A Cymbiosis installationHome cinema, AV, audio visual and home theatre are all names that essentially describe the same thing - a collection of audio and video devices that make watching a movie at home more like being in a high quality, commercial cinema.

Some people might doubt that that is possible, arguing that commercial cinemas project vast images onto huge screens and use immensely powerful sound systems to create an all-enveloping sense of being immersed in the film.

Well, Cymbiosis have recreated that experience for many of our customers in their own homes. Broadly speaking, you can fit some sort of cinema into any room, no matter how vast or compact it may be.

A Cymbiosis installationOur experienced home cinema designers are happy to visit you in your home to discuss the most appropriate solution for your needs. We can also show you photographs of systems we have installed, to give you an idea of how a professionally installed home cinema can fit in to and enhance your lifestyle.

In typical modern homes, a 37-inch or 42-inch widescreen TV and a modest but high quality surround sound system are all that’s required to transform the movie watching experience.

There are other options to transform “watching the TV” into a more rewarding experience. Plasma and LCD displays provide screen sizes up to 60-inches and more. A projector and screen increases this to between 80-inches and 140-inches or even more.

A Cymbiosis installationAs with the display choices, there are a number of surround sound options. Many companies produce home cinema mini systems, which are adequate for small rooms, whilst others produce ranges of “separates” – individual components that perform specific tasks – which can be configured to build a system with sufficient performance to fill the largest of home cinemas.

In the middle of the market there is a vast selection of AV receivers – one box devices that do everything necessary with the output of the Blu-ray player or satellite box, to process it and get it to the appropriate speakers. These come predominantly from mainstream manufacturers and bridge the enormous performance divide between the mini systems and the “cost no object” dream systems.

At Cymbiosis, we have all these options available for demonstration, in order to help you decide which is right for you.
