How To Buy And Setup A Home Theater Sound System

By Dave Heebs

When you are setting up a home theater in your entertainment room, you will want to make sure it is the best setup for the room. To ensure success, you must make sure that the most important component, the sound system, is setup correctly.

Before you install a sound system in your home theater, you must first consider the room that it will be going in. The size, shape of the room along with the furniture arrangement will all play a part into how the sound system is setup. By placing the center speaker in the best position in the room, you will ensure the maximum pleasure for your guests.

When choosing components and installing the home theater sound system, you will need to consider a number of different aspects.

How Much Do You Have To Spend?

Since you will be spending money, you will need to consider how much money you have to spend. Sound systems can be quite expensive if you buy the best quality. However, if price is a concern you can shoot for a sound system that is not the very best but is in the middle range. Most likely you will not notice the difference.

Do Your Research

You should not buy the first sound system you see. You will need to research the available sound systems by going online and gathering as much information as possible. Online searches will bring up customer and expert reviews as well as specifications, prices and online sales deals. Google search is your friend where this is concerned.

Purchase The Right Sound System

All that research is for naught if you do not buy something, so pick the best system that fits your price range and purchase it online. Once it arrives at your house, the next step is to install it properly.

Install Your Sound System

Speaker placement is of paramount importance here. You will want to establish a surround sound system and to do this you need to place the speakers in the correct places so they will literally surround your guests. The best way to install the sound system is to have professionals do the installation. However, if you know what youre doing, you can save the money on install and do it yourself.

No Wires Visible

Traditional sound systems are wired together. Wires are run between the components and the speakers. These wires should be hidden from view so-as not to clutter up the room. Additionally, hiding the wires is a safety measure, meant to keep your guests safe from tripping over them and to protect your components from wires being ripped out accidentally. The other option you have is to go with wireless speakers. These eliminate the consideration of where to hide the wires.

Placing The Speakers

The home theater speaker system should have at least five speakers to properly setup surround sound. Three speakers should be set up in front of the guests with two speakers behind them on either side. Make sure the center speaker is located on top of or underneath the television. A good sound system, that is set up properly, will greatly enhance your movie and television watching experience. When properly set up, the home theater system can make you feel like youre at the movies. Except for the fact that there is no spilled soda on the floor. - 18762
