Home Entertainment Trends: The Ultimate Media Room

Short Throw Projectors Deliver Lifelike Images to Any Room

Several years ago, a dedicated home theater represented the pinnacle of home entertainment. These spaces offered the ultimate cinematic viewing experience—the large, lifelike images and surround sound that catapulted you into another world far away from your luxurious recliners and starlit ceilings. Today, there's another home entertainment model gaining traction—home media rooms.

Let’s explore what makes these spaces so unique and why more homeowners in Baton Rouge, LA, are gravitating toward this audio-video wonder.

The Makings of a Media Room

At Acadian Home Theater & Automation, we’ve transformed almost every type of room into a media room. From basements to spare bedrooms, living rooms, and dens, today’s hidden technology makes it possible to experience the best images and sound without marring your home’s interior. 

These spaces are custom designed and unique to every family. Some contain arcade games, a pool table, several seating areas, and a bar. Others are designed for total relaxation with plush sectionals and maybe a gaming chair or two. What they all have in common is next-generation audio and video technology that delivers brilliant, vibrant pictures and immersive audio.

The Image

4K HDR projectors change the viewing experience, giving you the big screen image that fills your field of vision, an important aspect that allows you to immerse yourself in the moment. Short throw projectors are one of the video components that make this type of entertainment possible.

Short throw projectors create a 100-inch plus image and can be placed just 3-8 feet away from the screen. Ultra-short throw projectors may be placed almost right against the wall, tucked away in a media cabinet until ready for use. This makes them ideal for media rooms, giving you a large picture size without taking away from your home's aesthetics. 

Combined with the latest motorized projector screens that disappear when not in use and are designed for ambient lighting conditions, you experience the ultimate movie-watching and game-day experience. Vibrant colors and crystal-clear, detailed images take you to the 50-yard line or the distant moon of Pandora.

The Experience

By strategically installing and calibrating in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, you experience the sound that surrounds you, enveloping you in the story unfolding on screen. You can also use this room to lay back and enjoy your favorite music or take on the kids in their newest video game. This is the space for binge-watching the latest series, having friends over for games and sporting events, or relaxing with the family for Friday movie nights. 

All our designs and installations are custom-tailored and can integrate with a home automation system. For instance, with one tap on a touchscreen, your lights adjust to the perfect level, the shades lower, the surround sound turns on, and the short throw projector and screen appear.
