Building Out the Room with Custom Touches
Cobb started the project from scratch, completely gutting
the space upstairs and transforming it into a home office
area with a closed-off home theater worthy of a dramatic
entrance. Before walking into the room, illuminated movie
posters set the scene and make the owners feel just like
they're having a night out. Past the padded door to the theater,
visitors are greeted by a concession area outfitted with
a popcorn machine, soft drink fridge, a freezer for pints of ice
cream, and microwave. It also houses the room's equipment
rack, where Cobb's team can easily access the gear. There, the
ProLink.z processor commands the rack's Yamaha Aventage
series flagship receiver, Blu-ray player (with playback ability
for regionally formatted and produced DVDs), Apple TV,
Lutron lighting, Panamax power, AC Infinity cooling, and the
star ceiling lighting processors. " We're one of the few dealers
in the area that does star ceilings, " Cobb notes.
Huge Display Augmented
by High-Performance Audio
Rather than go with a projector, the client selected a
massive 98-inch Samsung smart 4K flat panel. Tiny ceiling
puck lights and star ceiling panels combine to make a special
lighting show while wall sconces and under seating and
floor lighting round out the lighting effects. Audio includes
Sonos - which also is in the adjacent home office - while
MartinLogan Motion Series speakers deliver high-powered
sonic impact. Along with speakers flanking the screen, Cobb
custom designed the subwoofers for enclosures under the
tiered seating, using a pair of 10-inch subs to complement
12-inch subs up front. Pro Control does the rest. " When
the homeowner sits down, he can hit a button, the lights
go down, the screen comes on, and he's in theater mode
instantly, " said Cobb. In addition, there's " wake mode " to
power everything up, " concession mode " that illuminates
that area, as well as " shutdown mode " for easy exit. " We do
a lot of homes with Pro Control, but this is the most integration
we've done with it, " Cobb notes. " It didn't matter what
we threw at it, it was still very simple and intuitive. "
WE'RE LOOKING FOR OVER-THE-TOP PROJECTS.
