So, I have been asked to help design a screening room at the school in which I work.
So, I'm looking for some good options for all of the equipment needed -
what I know I want:
1080p projector, not opposed to a 4k (high lumens and ratio, but needs to be short throw lens - since the mounting position is 21'9" from the screen)
7.1 surround system (I was looking at the Yamaha systems like theRX - a1030, but might opt for a separates unit like one of their higher end systems)
Speakers - clearly I need at least 7 and a sub - I want wall mount (so they don't walk away) but am open to options since I know little about speakers these days.
Control unit - because of the nature of this I want a wall mounted touch screen interface - thoughts on a good way to do that?
The room is appx. 33'x3', with 18' ceiling, it will have a four level seating area, seating about 45-60 people (depending on riser construction) - the room will ultimately be used to screen film students projects, and other school projects (also gaming and movie watching for my staff). I'm aiming for a $10,000 budget - but could go a touch higher if appropriate.
Thanks, any thought would be great - or places to find what I'm looking for, amazon.com is only good for so much.
