Can you wall mount my soundbar?

Yes, we professionally wall mount soundbars beneath your TV with perfect alignment and hidden cables. We use appropriate brackets for your soundbar model and ensure secure fixing to any wall type. Cable management ensures a clean, professional finish with no visible wires.

Do you install full surround sound systems?

Yes, we install complete 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos surround sound systems including front speakers, center channel, surround speakers, rear speakers, subwoofer, and AV receiver. We position speakers optimally for your room acoustics and run all cables hidden through walls or under carpets.

Will you hide all the speaker cables?

Yes, professional cable concealment is included. We can run cables through walls, under carpets, in wall cavities, or use cable trunking depending on your property. In-wall cable runs create the cleanest finish with no visible wires anywhere.

Can you calibrate my home cinema system?

Yes, system calibration is included with all home cinema installations. We use professional audio calibration tools to optimize speaker levels, distances, and audio processing for your specific room dimensions and acoustics. This ensures you get the best possible sound quality from your system.

What brands of soundbars and speakers do you install?

We install all major brands including Sonos, Bose, Samsung, LG, Sony, Polk Audio, Klipsch, KEF, and many more. If you've already purchased equipment, we'll install it professionally. If you need advice on which system to buy, we can recommend options based on your budget and requirements.

How long does home cinema installation take?

Soundbar installation typically takes 1-2 hours including wall mounting and cable hiding. Full 5.1/7.1 surround sound systems take 3-6 hours depending on complexity, cable routing requirements, and calibration. We work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring perfect results.

Can you integrate soundbars with my TV?

Yes, we connect and configure soundbars with your TV using HDMI ARC/eARC or optical connections. We ensure the soundbar works seamlessly with your TV remote control and streaming devices. All connections are tested and demonstrated before we leave.

Do you install ceiling speakers?

Yes, we install in-ceiling and in-wall speakers for discrete surround sound installations. This is ideal for home cinema rooms where you want speakers hidden from view. We cut speaker holes, run cables, install speakers, and plaster/paint to match your ceiling.

Can you help with Dolby Atmos setup?

Yes, we specialize in Dolby Atmos installations requiring height channels for immersive 3D audio. We can install ceiling speakers, upward-firing Atmos modules, or Atmos-enabled soundbars. Our engineers configure and calibrate Atmos systems for optimal overhead sound effects.

What is Dolby Atmos and do I need a specific soundbar for it?

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format that adds height channels to conventional surround sound, creating a three-dimensional sound field with audio that moves overhead. For a true Atmos experience, you need either an Atmos-enabled soundbar (with upward-firing drivers), or a dedicated amplifier with ceiling or height speakers. Not all soundbars claiming Atmos support deliver genuine height audio — we advise on which products deliver meaningful Atmos performance for your budget.

Can you install a projector and projection screen?

Yes — projector and motorised projection screen installation is a service we carry out alongside full home cinema setup. We mount projectors on ceiling brackets with concealed power and HDMI runs, position motorised screens for optimal image size and viewing angle, and calibrate the image with the room's ambient light levels. We advise on throw distance and lens requirements based on your room dimensions.

What is HDMI ARC and eARC, and why does it matter for soundbars?

HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows a single HDMI cable to carry audio from your TV back to a soundbar or AV receiver, eliminating a separate optical cable. HDMI eARC (Enhanced ARC) supports lossless, uncompressed audio formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio — essential for full-quality Dolby Atmos pass-through. We configure the correct HDMI connection and TV audio settings during installation to ensure your soundbar receives the best available audio format.

What is the difference between 2.1, 5.1, and 7.1 surround sound?

The numbers describe speaker counts. 2.1 is a stereo soundbar or pair of speakers with a subwoofer. 5.1 adds left, centre, right, and two rear surround speakers plus a subwoofer — this is the standard cinema format. 7.1 adds two additional side speakers for wider surround coverage. Dolby Atmos systems add .2 or .4 height channels — for example, 5.1.2 or 7.1.4. We design the right configuration for your room size and layout.

Can speaker cables be run under floorboards rather than through walls?

Yes — under-floor routing is often preferable in rooms where wall-chasing is impractical or where you want to avoid disturbing decoration. We lift floorboards where accessible, route cables beneath, and reinstate the floor surface. This is particularly effective in older properties with suspended timber floors where the void beneath provides excellent cable routing access.

Can you mount speakers on a chimney breast?

Yes — chimney breast speaker installations are popular for front left and right channels as they place the speakers symmetrically at the correct distance from the listening position. Masonry fixings into the chimney breast are very secure. We route speaker cables within the chimney breast void where possible, or surface-mount in matching trunking where void access isn't available.

How do I simplify controlling multiple AV components?

The cleanest solution is a universal remote or control system that operates all components through a single interface — Logitech Harmony remotes and Control4/Savant home automation systems are common choices. Many smart TVs can now control connected HDMI devices via CEC. We configure HDMI CEC settings during installation and can recommend and set up universal control solutions for more complex multi-component AV setups.

Can you connect a record player or turntable to a home cinema system?

Yes — turntable integration requires a phono stage (pre-amplifier) either built into the turntable or as a separate unit, which converts the phono output to line level for connection to an AV receiver or amplifier. We can integrate vinyl playback into any home cinema system with a suitable AV receiver, configure the input correctly, and ensure balanced levels with your other audio sources.

Is Sonos worth the investment for whole-home audio?

Sonos offers genuine ease of use, excellent multi-room synchronisation, and a growing ecosystem — but at a premium price compared to traditional AV receivers. For whole-home multi-room audio that you want to control simply from a phone, Sonos is a strong choice. For dedicated home cinema with maximum audio quality, a traditional AV receiver with separate amplification often outperforms Sonos at the same budget. We can discuss both approaches based on your priorities.

Can home cinema audio be integrated with a smart home system?

Yes — most major AV receivers support IP control and can be integrated with smart home platforms including Control4, Savant, Crestron, and custom Amazon Alexa routines. This allows voice commands like 'Alexa, start movie night' to dim lights, close blinds, power on the projector and amplifier, and set input to the correct source automatically. We configure these integrations as part of whole-home smart setup projects.
