The
requirement
Esteemed industrialist Mr Sivasamy, of M/s Shobikaa Impex Private Limited, wished to build a world-class home theatre in his elegant and expansive Karur mansion. Given his need for excellence and innovation, which he imbibes in his work ethic, the home theatre design too needed to exceed expectations. The client hadn’t allotted a particular budget for the home theatre, however, after an impressive demo at CineSpa, they proceeded with the project.
The
CHALLENGE
CineSpa identified some tricky challenges before selecting the apt audio equipment for the mansion. The client looked forward to three immersive formats with Atmos, Auro 3-D and DTS. However, due to the placement of the air conditioner duct, the height required to execute the equipment was lacking.
Apart from that, essential rack space was unavailable outside the room. However, despite the challenges, we were determined to execute and provide an excellent immersive solution.
The
solution
We recommended the Genelec Sound Setup and Dolby Atmos for the client. We knew from our expertise, and after thorough trial and demos that the Genelec and Atmos would provide a quality, cinematic sound perfect for the luxury home theatre.
The client chose Genelec at the CineSpa demo, and since Genelec is a world-class setup with natural sound, clear tonality and undeniable quality performance, we were excited to execute the same. We recommended outstanding setup configurations and the client’s family opted for the most excellent configuration, that doesn’t compromise on quality, cinematic experience or premium price.
