How to set up the ultimate home cinema with Home Action Party

Home Action Party’s comprehensive suite of entertainment offerings spans the gamut: from in-depth client consultations to choose the AV products that best suits users’ needs and lifestyle, to specialised installation jobs to match a range of interiors and amenities. Speakers can be installed in walls and ceilings for background music or to hear the finest auditory details of your favourite film, while secondary AV components and electronics can be neatly tucked out of sight.

The firm’s showroom is the embodiment of its extensive repertoire when it comes to fitting out the most enviable home cinema, gaming zone or karaoke den. It displays how various state-of-the- art products can be utilised in different ways to thrill and amuse, whether you are a big fan of action films or someone who loves hosting sing-a-long sessions with your family and friends.

In a marked departure from the traditional living room’s 5.1 surround-sound system setup, and a testament to how home automation can do away with needless clutter, Home Action Party’s living room configuration is a super-sleek arrangement in which only the TV screen and speakers are visible.

“All the amplifiers and source players are usually placed inside a thick TV console [in a conventional setup]; but with automation technology, we are able to hide all electronics and only display the TV and speakers,” says Aaden. “We also have a home theatre in our showroom, which is unlike those that like to show off heavy amplifiers and tower speakers in the front; here, everything is concealed beautifully.”

System racks are hidden and speakers are concealed behind special acoustic screens, while cables for connectivity with devices such as laptop computers, for instance, can be installed in discreet places such as under the sofa. To top it off, the use of smart universal remotes means that the AV devices do not require a direct line of sight to operate. This does away with the need for visible TV consoles since the AV equipment and wiring can be hidden from view and installed within the built-in cabinetry. This results in a clean, minimalist look in your entertainment room, liberating it from unnecessary visual clutter.

The firm has also incorporated a karaoke (KTV) system into its home theatre showroom to showcase the capabilities of AV automation and create the “ultimate family entertainment experience”, says Aaden. This mix of music and movie facilities has been a hit with customers, as the firm is able to conceal the cumbersome speakers with ease, too. “Usually in a luxurious home, if the room is only used for home- theatre purposes, the usage of frequency will be limited as friends do not come and visit to watch a movie together,” Aaden explains.

Hence, the inclusion of a KTV system can help to maximise the entertainment options available to clients. Although KTV and home theatre usually comprise two separate systems, the firm is able to use home automation systems to simplify the process. “This saves customers from the hassle of going to turn off the home theatre equipment, and then turning on the KTV system manually separately,” he adds.

The lighting in your media room can also be tailored to augment your entertainment experience, resulting in a vibe that is truly all-encompassing as you belt out popular hits enthusiastically with friends and family, or battle wits and reflexes in your favourite first-person shooter video game. Homeowners can also opt to have music piped into multiple rooms, smart lights that can change colour and turn on or off, or dim or brighten a room to create the right ambience to match the occasion.

Additionally, Home Action Party can aid in soundproofing matters and managing the acoustics of any room. This can include the setup of outdoor speakers, complete with subwoofer, if clients require it for a terrace. Other value-adds users can enjoy include pre-recorded announcements telling people to head to the dining area for mealtimes, letting domestic helpers know in which part of the home they are needed, or announcing visitors at the gate, explains Aaden.

Each installation typically involves multiple site visits by members of Home Action Party’s professional team to ensure that it has been perfectly tailored to match your requirements. Further fine-tuning or customisation is also offered after the system is installed and the homeowners have moved in to ensure everything works exactly the way the clients want it to. Now, how’s that for convenience?
