“We had Ben and his team at H3 Digital perform works at our villa including a split audio system between the pool and bar areas and the installation of the home cinema including projector, retractable screen and speaker set-up.

I would highly recommend Ben and H3 for any works as they were prompt, reliable and reasonably priced”

— Ben Davis

“I wanted a professional Home cinema setup in my house but I wasn’t too impressed with what was for sale in the retail shops as we had a large space and I wanted a full THX system.

We contacted Rob after a referral from a friend who had great experiences with H3. Rob and his team came by to view the actual space and made some on the spot recommendations. We agreed on the setup based on what we wanted from the system and Rob and his team had meetings with the developer in order to integrate everything into the renovation. The end results looks and sounds amazing, really happy with the recommendations and the setup and the service provided by the team.”

Home Cinema Design Process

Designing a Home Theater System starts out with you the customer, we listen and try to understand how you will be using your home theater, and use our extensive knowledge (We are both CEDIA and THX certified) and experience to help bring your home cinema to to life.

At each stage we bring expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail - it is the Design stage however that points towards a successful project. While each home theater project is an individual experience; our design process resembles;

Initial Consultation
We meet with you or your representatives and listen to what you want from a home cinema or media room. we take time to understand what you will be watching, the sort of movies and TV series you enjoy and what sort of home theater style and seating you envision. It’s a great time to ask us any questions you might have regarding surround sound, screen size or what the lastest in 4k and HDR technologies really bring to the table.
Proposal
Our initial home theater proposal gives you an idea of what to expect in terms of cost and timescales. Some clients go with our first proposal but generally people make subtle changes to tailor the home theater to their ideas, perhaps they want more or bigger subwoofers, a bigger screen or a custom colour from our hand made home theater recliners.
Conceptual Plan
A conceptual plan is drawn up, this non-technical drawing is used for further discussion and ideas. It will give you an idea of the overall layout, where the seats are, how big the screen looks in the room.
AutoCad Plan
This is the final technical plan of your home cinema and is used by key stakeholders to build and fit out your home cinema with precise dimensions and cabling/hardware plans.

Whether you are looking for a living room, media room or dedicated cinema, good design at the start will be key to having the best possible home theater experience.

Before meeting with us it is worthwhile having a quick think about the following so that your very own home theater is exactly what you want. The bigger the screen and the more comfortable, the better but a home theater can have a screen that is too large (we generally don’t go above 150”) so it’s worth talking to us if you have any questions about viewing angles and distances.

Screen Size
What home theater screen size would you like? Think BIG Screen as 4k and High Definition content means brilliant, bright, sharp, detailed images at any screen size.
Projector or TV based home theater?
Do you want a dedicated home cinema room with home theater projector and screen or a big TV in a media room.
Dedicated Cinema or Living Room
If you have a spare room or space under the swimming pool, a dedicated room is great fun - Just think, you’r very own home theater with you can use a projector and fit in some cool home theater recliners - a Living Room or Media Room setup can also be great fun and a central focal point for the family.
Surround Sound
Home Cinema typically starts at 5.1 surround sound for the basic home theater package, that's 5 speakers (Left, Centre, Right, Rear L, Rear R) and a Subwoofer. For larger rooms a 7.1 or 9.1 setup or even Dolby Atmos setup might suit, Dolby Atmos adds additional ceiling speakers to give a feeling of height and depth to sound effects. Dolby Atmos is normally written as 7.2.1. The first number is the amount of surround speakers, the second number the Dolby Atmos height speakers and the last number is the amount of subwoofers in the theater.

Other Cinema Installs in Thailand

We've been installing home theatres since 2004 and have successfully completed many installs, below are some of the other great cinemas we've installed for home owners in Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin and Bangkok.

Home Cinema Products

As well as custom designed home cinemas, media rooms and entertainment centres we also supply a range of custom made cinema equipment to trade and retail throughout SE Asia.

Home Theatre Seating

Hand made custom theatre recliners, made right here in Thailand using the finest in Italian Leather. These can be fitted with motors for the ultimate in luxury cinema seating or are available in a manual recline. Being custom made for us these are available in just about any colour/finish you wish.

The seats are a modular system and they can be configured for any size or style of room. Available in single seat, love seat and bench seat or a mixture - however you need them. Choose simple arms or add cup holders or tray / remote control holders. Every time we install our custom home theater recliners the customer has been very vocal in how much more they find themselves enjoying the movie, how much better the theater room looks and feels.

Popcorn Machines

if you want the genuine, full on, 100% authentic movie theatre experience (or you just really like popcorn) then you need one of our cool popcorn machines. They don't just make your cinema look great but they make brilliant popcorn as well.

Acoustic Treatment

We can design and install acoustic treatments for your wall to ensure you are getting crystal clear sound, and spine tingling bass.

Treating your room acoustically with foam will not soundproof your room, to do that you would need to ISOLATE the room. Foam treatment helps to address reverberation, echo and slap by absorbing and reflecting sound waves.

By engineering the theatre room for the best sound experience it not only makes voices more intelligible, it also improves the surround sound and clarity of music you are listening to.

Fibre Optic Star Ceilings

For that finishing touch to a home cinema, or if you just want the feeling of sitting under the stars at night, get one of our fibre optic star ceiling kits. A starlight ceiling can help transform an entire room into something very special - an amazing home theatre. With our Smart Home systems you can even connect the Star ceiling to your lighting control system, dimmer or home automation to really make it sparkle.

Home Cinema FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is Home Cinema?

Home cinema implies a real “cinema experience” at home, normally a dedicated room for watching movies and tv on a BIG screen. A cinema room is expected to add value to your home and become a focus for entertaining and family nights in.

Home Cinema, Home Theatre or Home Theater?

Now this is a tricky one, Home Theatre (in the UK) or Home Theater (In the US) used to be the popular name for a dedicated movie watching room but Home Cinema seems to be the de rigueur term, some people also call it a media room although this is more likely a mixed use room, rather than a Theater room dedicated to big screen movies and television.

Whats in a Home Cinema?

A large screen - from 72 inches to 150 inches (measured diagonally) either projection or an LED TV. The sound system will feature an amplifier (home theatre receiver) which powers either 5, 7 or 9 surround sound speakers (Dolby Atmos adds ceiling speakers) and a subwoofer or two for Bass. You will also need a source so that you can get hold of 4k, HD and HDR content.

What can I watch?

High definition sources include Blu Ray Discs, Playstation 4, Xbox, AppleTV, Amazon Prime, Netflix and Media centres, which store movies and TV series that you can browse on your home theater screen via a gallery.

What's the picture quality like?

Excellent, High Definition (1080p) and 4k sources are available that are crystal clear at huge screen sizes. Projectors offer a better film experience but Tv's are sometimes more practical when a dedicated theater room isn’t required or available. Projection based cinema will need light control (being able to turn lights off and close curtains). a 4k Movie in HDR can look jaw droppingly good, if you haven’t seen projection based home theater in the last decade or so I suggest a viewing - It’s come on so far since the old days of CRT and low resolution Projectors.

What is 4k?

Also known as UHD (Ultra High Definition) it refers to a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels for home TV and Movies this will be 3840 × 2160 pixels. The extra pixels allow you to pick out more detail from images, they look more life like - the bigger the screen, the more your eyes are physically able to draw more detail from the image.

Is 4K content available?

Yes, Netflix and Amazon prime have a lot of their TV shows and films available in 4k resolution and some Blu Rays support 4k as well, although the industry is generally pointing towards streaming services, discs will probably not be around for much longer.

What about acoustics?

Every home theater room is unique and everything inside that space will dramatically change the way it sounds. We work to make sure that your room sounds amazing, by choosing the right home cinema amplifiers, speakers and subwoofer we ensure that it sounds great - we can recommend and install treatments and acoustically engineer the space to take it to the next level.

Can home theater speakers be used for music?

Yes and indeed for some music can sound amazing when it’s setup properly - Firstly we make sure that we partner your home theater speakers, amplifiers and subs with a multi room audio source like a Sonos Connect, Nuvo p300 or AppleTV and then we can program your all in one remote control for a music setting on the amplifier (both Dolby and DTS have stereo/music modes).

How do I control it all?

Easily, our touch screen all-in-one remotes turn on all of the equipment with a single button press, turn everything off at the end with another button press.

Can I hide all the speakers?

Yes we can build speakers into walls, cabinets, ceilings and columns so you don't see them.

What is Dolby Atmos?

Traditional surround soundtracks confine all sounds to the 5.1 or 7.1 channels of a typical home theater setup, Dolby Atmos adds one or two pairs of overhead speakers (a height channel) as well for added immersion, such as when a helicopter flies directly overhead.

Wherabouts in Thailand do you install?

We install Home Theatres in Chiang Mai, Phuket, Bangkok and Hua Hin.

Do you install in other countries?

H3 Digital have installed home cinemas in Hong Kong, United Kingdom and Myanmar. We welcome inquiries from these and other SE Asian countries.

How much is it going to cost?

It's more affordable than many think, we offer a range of packages (silver, gold and platinum) whcih are geared towards mid, high and premium level home theatre.
