Design
Define the room, user experience and infrastructure before products make the decisions.
Houston design · installation · service
A private cinema that performs in every seat.
A convincing theater comes from matching the room, seating, picture, speaker geometry, bass, acoustics, lighting and control. We design from the seats outward before products dictate the room.
What we plan
The result is simple because the system behind it is considered.
Obsidian AV combines design, field engineering, programming and service so the visible experience and the underlying infrastructure support each other.
- Sightlines and seating distance
- Projection and screen selection
- Dolby Atmos speaker geometry
- Multiple-subwoofer planning
- Acoustics, lighting and control
Built to perform
Planning, programming and commissioning under one roof.
Performance depends on the complete path: room conditions, infrastructure, network, power, wiring, equipment selection, programming and final testing. We coordinate those layers instead of treating the project as a list of products.
- Room and workflow discovery
- Infrastructure and signal-path planning
- Programming and interface design
- Testing under real operating conditions
- Documentation and local support

Program
