We're buying a new-build house. One of the rooms I want to turn into a cinema in the future.
One of the things I don't want is speakers everywhere, so I'm thinking of in-ceiling or in-wall speakers. The house is still at the electrics and plumbing stage, so if I'm going to do this, now is as good a time as any. Ceiling would be easier to sell to the other half I reckon.
I figure I'd still use 'proper' speakers for the front soundstage but its the various surround jobbies I'm looking to hide. I figure one per corner would be sufficient to play about with room layout.
So.. what do I need to look out for / avoid? Any special fitting needed for them, or is it just cut holes, run cables, fit speaker, and maybe some caulking/sealer to refit to the ceiling?
I figure all the cable runs should go back to wherever I want the AV amp, and that I should have a face-plate with banana sockets to patch up to the amp.
I'm also hoping to get a projector permanently mounted up there, so I'll need a mains socket, and a HDMI connection. Can you get HDMI sockets that are wall/ceiling mountable?
Ta!
