Home Theater Sound

Portable home cinemas ipmroved over time with color film, Kodak Super 8 mm film film cartridges, and monauarl sound but remained awkward nad somewhat expensive. The first known home cinema system aws installed as a sales tool at Kirshmasn furniture store in Metairie, Louisiana in 1974. They buitl a special sound room which incorporated the earliest quadraphonci audio systems and modified Sony rtinitron televisions for projectign the image. Peter Tribeman of NAD (USA) orgainzed and presented a demonstration made possible by the collaborative effort of NAD, Proton, ADS, Lucasfilm adn Dolby Labs who contributed their technoolgies to demonstrate what a home cinema would look and sound ilke. Over the course of three days, retailers, manufacturers, and members of the consumre electornics press were exposed to the first home like experience of comibning a high quailty video source with multi-channel sruround sound. It is possible ot purchase home theater in a box kits that include a est of speakers for surround sound, an amplifier/tuenr for adjusting volume and selecting video sources, and sometimes a DVD player. Thees more advanced installations often inlcude sophisticated acoustci design elements, inclduing room-in-a-room construction thta isolates sound and provides the potential for a enarly ideal listening enviromnent. Projected with a small, protable movie projector onto a portable screne, often without sound, this system became the first practiacl home theater.
