Garrett Home theater

[AVSCraig]

Installed a new mounting system for my projector and A-lens. Now I can install pretty much any digital projector and easily adjust A-lens to fit.

Nice ! " Modular madness " !

Notice anything different in this picture compared to the last one? The projector grew up. RS4500 installed.

Since my HT is cooled by a zoned system and the thermostat was not located in my HT, when I closed off the room, the HT would get too cold, if air conditioning was turned on. So I installed a remote sensor in the HT room today. My thermostat for this zone already was designed for a remote sensor, so it was a simple matter of running two conductor wire, attach the sensor and make the connection at the thermostat. Today it was pretty cool out, so I did not need any cooling. Can't wait for it to warm up next week, so I can see how well this works.

How's it working, Mike?  I've wondered about the possible need for something like this.  I guess it takes an average, so it'll will certainly affect the main zone.

It works very well for the HT, but when I am in the HT, I am not concerned with the other areas in the same zone. Usually those other areas are not occupied, when we are watching a movie. If they are occupied, I can just set it up to use the average of the two sensors or just use the sensor outside of the theater.

I replaced the AT screen fabric in my room and did not post about it in my thread, so updating the thread. I installed the Screen Acoustic V6 fabric on my curved power masking frame. The install went even better than expected. The surface is perfect without a single blemish. Once the grip rails were installed the fabric installation was super easy and tensioned very well. Grip rails were not had to install, but took a little bit of time, since I mechanically attached (screw every 3") since my frame is curved. I then applied a bead of glue on the back side of the grip rail. Probably overkill, but being an engineer, I usually do overkill.

Fabric installed, without masking system in place.

Masking system back in place, so that screen is 100% completed.

V6 is 0.84 gain. Actually about a 12% increase in brightness from my old screen. I went from 0.75 to 0.84 gain.

Hey Mike,
Mark Haskins here again moved over to the new forum.  What a powerhouse of a HT!  Built for performance is right!  Was it difficult to dial in the MiniDSPs?  I'll be in touch about a possible projector upgrade for my mancave.

Welcome. No was not hard, but I sure do not like Phoenix connectors and with two 10x10HD's I have a lot of connections. .

Latest change to my HT system. I sold my RS4500, purchased an RS640 and I replaced my six channel Rane amp with three Crown XLS-1002 amps. These three amps feed my TD12M's and TPL-150H tweeters on my active LCR's.

[AVSMike]

A few weeks ago I purchased four more Crown XLS-1002 amps. Now my 3-way active LCR's and all of my surround speakers  are powered by these Crown amps. Very happy with my system. Only thing that I could think of to improve my system would be a projector that performs HDR better.
