Hi Michael, that was some material the designer helped pick out, the bulk of it’s acoustically transparent fabric stretched and end-glued over acoustic panels. There were a few pieces where style won out over function, but you’d never know it though, the room sounds great.

A search for “fabric wrapped acoustic panels” on Google should give you several different leads. But to answer you directly, the panels you see were custom made on-site for this particular project, although I’m sure you could find the same basic look ‘n feel pre-fabricated.

Hey Rich,

Thanks. I’m pretty sure that’s PT109, which was about the only decent looking HD movie I could find on DirecTV that day.

That’s a nice home theater, I really like the color scheme, beats the old overused burgundy and black any day.

Wow A/V install in Thailand I’m jealous, sounds like the best of both worlds. Thanks for stopping by Ben.

I’m also in the Audio/Visual install business, it does indeed look like a nice setup – there’s nothing more satisfying than having a customer like, enjoy and use their home cinema system.

I work for a company called H3-Digital we are a Phuket, Thailand based home cinema / smart home automation company. We are finding that more and more customers are combining a home cinema setup in their house plans, most are more budget oriented but we are in the process of designing a couple of high end home theatres along the same lines as this.

Yeah thats the whole-house system as well. We’re using a Crestron PVID with a mix component feeds and room boxes, depending on length from the system.

That’s really impressive. I had no idea that you actually install and sell audio and video equipment. No wonder your coverage is so through.

Did you happen to see the Star Wars Home Theater that showed up on Digg earlier this month? It was unbelievably cool. If only I was a gazillionaire, I’d build my own death star.

I notice what looks like 3 Cable boxes, 3 DirecTV Sat boxes and 4 of another source (can’t quite make out) in the rack. Is that rack for whole house distribution? If so what are you using to distribute video, cat5 or something else? I wish I had that much height and depth to fit chairs in my custom theater.
