Design Your Home Theater for Incredible Sound
The Right Speakers and Acoustics Make All the Difference
Home theaters can transport you out of everyday reality and into another world, at least for a few hours. The classic "suspension of disbelief" that is the hallmark of a great entertainment experience relies not only on the larger-than-life imagery of the large screen but also on the immersive sound that places you in the scene.
That immersive sound will be no accident; it's the result of careful home theater design, the right equipment choices, and detailed installation and tuning. Keep reading below to learn about speakers and acoustic solutions for your Boulder, CO, Front Range home that takes home theater sound to another level.

Steinway Lyngdorf Speakers
Steinway Lyngdorf makes a variety of speakers for home cinema use. Two unique capabilities make them stand out from any other. One is Steinway's integrated approach to mating amplifiers with speakers. Their home theater surround processors and amplifiers are specifically designed for their speakers, ensuring an excellent match to the speaker design. This precise matching and maintenance of the audio signals in the digital domain directly to the speaker also allow for the unique RoomPerfect feature, a sophisticated room compensation technology that matches the speaker to the room's acoustics.
Beyond differentiated technology, Steinway Lyngdorf speakers are statement pieces, much like the famed Steinway pianos. Whether you choose freestanding or architectural speakers for your theater, you get a level of fit and finish not found elsewhere, like the flawless piano black and gold metal on the freestanding and on-wall models.
Acoustic Treatment
No matter how good the audio equipment is, virtually no room is acoustically perfect. Many things can affect the sound quality in a home cinema, from the layout to the furniture, materials, and finishes in the room. Home theater designers compensate for that with acoustic treatment. Two things you don't want in an immersive surround system: a room that seems lifeless, where the impacts of action soundtracks aren't felt, or a space where sibilance and reflections mar the coherence and clarity of the sound. Home theater designers use acoustic absorption to tame reflections, diffusers to disperse echoing, and bass traps to ensure a more even bass performance in the room. The goal is that every seat in the house gets the same aural performance. Sound isolation may also be necessary depending on the location of your home cinema. Isolation techniques like double sheetrock, vinyl barriers, and foam insulation can be used to limit sound creeping into and out of the theater.
Calibration
All home theater sound systems require expert calibration to balance the audio in the room. This includes precisely setting speaker levels and equalization of frequencies. Steinway Lyngdorf's advanced tools for calibration, coupled with the RoomPerfect system and bit-perfect digital connections to the speakers, enable professionals to fully optimize the sound for a home theater. The result? The purest possible sound, unsurpassed dynamic range, and incredible undistorted performance at all sound levels.
