Surround Upgrade Study
An illustrative upgrade of an existing 5.1 room to an overhead-channel layout with improved acoustics and lighting.
Illustrative brief
Illustrative brief: an existing system with muddy dialogue and uneven bass; the owner wants overhead sound and better clarity without rebuilding the room.
Design approach
Assess the current layout, re-position surrounds, add overhead channels where joists allow, treat first reflection points and re-integrate the subwoofer. Lighting scenes are added using existing circuits where possible.
