The tiered seating area (with customer-provided seating) and coffered ceiling, which frames the acoustic ceiling of the home cinema. Behind the acoustic ceiling is additional sound-dampening insulation, acoustically isolating the cinema from the upper levels off the home. This affords a quiet listening environment in the theater, and eliminates excess sound traveling upstairs though the floor. This home is controlled by a Control 4 home automation system, providing complete cinema, lighting, source, and audio control from tablets and smartphones throughout the home.
