Essential Equipment for Every Home Theater

Finally, you can have all the latest and greatest audio/visual toys in your home, and you can get that movie theater experience without going anywhere. You’ll need some essential equipment for every home theater to achieve that, so check out this list and don’t leave anything out.

Quality Speakers

Having quality speakers that deliver crystal clear sound to every corner of your home will take your theater to the next level. In the old days, giant speakers sat next to the TV, but that’s over and done with. Today, we know better. You can find much better tech out there that comes in smaller packages, and they’ll make your ears ring for days. While speakers have gotten smaller, the sound has gotten bigger. Find what works for you and crank it up to 11.

Source Components

You will need something to bring all your favorite flicks and shows to life, and having every available form of source component in your theater is key. DVDs, Blue Ray, and CDs are not dead yet, and most homes still have them somewhere. Set those players up, then get your favorite streaming device going. The Amazon Firestick offers an amazing way to house your streaming platforms, or try setting up a desktop tower. Get them all so that you never miss a thing.

Remote Controls

Remote controls are a gift, except when you have six of them fighting for space on a table. Every component you add will come with its own, and all those different remotes means you’ll always waste time trying to find the right one just to binge some shows. Buy a universal remote to control it all and simplify the whole process. It might be a pain in the butt to set up, but once it’s done, you’ll be in a better place.

Massive Screens

There is no right or wrong choice here. The only choice is deciding on big or insanely big. There are OLED, LCD TVs, HD TVs, video projectors, and a million other variations on the same thing. Before you buy anything, make sure that your theater can handle it. Spending a few grand on something that’s too big to get in the door or on the wall will put a damper on your excitement.

Top Notch Surge Protector

The surge protector is the unsung hero you need. You’ll have a lot of juice running through the theater, so it’s a good idea to protect it. Everything will run on the same circuit, and that many devices can overload it. Protect all your equipment from blackouts, brown outs, blown fuses, and surges. A simple surge protector will keep your electronics from blowing out during a power surge.
