Multipurpose/great rooms remain the most common location for a home theater, but there has been a resurgence of
dedicated private cinema rooms continues as that category increased 14% to move into a tie at the top. " Other " may
be additional bedrooms, garages, and secondary room locations.
ping 90% of dealers that installed 6+ speakers into home
entertainment spaces. That's compared with 74% a year ago.
Taking it a step further, 49% of integrators installed 9 or
more speakers, lending these systems to supporting Dolby
Atmos, DTS:X, and AURO-3D. Indeed, survey takers said
88% of their installs featured immersive audio, a leap of 21%
from last year.
Also on the audio side, the percentage of theater rooms
incorporating architectural speakers rose from 71% to 88%,
which makes sense considering the amount being installed
for surround and height speakers.
On the video portion of the home entertainment equation,
this year's Deep Dive found that projection systems
and large flat panels were installed equally (41%). While ultra
short throw (UST) and brighter projectors can work well in
rec rooms and such, the projection systems are more likely
to be found in the dedicated rooms.
The discrepancy between displays and projectors was a
very wide gap to close. Last year's survey found displays were
installed 58% of the time vs. 34% for projectors. Integrators
aren't quite sold on microLED yet, however, as only 5% of
theater spaces included this pricier option to projection.
As far as automation and amenities go, integrated lighting
control was way up, shooting from just 54% to 87%. The
same percentage of theaters employ remotes and touchpanels
for commanding all the tech.
