Fire Wall

HiFi Forum GmbH

Die perfekte Umsetzung herausfordernder Ansprüche, sind Anspruch und gleichzeitig Spezialität des Teams vom HiFi Forum Baiersdorf um Geschäftsführer Heiko Neundörfer. So konnten beim Projekt „Fire Wall“ wieder einmal alle kreativen und fachmännischen Register bei der Umsetzung eines exklusiven Einrichtungs-Projekts gezogen werden. Am Anfang der Überlegungen und Planungen stand die Forderung, dass es für einen dekorativen, verglasten Kaminofen und das Heimkino nur eine Orientierungsrichtung im Raum geben soll. Egal, ob man Musik hören, TV sehen oder die Feuerstelle einfach nur genießen möchte – alles in nur einer Blickrichtung. So weit, so gut, doch wie kann man eine Feuerstelle mit elektronischen Geräten problemlos vereinen? Eine Steinplatte bot sich als Basis-Lösung an. Sie ist der Blickfang und gleichzeitig das verbindende Element, das das echte und das elektronische Lagerfeuer nahtlos bei dieser Installation zusammenführt.

A theatre room can take time and money to perfect, but when done right, it can blow you (and your friends!) away. Technology has never been better, and with the likes of a 3D TV, projector or super-sized TV, surround sound, comfy sofa and recliner chairs, you can easily bring Hollywood into your home. True film fanatics might even install a popcorn machine or fairy floss maker! Add a gaming console that can hook up to the big screen and you have yourself a fully functional media room. If you’re really serious about creating your own home theatre, spend some time researching the right home theatre systems for your needs, as well as speakers, lighting and lounge furniture. Or, seek the help of a Home Theatre Professional for advice on audio visual and home automation.

Do I need a designated room for a home cinema?

If you have space to spare, a separate cinema room can be quite the luxury, but it’s definitely not necessary to enjoy all the benefits of home theatre experience. Most people integrate their home cinema into their living room. So you don’t compromise on style, consider having your TV screen mounted to the wall, or install a projector that can be stowed away when not in use. If in your living room, try to disguise your speakers and any cables. Ceiling-integrated speakers are a great option. Otherwise, in a standalone theatre room, consider making your speakers a feature.

What should I look for in home theatre seating?

Comfort should be front of mind when looking for home theatre seating, so look for options that allow you to sink in, recline and adjust your headrest. For an authentic cinema-going experience, stadium seating is a must. Platforms and stairs, complete with LED step lighting, can mimic tiers. Leather recliner chairs are a top-end choice, or you could opt for several modular sofas and ottomans instead. To cater for those who like to watch, eat and drink at the same time, look for seating that has cup holders, or install a bar area with turnable stools.

What equipment should I add to my media room?

A projector and projector screen will lead to a more dramatic movie experience, but the picture can be slightly blurry if the equipment quality is bad. A high-definition plasma or LCD TV might not be quite as large scale, but will deliver a more crisp, clear image. You can, however, find oversized wall-mounted TVs that match the size of a projector screen – but these do cost a pretty penny. Next, enhance your cinema experience with surround sound to make the movie-goers feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. Home automation can further replicate the real cinema experience. Consider installing lights that automatically dim once the film starts, or LED strip lighting that comes on when a movie is paused. Finish your fit-out with a gaming console so you can use the big screen and comfy seats to battle your friends.
