Get Your Home Cinema Ready for Today’s Entertainment

It may be hard to believe, but home theaters have been around for almost 40 years. But since we're in Beverly Hills, California and the heart of the motion picture industry, it's even longer than that as some in the film business replicated the equipment of commercial theaters in lavish homes. For the most part, however, it's been since the 1980s that the equipment to reproduce the magic of cinema sight and sound has been available for home environments. 

The longstanding history of home theater means many homes already have one. But home theater experiences have evolved significantly since the 1980s, especially as digital audio and video formats and the internet have reshaped content distribution and availability. That means some home cinema equipment as little as 5-7 years old may not be offering viewers the ultimate watching experience. Since we’re a home theater company, we’d like to tell you three ways you should consider upgrading your personal cinema space so you can enjoy immersive movies, TV shows and more with the latest high-performance components possible.

What to Know about Surround Sound for Home Theaters

As you may well know, surround sound for home theater has been around for decades. In the 1990s, multichannel audio components with Dolby Surround started appearing.

The Home Theater Becomes a Media Entertainment Hub

Beverly Hills, understandably, is a town that understands film, theaters, and the entertainment industry. Beverly Hills residents had home theaters before home cinema was a thing anywhere else. And with some of the best commercial theaters in the country right here in Los Angeles and Westwood, we all understand a great theater experience.

Unfortunately, as we all know, the pandemic has taken its toll on the in-theater movie business. Streaming platforms have reduced theatrical releases to short theater runs. If you’re in the film business, that may be an issue for you. But if you’re a film fan, it’s never been a better time to have a home theater! Chances are you already have a home theater or media room of a sort, and you may be looking for ways to enhance your experience. As a leading home theater company in Beverly Hills and L.A., we'd like to share some of the top trends we see in home theaters for 2022.
