It’s hard to dispute that movie posters are a great way to adorn your home theater walls to show off your own personal taste in cinema. When it comes to purchasing movie posters for your home theater you have a several options to choose from including glass framed paper posters, framed canvas or stretched canvas movie poster images using various fabrics and materials.
Now… Although all of these options are good enough for
showing off movie art work, they are all missing one very important detail you
should consider when choosing artwork for your home theater… ACOUSTICS!
Remember that a home theater room is a sound environment first and foremost. None
of the types of artworks stated above will absorb sound. In fact most will
increase the amount of sound reflections in your home theater room. Glass
framed posters pose the most obvious problems with both light and sound being
reflected off the smooth glass surface back into the room. Glass should be
considered the worst thing to introduce into your home theater room. Next on
our list is canvas. Canvas prints will look nice on the wall but aren’t much
better for helping your home theater acoustically. The tight weave of canvas
and the print process create an image finish smoother than most painted walls. Ultimately
glass and smooth and semi-smooth weave surfaces reflect sound and that works
against your listening environment.
So if most movie poster options aren’t suited for home theaters what type of movie posters prints should you buy? When it comes to putting movie images on your home theater wall you need something designed specifically for home theaters.
Acoustic Movie Posters are specially designed to absorb sound with fabric that allows sound to pass through to the acoustic absorber behind.
