Home cinema installation in Co. Westmeath, with the equipment behind the screen chosen to suit the room and kept out of sight.
Behind every good cinema sits a short list of equipment: something to decode the sound, amplifiers to drive the speakers, a way to get the picture to the screen and a control system that ties it all together. Getting that list right matters more than any single brand.
The equipment in one of our cinema rooms
In one cinema room we built, an Anthem MRX 11 AV receiver with a power amplifier drives Sonance speakers hidden behind the walls. The video reaches the projector over CAT6 network cable using AVPro Edge MXNet, and Crestron controls all of it.

Home cinemas across Westmeath
Westmeath homes are often large one off houses, ideal for whole home Wi-Fi, lighting control, music and security on one system. Lakeside homes around Glasson and Lough Ree want lighting, blinds and audio designed around the views, and country homes near Multyfarnham and Lough Derravaragh suit whole home control. Westmeath is covered by our own engineers from survey to support.
Where the equipment goes
The electronics can live in a cupboard, under the stairs or in a rack in a plant room, with the cables run back during the building work. That keeps the cinema quiet and tidy, and the same rack can also serve multi-room audio and home automation elsewhere in the house.
Questions we are often asked
What is AV over network cable?
Instead of long HDMI leads, the picture travels over standard network cable such as CAT6. The cinema room shown here uses AVPro Edge MXNet for this, which suits long runs to a projector.
Do we need a separate equipment rack?
Not always. A small cinema can keep its equipment in a cupboard in the room. A larger system, or one that also runs music and control for the house, is better in a ventilated rack elsewhere.
