This Home Theater Puts Acoustics Front and Center Page 2

The Final Stretch
With an environment custom built for immersive movie sound, Mehta selected gear he knew would deliver a thrilling experience.

A fully-calibrated Sony VPL-VW260ES projector is mated with a 150-inch acoustically transparent 4K screen from Milan. The screen hides the sonic star of the show — three top-of-the-line DALI Phantom S 280 in-wall speakers, aided and abetted by a pair of 20-Hz-capable MartinLogan Dynamo 1600X subwoofers.

To achieve enveloping Dolby Atmos surround sound, Mehta deployed eight DALI Phantom H80 in-wall speakers: two in the rear side walls, two in the back wall, and four in the ceiling for height effects — each mounted with a custom back box.

The entire system, except for the front LCR speakers, is powered by an Anthem MRX 1120 Dolby Atmos-equipped 11.2-channel AV receiver, and the system was calibrated using Anthem’s proprietary ARC Genesis room correction software, which Mehta says takes sound to “another level.” To ensure quality signal transmission, AudioQuest cabling was used throughout.

Three plush loungers from Italy’s Fama are the icing on this home theater extravaganza, adding a splash of color in a room otherwise dominated by neutral tones and providing motorized remote-controllable seating for up to five people.

Clean lines, concealed lighting, and a unique set of custom acoustic panels that some might say are out of this world conspire to form a space that exudes understated luxury. Or as Mehta suggests, a calm space that brings cinematic excitement into sharp focus.

I do enjoy the design, might even use it for future inspiration. That being said, there are scores of inert/non-toxic materials for sound absorption. I have no clue why you would purposely introduce barium and lead when you have so many other options.

appealing aspect of WhatsApp Gold is the promise of exclusive features not available in the regular version of Download whatsapp gold. These features can include advanced customization options, such as unique themes, fonts, and color schemes that allow users to personalize their messaging experience to a greater extent. Additionally, there are often claims of enhanced media sharing capabilities, such as sending larger files, more diverse file types, and higher quality images and videos.
