Like in a veritable cinema room, we recommend installing the FRONT speakers behind the screen (left, center, and right speakers and the subwoofer). To do this, the screen’s fabric must imperatively be acoustically transparent (this means that it allows sound to clearly pass through). The placement of the speakers is optimal for they are perfectly aligned behind the screen without a difference in height. The fusion is perfect between the image and the sound. As soon as the actor speaks, the sound goes out of their mouth at the same time (and not from a speaker positioned below the screen like you see far too often). This is another difference between a home cinema installation and the creation of a real private cinema room. Every detail counts.
A curved screen brings a more cinematic finish (reminder of large public cinema halls) and in certain cases, we install backlighting behind the frame that goes around the entire outline of the screen. In this way we highlight the curvature of the screen that we otherwise wouldn’t be seen in the darkness.
Technically, a curved cinema screen also permits to offset the trapezium effect (also known as the cushion effect) of the image on the large bases of the screen (most frequently higher than 3m50). In this way image is less likely to go outside of the 4 sides of the screen’s frame.
