Introductory video room layout decoration and equipment purchase

With regard to the suggestions and questions in the comments, here are the answers:

1. I am not an audiophile. The function of the audio and video room is to have a relatively private space. You can watch movies with family and friends. Therefore, the requirements for sound images are not particularly high. The selected equipment is entirely personal and based on the budget and merchandise at the time of purchase. The selection of the discount may not be particularly reasonable in the old eyes. Follow-up will be based on everyone's opinions to improve. Thank you!

2. With regard to the white walls and door joints, the decoration of the room has not yet been completed, and the wall itself has been covered with sound-insulated cotton. All the follow-ups may put wallpaper or cork board outside the wall. This part is more about the pursuit of beauty. Seams will be resolved with glue strips.

3. The problem of low-frequency traps, ready to try more, and then increase according to the situation, first solve the white wall and say it.

4. The top of the sky, there are two kinds of market: Modularization and customization, Modular installation is simple, there is no requirement for ceiling, similar to integrated ceiling, follow-up maintenance is also more convenient, the disadvantage is expensive. Customized ceiling is not required ceiling, The cost is lower than the modular one.

5. The 100-inch/120-inch problem is indeed a design error. The door of the normal audio-visual room should be designed on the side or behind. Since this room has a pillar on one side, this side can only be installed with a projection. The side is connected with the hall, and the opening will affect the hall. The background wall was finally forced to be selected on the curtain side. Due to calculation errors and the thickening of the wall in the later period, the dark groove of the ceiling was shortened and the electric screen could not be installed. Only the frame could be selected.

6. Initial selection of reinforcements 1.7 is to consider the lack of brightness in 3D. Value-friends commented that excessive increase may affect the color. This point I gave a reply after the last test, indeed did not consider, the original plan is 2D Economic mode play. It is recommended that you choose the curtain, you can let the business express sample, compare and then choose, this is the normal process.

7. Evaluation of the picture frame: At present, home screens are mainly electric, electric cords, and picture frames. The frame may be extended to include a curved screen. Material I do not understand, do not dare to comment, my requirement is no smell. The shortcomings of the electric screen is a long time, poor flatness, home is not recommended to buy. Pull screen will make up for some of the defects of the electric screen, the flatness of the picture frame Well, easy to install, the effect after the wall is also good, but it is poor mobility, not suitable for the living room, but the Internet seems to have a program that allows the frame screen and TV coexist.

8. Price: The price of my listed JD is for everyone's reference. The actual purchase can choose Ma Yunjia to buy parallel goods or even 2 hands. The cost of BDS is 10K. Since the projection of Mesa is discounted, the total cost should be less than 7K (including Freight + Taxes), Comparing with Starbucks, about 5-6K, 1.5K equipment cabinet.

9. Wiring problem: Most people will choose the amplifier and the screen on the same side, so you need to consider the wiring is 2 surround (speaker cable) + HDMI1 root, if the device supports wireless, these three can save. Conditional leave Threading pipe embedded, no condition to cover up with carpets or trunking, specific information can have weak experience of the electrician, really very simple. On how to replace the wire, according to the comments in the direct mail recommendation: Ma Yun OPT threader.

10. Follow-up: Follow-up will deal with white walls, add carpets, sofas. Consider adding a simple central control, you can achieve the light belt - star top - power amplifier - projection sequence of this sequence can be switched on. And so all get it right, and then with everyone shared.

It is worthwhile to buy and often see the promotion of projection or theater. Every time you read the comments, you feel that you are a bit confused about the purchase of these audio and video products. Here we borrow some of the latest audio-visual room renovation process to give you some reference on the purchase of audio-visual products. Lessons learned and detours. Audio and video room the entire investment of 2-3W or so, do not comment on the old burn, here also complained that the current AV forum configuration pushed higher, the people discouraged ~ ~ , The voice is the same thing as taste, individual differences, subjective, so everyone must still choose to believe their eyes and ears, clear their goals.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

Before the decoration you need to understand:

Do you need a video room? I personally realize that even television is rarely open. Most of the time, I use IPAD to watch US dramas in my bed. Most of my daughter-in-law is overdone. IPHONE5 also sees Sohu video as intoxicating. In fact, this type of person does not need to invest. Get a video room because the content is more important to you than the effect.

However, if you do, you will occasionally pull friends over to play NB, look at the movie with your daughter-in-law, and take a look at the little grey wolf. You can consider setting up a large screen + independent audio output. The program, such as the large flat-screen TV + Soundbar, the current LZ living room put a Philips whisper bar + wireless cannon, although there is no whispering wall function, but because the power than the TV's original speaker is bigger, so look at what the film is still Yes, it should be noted that not all Soundbars have a whispering wall function. They have, and they are not cheap, so you need to think clearly when you buy this product. I am now eating ash.

When you decide to raise a little bit of B, most people will choose to project the subconscious, such as me, then you need to understand:

1. Space

Because the area of ​​the projection is affected by the distance from the lens to the curtain/wall, first you need to calculate whether your space is adequate. There are many small programs on the Internet that can be calculated and stamped. The projection calculation page of the Mitsubishi HC7900DW I chose is the one that opens. Choosing this projection, first because the forum was relatively hot, and secondly, it was rumored that Mitsubishi had to withdraw from the projection market, and the third-party Madagascar crazy special offer was cheap (but was shamelessly sleeping 500, ). According to the calculator, it was surprisingly found that my space could be 130 inches of NB's projection + no stress. Considering the cost of the curtain, I chose 120 inches (there are still stories). The following is the floor plan of my imagination video room:

Imagined floor plan

Since I am a video room that is separated from the basement, there is a high degree of freedom in space. If it is a post-renovation, the distance is not enough. We can also consider short-throw projection, such as the current very fire.

2. Cabling

Projection is on, how can the audio output start with 5.1? Small white configuration = amplifier + drive + 2 front + 1 center + 2 surround + 1 cannon, 7.2 or plan before and after the level is not within the scope of this article. Then it relates to the power amplifier - projection, amplifier - speaker There are also many wireless solutions, such as wireless surround and wireless HDMI (BenQ's products also seem to support), but most products still use speaker cables, so depending on the position of your amplifier Therefore, the wiring between the surround and amplifier is more troublesome, on the projection position, the front center is more troublesome), the wiring diagram design needs to be clear in advance, for example, I gave the worker's sketch:

Imaginary wiring diagram

As for the height of the outlet, generally choose the height of the ear after you sit down, like the beautiful can use 86 boxes (see my HDMI outlet is more ugly), outside put on a outlet board or speaker, banana plug panel. The front position of the + middle position is relatively low, and later use of automatic EQ can make up for. Projection selection of the wall hanging.

3. Soundproofing, shading

For the projection, the brightness and contrast are maternity fetal, how can not be compared with the tablet, so the shading is very important for the audio and video room, because my basement, shading problems do not exist, but the living room transformation of friends, you need Invest in a blackout curtain. In addition, sound insulation is also a big problem. For a small white room, there is no resonance, and it is very important to not interfere with the neighborhood. I have heard of the use of light steel keel + integrated ceiling, an open horn, and a roof.å—¡å—¡ å—¡å—¡ sounds. In addition, the current subwoofer power is about to be about, and some guns are said to directly shatter the tiles. , can imagine the impact on the downstairs, can not see a movie will be knocked on by neighbors, right? Since there is only one wall between my room and my neighbors, I chose to add a layer of soundproofing cotton. However, because neighbors also choose to do video room in the next room, the problem of disturbing the people can be solved.

4. Speaker

I chose to buy the horn in the fourth step, because at this time the basic prototype of the room has been confirmed, 5.1, less than 20 square meters, with these two parameters can greatly reduce the choice of the horn: the space is not, just watch the movie, so I The satellite box was chosen. With limited budget, the HKTS60B of Harman Kardon was chosen. The suit was really not able to judge which amplifier was better equipped with this set of satellites. In addition, the set power amplifier was a built-in disc drive. A stroke (when he stole it, he later found no reason to buy a PS4) ). As for the price, Ma Yun family has a lot of Hong Kong version, the speaker can choose the Hong Kong version, the amplifier can choose to licensed (BDS power amplifier many small version, add a Bluetooth, airplay what, do not care about the choice of old models).

5. Decoration

In fact, the decoration of the audio-visual room was filled with every eye. I simply suspended a shed, put a light strip, and got a few spotlights on both sides. Air-conditioning and fresh air were placed on both sides without affecting the curtains. The horn, looking very beautiful, until I saw this post in the ZDM, only to find the top of the Star Sky, but unfortunately I had already finished the shed, if you install this custom star top, you need to rework, too much trouble. Fortunately, there are already modular roofs on the market, but the price is much more expensive. As shown in the following chart, the low-frequency traps are not considered and do not understand.

Modular Star Top

6. The choice of curtain

At this point, my video room imagines that the view from the top is already like this.

Imagining the bottom view

But I always felt that there was something missing... Yes, there was no door. Since I was on a business trip at the time, I was basically a remote guide. When I arrived at the scene again, I found out that it was like this.

The realistic bottom view

Yes, due to the design of the door to the curtain, and the soundproofing cotton (LZ in the north, so the wall seems to be added with a layer of benzene), the inner thickness of the wall is increased, so the distance between the door frame and the wall is directly reduced. A lot of, after the final measurement, only the 100-inch picture frame curtain can be selected to hang on the wall, otherwise it can only use the bracket on the curved screen. .

The screen has a 1.7-gain picture frame, which compensates for the lack of brightness in 3D. The price of 1.7 is also affordable. The installation process is much more convenient than the pull line screen. One person can handle it. Here is a reminder of some of the curtains. Smells, choose carefully.

7. Equipment cabinet

After the curtain is hung, it is necessary to consider a cabinet and choose to buy a simple TV cabinet at IKEA. Because of the distance between the lower edge of the screen and the floor, I chose 60cm. Therefore, the height of the TV cabinet needs to be as short as possible. Finally, the Beida series of IKEA was selected. This product supports software design, the degree of freedom is high, and the rate of collision is low. Many, six storage spaces, the top three used Uriel's cloth cover, disguised as a speaker, the following is left and right drawer empty slot amplifier. Guess where?

Equipment cabinet

8. Others

At present, the ground is floor tiles, taboos, and the follow-up is made up of carpets. Reluctantly, the door is still leaking, and the wall is ready to be attached to a soft board. The sofa has not been selected yet. Let's take a look at the top of the screen and the top of the sky to finish it!

The lights need to be adjusted. The seller said that the top of the sky gave me a constellation. You lie!

Phone shot, ran out of focus

Experience Summary: The satellite box I chose is suitable for friends with a low budget in a small space. You can use a bracket to select a satellite box so that the exit of the speaker cable can be as close to the ground as possible. It will be beautiful and high in height.

The projection distance is very important, and it is the primary parameter for selecting the projection. The bulb is a consumable product, so the brand sale is very important.

The curtains were mixed, allowing sellers to send samples.

Do not be blindly pursuing parameters.
