A Control4 home cinema in Cork is a room that starts itself: press Film and the lights fade, the blinds drop and the picture comes up, whether the room is a converted garage in Ballincollig or the main living room of a house in Blackrock. We take care of the design, the equipment and the Control4 programming behind it.
Two kinds of Control4 home cinema in Cork homes
If the room can be made dark, a projector and a fabric covered screen with the speakers hidden behind it give the biggest picture for the money, and a stepped second row means nobody looks at the back of a head. If the room has to stay a living room, a large display over a fire with in-wall speakers does the job without turning the space into a den. The room decides, not the brochure.
Control4 is the layer that makes it simple. Projector or television, sources, amplifier, lighting and blinds are programmed as one scene, so the family presses Film and never needs to know which input the Sky box is on.
| Where it goes | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dedicated cinema room | Laser projector, fabric screen with hidden speakers, stepped seating for two rows |
| Living room media wall | Display over a fire, speakers in the wall, nothing on show but the picture |
| Sources | Sky, streaming box, console and disc player on a single remote |
| Lighting | Floor level step lights and dimmable wall lights, full blackout from the blinds |
| Control | A Film scene that fires every device in sequence |
Control4 describes its home theatre control at control4.com. For the lighting side of a cinema room, see Control4 lighting control in Cork.
Questions we are often asked
How big a room do I need for a home cinema in Cork?
A single garage or a spare room of about 4 metres by 5 metres takes two rows of seats. Below that, a large display beats a projector.
Projector or television?
Dark room and a love of a big picture: projector. Bright family room: display. We say which after seeing the room, not before.
Is a cinema room wasted on sport and gaming?
No. Consoles and the Sky box are sources like the disc player, and a Sport scene leaves the lights higher than Film so nobody trips over the dog.
Do you build the room or only fit the equipment?
Either. We can build the stud walls, acoustic treatment and stepped floor ourselves or hand drawings to your builder. The technical design is settled first so the room is built around it.
