system from a local retailer or wish to
transform your unfinished basement into
a theater, the Technology Connectors
team can take care of you. Call today to

You may be asking…”what’s the
difference between a media room and a
home theater”? Well, good question!
Today the term “Home Theater” is used
quite loosely to describe a room with a
dvd player and surround sound, but a
true “Theater Room” is one dedicated
solely for reproducing the real-world
theater experience.
A theater room has no windows, or any
sources of light for that matter, when
the door is closed. A theater room uses
a projector to display video and has
strict dimensions to conserve proper
acoustics.
A theater room also uses rows of
elevated seating so several people can be
accommodated. Theater seating is
designed to be comfortable yet ridged
enough so you don’t fall asleep, as well
the seat backs are designed so as to not
block sound from behind.
A media room is more commonly found in
homes today. The media room contains
all of the equipment and speakers you will
need to watch DVD’s in surround sound
but is contained within a room which is
multi-purpose, like a family room.
Most families just don’t have the space
to dedicate an entire room as a theater
so they choose to integrate all of there
electronics in a room more centrally
located in the home for all to enjoy.
Media rooms don’t necessarily contain a
projector but may have a regular tube
television, projection screen TV or even a
plasma. Media rooms almost always
contain windows and couches are the
most popular seating style.
A trend today is to try and hide media
room electronics in cabinets or closets,
and have the speakers installed in the
walls, ceilings or behind clothed cabinet
doors. A room where electronic
equipment is hidden from untrained eye
is sometimes referred to as a “stealth
room”.
