound quality will be better than the square box? ;

If it is not black, does it seem unprofessional?


For these concerns, Siu-Chan talk about their own views:

After making a decision, the goal is clear! In order to obtain LD's budget approval, it is imperative to find a device that can please LD. At this time, depending on the style of home furnishings and LD's preferences, the probability of approval of miniaturized/designed/light-colored products is very high.

For example, this set of aunt ming_cz friends

Value Friends Cinema 1

It is a perfect fit with home improvement, small and stylish. Moreover, Dafa products have the belief to top up (Just a joke). People who came from the 70s have a special plot that can't be explained clearly for SONY.

If the audio in the picture above is replaced with the one in the figure below, what value does the value-friends believe will decline through approval?

JAMO suit

Of course, this is not to say that this Jamo's product is not good, as long as it is properly tuned, its effect will certainly exceed that of Sony. However, for these reasons, Xu could not be aware of the effects of his own, and lost the opportunity to purchase a home theater, or destroyed the harmonious style of the home. It is not worth the candle.

Many value-friends have consulted in the comments on how effective Sony and other brands of wireless speakers are and whether they can take on the responsibility of using them in the living room.

The answer is:


However, everything is not absolute, as long as the relationship between living room decoration style and equipment is well handled, even if it is for the selection of traditional speakers for sound quality and effect, there is no problem at all. Just keep in mind: harmony .

harmonious

Here a small fire borrowed a few foreigners for the decoration and matching things.

Jazz living room theater

The figure above can really integrate the great guy of Klipsh Kress into the living room. It is rare. In the main living room style of black and white, this pair of black main boxes looks completely unconcerned. The model in the picture has been discontinued and the RF-62 sold is on sale.


B&W living room theater

The figure above uses the valuable B&W 800 series. If this style is so placed, is it acceptable to most people? In fact, Xiaogan wanted to give Tucao the TV screen, hundreds of thousands of speakers were used, and how to get 80,100 inches.

NAD living room theater

NAD's home theater, which is a veteran British manufacturer, has a dark color palette and a small THX brand, which has won my heart. Xiaoda has used a NAD amplifier and CD player at home, and the strong thrust has been impressive. The unique dark gray panel design of NAD is in harmony with the system and wallpaper in the picture. The amplifier has been discontinued and new models have been put up for sale.


Step 2: Exclude yourself from your exposure

In a word, it's wrong to expose the field... No, the living room's exposure is a habit of many home theater users. Whatever speakers are subwoofers, amplifiers and projectors, and projectors are all standing there, they not only destroy the decoration style, they occupy a lot of use area, and they are easy to encounter. Even if there are children at home, they increase. A lot of potential dangers.

And, moreover, (letting Jokhan meet the European Cup theme). With so many friends looking at the ball, the exposed speakers not only get in the way, but also easily become the target of venting anger. What if you drunken your speakers? (Isn't it far-fetched)

Swing out

As for why everyone likes to show up, the reason is very complicated. It may be caused by nature. (Jia really didn't think of the Beijing IKEA photo event that happened a few days ago. It really didn't...). Komaki thought it was the legacy of the Hi-Fi era. When the sound was in full swing, the money also needed queuing to snap up a set. What is so expensive and time-consuming to buy, and like a large-screen color TV, how can it be done at home? How do people know that you are rich and tasteful? So more or less exposed with some show off ingredients inside.

Although so many years later, more expensive than the sound, more and more suitable for showing off more and more items, people still think that the subconscious inside the sound comes with the attributes of display. For this kind of "bad habits," Xiao burning's opinion is adamantly resisted. Theater sounds should return to the essence and become channels and tools for individuals to enjoy movies and music and enter more families. As for the show off, let the car house take over. 100,000 yuan license plate, 270,000 Huhuang A motorcycle license, hundreds of millions of houses, not enough to show off you?

In other words, not everyone wants to reveal, just the sound of this pile of things, sometimes it really makes people headaches how to display. In the end there is no hidden secret? Please listen to the small fire slowly.

As mentioned earlier at the Beijing CIT show, all the major manufacturers have their own supernatural powers and can't wait to get all their equipment out. Moreover, because it is a temporary exhibition, the building is in a hurry and the exposed people are exposed. Coupled with the popularity of panoramic sound and DTS:X cinema today, there is a new new equipment in the exhibition hall - the aircraft frame.

In general, what you see in each exhibition hall is the general situation of the following diagram. Would you like to make the living room like this?

CIT Cinema 1

However, there are some special ones.

CIT Cinema 2

Two different sets of panoramic sound systems have been installed in the figure above, wall-mounted and wall-mounted. The environment is covered with a black net cloth, which is very cinematic.

CIT Cinema 3

There is also a plan to surround you with dozens of speakers. It takes some time to count how many speakers they use.

Of course, there is also a map that is full of strong sense of the Shanzhai, the effect of what ... to be verified, at least Xiaoyao is not to hear what is known.

CIT Cinema 5

Guess there are a few subwoofers behind the curtain, guessing there is no prize.

Wait, Xiao burning classmates, aren't you talking about refusing to "expose" and hiding equipment? Then what is the equipment on top?

The above example says that the equipment is not suitable for the living room .


However, while major manufacturers demonstrated their exaggerated display and effects in theaters, they also resorted to another magic weapon.

In-wall/ ceiling mounted speakers

CI Show

With this thing, the living room theater finally did not have to bear the stigma of “exposing”.

With regard to wall-mounted speakers, some friends may be relatively unfamiliar.

Xiao Shao classroom:

In some people's impressions, in-wall speakers are cheaper and less sound quality than traditional speakers. But it is not!

Comparison should be conducted on the basis of fairness. Relatively speaking, in many applications of in-wall speakers, the sound quality is more in appearance and price, and some compromises have been made. If they must be compared, they should be compared on the basis of the same high-quality devices and the same price. In terms of sound performance, the in-wall box that Xiaoshao has heard is definitely not inferior to traditional speakers of the same price.

In the modern decoration style living room, the in-wall speaker is the most integrated. Therefore, Xiaoyao is highly recommended. For newly-renovated users, in-wall speakers are definitely the first choice for living room theaters.

Hidden theater

A completely invisible living room theater is the most appropriate.


How to choose and install a set of such theaters? Actually it is not difficult, follow Xiao burning step by step.

One: Determine what kind of system is needed based on budget and room layout.


According to the number of speakers can generally determine the grade of this system.

Getting Started: 5.1 (5 in-wall speakers, 1 subwoofer),

Intermediate: 5.1.2 (5 in-wall horns, a subwoofer, 2 ceiling horns),

Advanced: 5.1.4 (5 in-wall speakers, 1 subwoofer, 4 ceiling speakers). Note: The layout of 7.1.4 is generally difficult to arrange in the living room.


Two: Select the appropriate speaker based on the size of the room and your needs. .


In general , the configuration of the first three (left, center, and right) channels is higher than that of the surround and ceiling channels. Of course, if you are not bad, you can use all the channels in the same way. This can achieve the best results. Even if you can't use the same speakers for all channels, the first three channels must be unified. Remember to remember.

If the area is around 20 square meters, the first three channels can be completely selected with 5-inch bass plus high-frequency two-way speakers.

20 square meters selection

If the area is more than 30 square meters of the living room, the first three channels are best able to choose dual 5 inch or 6 inch bass speakers.

30 square meters selection

In the larger area of ​​the living room, you can choose to use more of the larger unit's speakers as the main speaker. Don't look too big. It's still a wall-mounted design.

Local choice

For the surround speakers , a two-way configuration of the tweeter + 5-6 inch woofer can be selected.

Surround channel

As for the overhead channel , you can choose a round ceiling speaker.

Ceiling speakers


Subwoofer selection:

The smaller the easier it is, the easier it is for everyone to understand. If you choose to use a mini subwoofer for hidden purpose, there is no reason to use it. But if you consider it for the sake of effect, usually a 20-square-meter living room needs at least a 10-inch or 12-inch subwoofer to guarantee the reduction of the bass. (On the choice of the subwoofer, Kabuki must write a separate article.) Once the size of the subwoofer is on a 12-inch screen, it is recommended to choose a closed gun , which is more suitable for the living room, without him, but the volume is small.

Xiao Shao classroom:

Although the subwoofer is quite large, it does not pick up where it is placed . You can arbitrarily place it in an unremarkable position, such as a corner, and then put some decorations on it; for example, behind a sofa, let it massage your ass. Or as a coffee table? Let it be done.


What? Still not satisfied, I think the subwoofer can't appear on the ground, must disappear in sight? Well, Xiaokeng likes paranoid like you. Come and introduce you to two rare subwoofers (all major brands have, the figure is just an example).

First: Subwoofer installed in the ceiling.

Bandpass

Do not look at it is not big, inside has adopted the design that two units work at the same time, the effect does not need to worry. Hiding in the ceiling is absolutely impossible for anyone to discover.


Second: Ultra-thin subwoofer.

Ultra-thin subwoofer

You can hang it directly or embed it in the wall. Satisfaction. How to toss casually.


Three: According to the position of the TV or projection screen, determine the installation position of the speaker.


The first three LCR main channel installations:

If you use a sound-absorbing projection screen, then congratulations, you can use a similar arrangement.

The first three sound-permeable screens

This way the first three channels can be on a horizontal line. The advantage is that the front sound field is seamless, and the sound movement is as smooth as silk. The singer singing is like standing in front of you and exhaling . Komaki believes that once the sound screen is tried, the basics will never return.


With normal projection screens and large screen TVs, consider the following general layout.

The first three ordinary 1

Top 3 Normal 2

I'm sorry, the picture is not good enough to find, really powerful absolutely can be completely hidden in the wall mounted speaker, easily can not be found.

Installation notes:

1. If the bottom of the TV is too low and there is blockage, you can move the center position to the top of the TV without affecting the effect.

2. The distance between the left and right channels can be properly opened so that the vertical angle with the center channel is less than 10 degrees.

(borrowing a THX-trained PPT)

THX

3. Since the wall-mounted center speaker cannot adjust the pitch angle, this time, if there is such a treble that can be adjusted to pointing, after wall installation, it can be arbitrarily pointed to the audience position for the best listening experience. .

Adjustable treble


Xiao Shao classroom:



Surround Channel Installation:

The surround speakers can generally be installed on the wall behind the sofa. The width of the two speakers should be greater than the height of the entire listening position. Do not be too low/facing the human ear.

The correct installation height should be about 1.8 to 2 meters above the ground. Only in this way can you get the best sense of envelopment, and you can't obviously feel the presence of a single speaker. What the audience feels is a continuous whole rear sound field.

The position is roughly the meaning of the figure:

5.1 Installation Diagram

Top speaker installation:

Many value-friends are interested in the system of panoramic sound (and the latest DTS:X) in the article, some of them are too expensive and too complicated, and some feel that they have not yet reached the point of popularity. In fact, Xiaochao’s guess is that most of the reasons are due to the helplessness of the non-newly-built living room. Take the open line and put 2-4 abrupt speakers on top of the head. Not many people can accept it. You can accept the rough style sky channel below?

Messy sky layout

However, the progress of science and technology is not transferred by individual will. Dolby Panorama sounds as a revolutionary technology and has been in home theater for more than two years. The entire industry chain has matured and hardware and software have matured, especially long ago. The release of the 100-piece Dolby Panasonic Blu-ray disc, together with the addition of DTS:X this year, will make the addition of the Sky Channel (head horn) even more necessary.

Moreover, the most important thing is that for newly renovated living room theaters, adding 2-4 ceiling speakers is a breeze, and it will not destroy the overall decoration style.

In general, most of the living room theaters are configured with 5.1.2 and 5.1.4. Please refer to the two official installation suggestions from Dolby:

5.1.2

5.1.2

5.1.4

5.1.4

The circle in the figure is the installation position of the ceiling speaker. It is easy to install the line in the ceiling, open the hole, and install it directly.


With so much enthusiasm, isn't everyone tired of it? Will there be any doubt that the installation will be very troublesome? Do I manage it myself? Let's watch a video with its own answer.

How is it? When the decoration is done according to the size, the installation is not like playing.


Finally, pragmatic valuers will certainly see here, "Where is the strongest in the wall? " There is no absolute answer, everything depends on your needs, but Xiao burning here can provide some suggestions on the choice.

Budget-type selection , familiar domestic brands – Swansea. Taobao directly search for "Huiwei into the wall." For the sound quality and function of small burn here do not make more comments, one sentence: enough.

If you have enough budget, you can choose a proven imported brand, the price from one thousand to one million, a wide range of price options.

Brand, then, Xiaozhuan will not recommend some very niche brands, saying nothing, look at a US CEPRO professional custom installation site, given the latest in-wall speaker market share map (for the world's largest US custom Installation market

CE ranking

The first SONANCE (United Nation), the United States to install the first brand, the domestic reputation is not high.

The second Klipsch traditional loudspeaker field is a brand with a long history. It has a long history and has a certain reputation in the home theater field. Unexpectedly, there are such achievements in the field of custom installation.

Third-ranking Bowers & Wilkins's famous B&W, although recently acquired by a fledgling Silicon Valley startup, is behind me. But this does not affect B&W's reputation in the traditional audio field. Custom products also mainly take the high road.

The fourth Origin Acoustics, the upstart in the field of custom installations, is gaining momentum very quickly. It is also a company advocating innovation that Xiaokao respects. We will talk about it in detail later.

Fifth episode Honestly speaking, Xiaoyao is not familiar with this company and there are no domestic agents. Skip it.


For the fourth OA brand in the picture, according to Xiaokang’s knowledge, among the three founders of this company were Ken and Ed who invented the in-wall loudspeakers of the year. They started the brand in 2012 after they left Speaker Craft (another US custom-built loudspeaker manufacturer). And in just 4 years, it has got the fourth ranking in the industry.

Xiao burning's deepest impression on this brand is its ease of installation, as well as its ability to adjust the direction of the midrange with the treble (yes, it is midrange). With this feature, there is no problem in the living room to make a panoramic sound theater that is composed entirely of ceiling speakers.

Looking at a very interesting installation demo, I feel that this quick installation is really awesome.

Since these brands are mostly aimed at the custom installation market, these brands are rarely seen in the market, especially familiar online channels. If value-friends want to buy buy, it is best to ask local audio distributors, or the brand's domestic agents.

According to the information Gathering collected at the show, search keywords online to get the corresponding information:

SONANCE and Klipsh, "Audio Master Cinemaster"

B&W, "bowers wilkins official website"

Origin Acoustics, "Shanghai Lang Lang"



After hiding the speakers, try to hide the projected things.

Once again borrowing friends' pictures. Value-Friendly Cinema 2 has a very harmonious arrangement. Have you ever thought of hiding the projector even further?

Projection Hidden 1

Projection is hidden into the ceiling by a lifting device.

Or according to local conditions, the place where the projection is placed is taken into account when designing.

Projection Hidden 2

Projection Hidden 3

There are various methods, as long as the heat dissipation of the projector is guaranteed, any method that makes it invisible can be tested.

Hidden ahead

Finally, put stuff in front of the refrigerator into the refrigerator... oh no, it is in the cupboard.

You're done!

Whatever the form of cinema, the ultimate goal is to better enjoy movies and music. I wish you all the time to use your favorite home theater.
