An established client approached us for advise on a property he had recently acquired and what room would be good for a home cinema, something greater than the room we had built in his previous home, which was quite a serious setup. We acquired entry to the premises and conducted a walk-through, discovering that the only place that made sense was the billiards room. Some building work would be required to adapt the space into a movie room.
Krix MX-40 Design
Because of the billiard room’s ceiling height, specifying Krix X series was not an option, instead the system was designed around a Krix MX-40 speaker wall. Several drawings were produced, and our customer elected to have the space configured with two rows of chairs to accommodate eight people in total, with all equipment located in a room outside the theatre itself.
Client Decision & Equipment List
Our client’s previous cinema used a different brand of speakers, and he was hesitant to consider other possibilities. However, after visiting our showroom and experiencing our Krix MX-40 demonstration room, he left with a large smile on his face, saying “that will do nicely thank you!”

Cinema Construction & Pre-Wire
For this project we appointed a builder to conduct room construction following our design to make the space a rectangle, block a set of double doors off and build a seating platform. Once framing in place we ran all cables out of the room in preparation for instillation, gyprock and painting.
Completion!
This finished room was an assault on all senses, from the smell of the Scottish Muirhed leather clad Manhattan cinema chairs to the lush detailed images from the Barco Bragi paired with Mad VR Envy Extreme video processor and the immersive cinematic audio performance of the Krix, Trinnov, Parrsound combination
