I am in the process of refinancing my home to build a 499 sq foot theater/ recording studio. I haven't even had the slab poured and I am tring to find out as much as possible first. Before I even consider what type of projector and speakers to get, I need to resolve some issues with running cables and such.
I was thinking about running a dvi cable from the future projector on the ceiling to the dvd player built in the wall but I am having trouble finding these longer than 12 feet. Would you notice that much difference on a projector running component wires as opposed to dvi?
I was reading up on bass shakers but the thing is since I am doing a studio/ theater combo, the couch or seating may have to be moved from time to time. Do they make some sort of rca or wire plug/ cover that would mount flush to a wood/ pergo type floor that wouldn't look too ugly?
Due to the odd nature of this recording studio/ theater project, there is no "back" wall in the "theater" part of the room. I was thinking of having a wool or other heavy material curtain seperate the 2 spaces. The problem is I have no back wall to mount rear surround(s) for a 6.1 or 7.1 system. Would ceiling mounted rears somewhat behind the seating area work? Would it be worth it to have my framer and drywaller rig a small portion of the ceiling at an angle twords the seats?
Last question, promise. In regards to those rear surrounds, it is my understanding that the only difference between a 6.1 and 7.1 is that the rear signal is divided with power for a second rear speaker and that there is no stereo imaging with back surrounds, one signal just split into 2. Is this true or do new recievers actually decode the rears into 2 different signals.
Sorry this was so long. Any help at all given would be very appreciated. I know this is a very unusuall setup so I am sure I am going to have plenty to deal with on the way, Thanks
