Multichannel sound and calibration
Placement, alignment and measurement. Disappointment with immersive sound almost always starts here, not with the hardware.
“I spent all this and the sound is not what I was promised.”
Disappointment with immersive sound almost always comes from placement and calibration, not from equipment. A mid-range system placed and measured properly beats a reference system installed in a hurry, every time.

The layout comes from the room, not the standard
Standards give reference angles for ideal rooms. We draw from the real geometry: where the rows are, where the door is, where the joinery lets cable through and where it does not.
Phase before level
Height channels and subwoofers are checked in phase before anything is equalised. A room with two subwoofers out of phase measures fine on average and sounds wrong in every seat.
Measure, correct, listen, hand over the report
Calibration measured at every seat, correction applied, listening verification with known material and a final report handed to the client. If it is not measured, it is opinion.
What we actually do
- Channel layout drawn from the real geometry of the room
- Height and subwoofer placement with phase verification
- Measured calibration, correction applied and listening verification
- Final measurement report handed to the client
