Sandmans Home Theater Construction Begins! - Page 121

Hi Ruben,
How did you combine the acoustic treatment of ceiling reflection points with your star light ceiling - I copying your star light idea

BPape advised me at some point to bass trap treat the ceiling area right above the primary row - how would I combine that with the starlights?
And how about 1st reflection points? Drill holes or cut squares in the masonite at starless areas, with OC703 behind?

My AT SMX 2.4:1 screen bought last year is still sitting in its box, progress in the HT 2.0 construction is slow

Cheers,

Sound would just reflect off of the masonite. You would need to use just the OC703, and wrap that and drill through for the fibers. I have not gotten that far yet, so have never played with OC703 to know if it is stiff enough to accomplish this task.

I am looking for the screen material that Ruben had decided upon but cannot anymore. Has the thread been modified since he started the SMX business?

In the beginning when Ruben started down the path of tinkering with screen materials he used a Phifer Sheerweave 4500 in caulk, that was fine for 720P, then he had the company do a special custom weave for 1080P and recently developed even another fabric.

Only the original fabric which he no longer uses can be sourced by the consumer. http://www.interiormall.com/cat/nsam...=113044&t=2182

If you visit the screen forums both commercial and DIY there is a lot of discussion of alternative fabrics available.

So does anyone know what he finally used for his home screen?

Hey Man

I have spent the last 2 days reading through this build Congrats on an incredible project!! I am looking into using a tablet PC with touchscreen to control my HTPC What software will I need to control this? and What is the best way to rip DVDs and Blu Rays? I tried DVD Clone and no success. Thanks man.

An SMX screen.

As if that was a surprise!

Oh ho ho. You're a riot. :-P

Great job！
Very nice！
Thank you very much！

this is a great record and archive of the process and build-

looking back through it was great....

nice job OP

congrats

I realize that there is always someone out there with a mouth smarter than mine. But the question is a legitimate one. I am wondering about the difference between his original one that he initially installed vs. the ones he ordered specifically for his SMX business. I would like to know what I am investing in before I drop a couple of thousand for the SMX screen.

I would like to know that too as I have an unused roll of SMX1.0 from back when he was simply buying 30 ft rolls of Pfeifer 4500 and cutting it up for AVS brothers. I think I got a piece off the second roll. Little did we know that we were partially funding his start-up. Albeit a small portion. Since then he has been close to the vest with his "Proprietary" weave.

what would you assume is the total cost of the project?

No need to assume.

I did a quick review of that list and found some items missing:

new Projector
Screen (at cost I hope)
switched out the speakers for Klipsh
went with a Danly Sub.
HTPC and servers.

First rule of marital budget negotiation - never mention future upgrades.

Oh yeah, you've got that right!

And imagine my surprise when I found out that the kitchen comes before the theater...

Eagerly waiting for my shipment, no real rush as I've wanted an SMX Screen for years. This sale was too good to pass up. I am working on hanging my new projector and lens today.

Any plans of expanding your operations in ASIA sir Ruben?

What's your room dimensions and projection screen size sir?

Thank you.

Same question I asked above sir, may I know your room dimension and projection screen size?

Thank you

I hope you'll have a dealer for ASIA soon he he

Marlon - you will need to PM those people since they aren't the thread's original poster. The odds that they will read your question are practically zero. Or better yet, go to that builders thread. He has it in his signature file.

Ruben, I have been looking over your thread for the last 3 days continuously. WOW, what an incredible job. My only question is how did you hang the starlite panels to the ceiling? I see how you wrapped them, put the starlite in, etc. But don't know after they were wrapped, hot glued the starlite, etc how you hung it to the ceiling. Did you screw through the fabric into the ceiling?

Thanks

I had posted something in this forum (about 4 or 5 years ago) and then after my computer crashed I never found my way back here. Now, today, I stumbled upon that old string posts... and see that I was asked a question that was never answered. So... let me do it now.

I mix my own paint that is both reflective (under a black light) and also Glow-In-The-Dark too. The glow, if the room is very dark, can last for up to 12 hours. I have a customer in California who uses the black light to see the night sky while the movie is playing... and then turns everything off to see the mural in total darkness after the movie. you get two different murals when you do it that way.

Search this thread for "fiber optic". There is a central light source running fiber optics to each point of light.

absolutely gorgeous, i'm jealous
