Home Theater Design that Offers a Cinematic Experience
Bring Movies to Life with Immersive Audio and Images
Movies are made to move us, stirring up our emotions and altering our perceptions. They also take us to places we've never been, from high up on the tallest mountain peaks to deep within the ocean's mysterious depths. A good movie entertains us; a great movie affects us, leaving us feeling and thinking differently.
Do you remember how it feels when you leave a high-end movie theater that’s engaged your senses for several hours? If it’s done its job, you feel a little disoriented, like you need to regain your equilibrium and return to earth, especially before you drive anywhere! This sense of realism was accomplished by the big screen with the lifelike images and surround sound that enveloped you.
The good news is that, with today’s audio-video technology, that type of experience is available for your home. At Reference Audio Video & Security, we partner with brands that remain on the cutting edge of technology, delivering the sound and images that were once only available in the finest cinemas.
Let’s explore the possibilities in today’s home theater design and what it offers homeowners in Quad Cities, IA.

The Optimum Movie Screen
The immersive movie screen fills your field of vision, taking you into the center of the action. You’re no longer sitting in your home theater. Instead, you’re roaming through the jungles of an alien planet or experiencing the storm-tossed seas. However, this kind of realism doesn’t come from old projector screens. Today’s movie screens come in materials designed for your specific environment.
One of our partners, Screen Innovations, is an industry leader in home movie screens. This partnership enables us to select the perfect screen for your home theater, from motorized to fixed screens. For example, have you seen their Zero Edge Pro screen? In addition to incredibly sharp images, it offers optional LED backlighting that creates a striking accent.
Of course, projectors also play an integral part in the immersive movie experience. In 2022, Sony came out with new 4K native laser projectors that create an unprecedented image. These projectors deliver lifelike pictures in brilliant colors and contrast, rich details, and textures that make you want to touch them to see if they’re real.
The Surround Sound
Many movie enthusiasts suggest the audio is more important to the “being-there” movie experience than the picture. And they're probably right. Going back to the image of a storm-tossed sea, if you turned the sound off and didn’t hear the waves exploding, it would leave you adrift—simply watching a movie instead of being a part of it.
The latest Dolby Atmos surround sound brings you into the middle of the scene. This object-based audio lets sound engineers treat sound like an object and place it in a 3D field surrounding the listener. Now, you hear the approaching storm and feel it engulfing you, with waves breaking above and around you.
