Bespoke Home Cinema Design
Reference-grade physics.
Box-office impact.
From Media Rooms
to Reference Private Theatres
Whether designing a multi-purpose media space or a dedicated private cinema, Prestige Home Automation applies the same rigorous engineering standards. We partner with the world's leading visual and acoustic manufacturers - including Sony, Trinnov, and Artnovion - to deliver performance that scales perfectly to your home and budget.
Native 4K reality, upscaled fantasy.
At Prestige Home Automation, we treat the projector as the artist and the screen as the canvas. We specify Sony Bravia professional laser projectors to ensure your visual foundation is as technically precise as the audio stack powering it.
Native 4K SXRD™ Technology While consumer systems often upscale detail, Sony delivers true Native 4K via proprietary SXRD panels. This brings mastering-studio sharpness to your home, ensuring every pixel is rendered with absolute cinematic clarity.
Z-Phosphor™ Laser Performance We utilise Sony’s high-brightness laser engines for 20,000 hours of maintenance-free performance. This technology maintains "day one" colour accuracy far longer than lamps, enabling stunning HDR10+ even in ambient light.
Dynamic HDR Enhancement Driven by the X1™ Ultimate processor, our Sony systems perform real-time frame analysis to optimise contrast. This ensures "inky" black levels and brilliant highlights, creating the three-dimensional depth that defines the PHA standard.
The Optical Surface
Why settle for a generic screen that washes out your image when you can have an engineered "Optical Canvas" precisely matched to your room’s unique light levels?
We partner with Screen Research and Screen Innovations (SI) to ensure every lumen from your Sony projector is perfectly preserved. For dedicated theatres, we specify Acoustically Transparent woven surfaces, allowing your Krix speakers to sit directly behind the action for perfect dialogue anchoring. In multi-purpose media rooms, we deploy SI’s Black Diamond ALR technology to reject ambient light, delivering punchy 4K clarity even in bright daylight. By specialising in 2.40:1 CinemaScope aspect ratios, we eliminate distracting "black bars," transforming your viewing area into the panoramic immersion intended by the director.
Reference-grade physics, industrial volume
Why settle for a "sweet spot" when you can engineer a uniform soundstage for every seat?
At Prestige Home Automation, we treat the room as the most complex component. Using Trinnov’s intelligence and Krix’s brawn, we master room physics to deliver a composed, visceral experience that transitions from a whisper to a sonic boom with total authority.
Trinnov Waveforming™: Precision Bass We solve the challenge of "muddy" low-frequency reflections using the Trinnov Altitude platform. By actively "cancelling" bass as it hits the rear wall, we achieve a surgical low-end. This ensures every viewer feels the same physical impact without the distraction of room resonance.
Krix: The Wall of Sound Krix brings professional heritage from 3,000 global cinemas into your residence. We specialise in Series MX modular baffle walls—massive systems hidden behind acoustically transparent screens. These industrial drivers provide the massive dynamic headroom required for true "kick-in-the-chest" realism.
Acoustic Architecture
Why invest in world-class hardware only to let poor room physics destroy the performance? An untreated room is simply an echo chamber that masks detail and muddies the soundstage.
At Prestige Home Automation, we turn acoustic necessity into a premium design feature by partnering with Artnovion. Using high-performance absorbers and 3D diffusers, we mathematically treat the space to eliminate standing waves and flutter echoes while enhancing the architectural aesthetic. Every project is built upon rigorous engineering standards, beginning with exhaustive CAD modelling and M&E documentation to ensure acoustic treatments, lighting, and HVAC are seamlessly integrated. Whether you require minimalist fabric-wrapped walls or striking geometric wood panels, we engineer the environment to perform as beautifully as it looks.
One touch to play.
No friction.
A high-end cinema should be defined by its performance, not its complexity.
We consolidate your Sony projector, Trinnov processing, and Lutron lighting into a single, intuitive interface. Whether you prefer a dedicated touch screen or a high-performance tactile remote, we ensure that starting your movie is as effortless as sitting down.
Control4 Halo Remote: We specify the Halo for its refined ergonomics and backlit buttons, giving you instant, tactile control over volume and playback without needing to look away from the screen.
Crestron HR-310: For absolute reliability, the Crestron handheld remote offers "no-fail" performance and custom-engraved buttons, ensuring the whole family can operate the room with zero training.
Delivering box-office precision
Bespoke Cinema Architecture
We don’t just "fit" screens; we collaborate on the structural soul of the room. Working alongside architects and interior designers across London and the Home Counties, we provide the technical rigour required for high-performance private theatres. From the initial first-fix in a Hertfordshire basement to the final handover of a London penthouse cinema, every speaker placement and viewing angle is mathematically optimised. We provide full CAD schematics and M&E documentation to ensure your cinema's infrastructure is as robust as the Trinnov and Krix hardware it supports.
The Gold Standard of Calibration
A world-class cinema in Essex should sound identical to a professional mastering suite in Hollywood. We apply the same reference-level calibration standards to every project, regardless of the room's footprint. By combining professional-grade acoustic analysis with expert ears, we fine-tune your Sony optics and Trinnov processing to the unique resonance of your home. The result is a system that delivers the absolute "Prestige" experience: effortless, immersive, and engineered to perform for a lifetime.

We are strategically located to serve clients across London, Hertfordshire, and Essex, providing specialist design and installation services for private theatres. Whether you are renovating a townhouse in Chelsea or building a dedicated cinema wing in Epping, our engineering team provides on-site consultation and full project management across the South East.
-
We specify Trinnov and Krix because they represent the pinnacle of commercial cinema technology scaled for the residence. While standard receivers struggle with room physics, a Trinnov Altitude processor uses Waveforming™ technology to actively cancel bass reflections, ensuring every seat experiences the same visceral impact. When paired with Krix Series MX baffle walls hidden behind the screen, the result is a professional "Wall of Sound" with effortless dynamic range.
-
Absolutely. Many of our London and St Albans projects involve optimising basements or tiered attic spaces with challenging dimensions. By utilising Artnovion acoustic treatments and Sony native 4K optics, we can engineer a reference-level experience in rooms as small as 4m x 3m. We specialise in scaling technology to ensure that compact rooms deliver the same immersive depth as a full-sized private theatre.
-
Our "Engineering First" approach prioritises architectural harmony. We partner with Artnovion to use acoustic treatments that double as design features—turning absorbers and diffusers into geometric wall art or hiding them behind bespoke fabric finishes. By integrating Sony projectors into motorised lifts and using acoustically transparent screens to conceal Krix speakers, we ensure your cinema performs flawlessly without visible "tech-clutter".
-
Every project we undertake in Essex, Herts, or London is built on a high-bandwidth digital foundation. We install managed AV-over-IP networks using Fibre Optic or Category 6A cabling to support 18Gbps+ bandwidth requirements. By providing full CAD schematics and M&E documentation, we ensure your system is ready for 8K video and new object-based audio formats, protecting your investment for the long term.
