Home Cinemas
What makes our Home Cinemas better than a normal home theater? eMagine's Home Cinemas are designed to recreate the movie theater experience. Our cinemas have the quality of picture and sound of a "real" theater, and provide the look and feel you expect.
The quality of sound and video come from exceptional equipment, hand selected from the vast array of projectors, speakers, audio and video processors, and amplifiers that are available to custom installers. 
We choose products that excel in today's market, and will provide years of enjoyment by being best-of-breed. Once installed, our systems are calibrated to extremely high standards, providing the best quality picture and sound that can be had.
A true theater is much more than audio and video, however. It is about the entire experience, from the moment you enter the theater, to the snacks, even the seats. With eMagine's help, your cinema can be a one-of-a-kind space that will leave your guests in awe. Marquees, ticket booths, snack stands on the outside, and tiers of fold-down seats or comfortable chairs on the inside are combined with subtle lighting effects to really enhance the effect.
So, before you watch your next movie, build your dream cinema here.

1: Dedicated Home Cinema Base
Begin building your theater by choosing the kind of system you are looking for. The following selections are to help match the kind of sound and video you want with your budget range. (Note: this chart is designed to help us gauge your needs, since every theater is custom designed for each of our customers.)
| Name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
  |
Bronze Home Cinema Base | Our basic home theater will provide you with five decent on-wall or in-wall speakers, an HDTV capable projector, a basic A/V receiver and DVD player, and the remote to control it all from your seat. | |
 |
Silver Home Cinema Base | This small step improves the audio fidelity with larger speakers and an enhanced receiver and DVD player. The projector remains the same. This setup can also be had in a 7.1 surround-sound system. | |
 |
Gold Home Cinema Base | At the Gold level, you can choose between powerful floor-standing towers, or performance-enhanced in-wall speakers designed for high-end systems. 7.1 surround sound is standard. The projector is designed for amazing HTDV performance, and the receiver and DVD player has been upgraded to increase the image and sound quality throughout. | |
 |
Diamond Cinema Base | Finally, for the most discriminating buyer, a system designed from the ground up to be the best in the world. This unified package of equipment is designed to provide incredible digital video and audio all the way from the source equipment to the speakers or projector, where it is then converted into the proper format. This ensures no noise or artifacts can be introduced due to electrical interference. |
2: Design Theme
When you put a custom-designed eMagine Home Cinema into your house, you want that space to be as unique as you. This may be a place that is rich and luxurious, full of woods and fabrics. It may also be a place that's brightly colored, or themed after your favorite sports team. Whatever the design, make sure your finished cinema is designed just for you.

|---|---|---|---|
  |
No Theme Design | If your room is already designed the way you like it, and you are unconcerned with audio and video fidelity, you can skip this step. | |
 |
Standard Design | A standard room design is finished with some basic decoration in the front of the room, sconces along the sides, and a little acoustic treatment. | |
|
Full Room Design | The full room design includes custom lighting, decorations along the front and sides of the room, a ceiling with lighting effects, carpet, and more. You get to choose much of the design's colors and style elements. | |
|
Custom Theme Design | Check this if you are interested in having a true custom-themed room. We'll work with you to design the room to match both your tastes and for excellent acoustic and lighting properties. | |
  |
Starlit Ceiling | Fiber-optic or LED lighting in your ceiling to recreate the effect of a night sky while you watch your movies. | |
 |
Motorized Curtains | Protect your screen with curtains that automatically open and close like a real theater. Curtains can also be used to adjust the screen proportions, to avoid white stripes beside 4:3 aspect TV shows. |
3: Theater Seating
One of the most important features of a theater is its seating. Seats come in a wide variety of styles and options, but the most common forms are either flip-down seats, like a movie theater, or theater chairs, which are closer to a La-Z-Boy, but designed with the needs of a theater in-mind.
Other items to take in to consideration is having risers so the back rows can see the whole screen, and other options such as motorized recline or bass shakers.
| Name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Flip-Down Seating | Flip-down seating is the most efficient use of space, at the expense of some comfort. They also provide the most theater-like feel. | |
 |
Theater Chairs | Cinema Chairs are as comfortable as seating gets. They are available in a wide variety of styles, and can be arranged similar to flip-down seating, where each pair of seats shares an armrest. They are often quite a bit wider, and require more depth, so fewer seats will fit into a room. | |
|
Motorized Reclining Chairs | The same as above, but with the optional motorized recline. This add-on adds true luxury to your theater, and is much easier to get up from than standard spring-loaded recliners. | |
 |
No Tiers (Flat Seating) | Choose this option for multiple rows that do not rise as you get toward the rear of the room. | |
 |
Tiered Seating | If your room design allows for it, tiered seating makes sure that every person in every row can see the screen completely. | |
 |
Bass Shakers Option | An add-on to any of our seating packages, bass-shakers provide another level of depth to movie watching. They allow you to feel sounds that are too low to be heard. From impressive explosions to live music, bass shakers can enhance any audible experience. |
4: Controlling Your Home Cinema
One of the most important elements in any of eMagine's systems is the customized remote control. We pride ourselves in innovative system designs that are easy to use everyday, yet powerful enough for special occasions. Every remote or panel will give you easy, one-button-press control for turning on-and-off your system, as well as full function for all of your equipment and controlling your lighting.
| Name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Basic Remote | Our basic control has a black-and-white touch screen that lets you easily pick your task - whether that is watching DVDs or High-Definition TV. The wireless master unit means you won't have to point the remote at a specific target to control your theater. | |
 |
Color Touchscreen Remote | This remote has a much larger touch-screen than the basic remote, but provides the same functionality. The color screen makes selecting your favorite channels easy, as well as just looking much nicer overall. | |
 |
Advanced Touchpanel Control | The best control you can get is from a touchpanel. A panel is much larger - usually with a 6-to-20 screen - and can provide feedback on your theater, such as current volume level, or showing your front-door cameras without leaving the theater. | |
  |
Wireless Touchpanel Control | What's better than a touchpanel? A wireless touchpanel! These panels are not tethered, and run off batteries, so they can be used anywhere in the room with ease. |
