My garden office/cinema (6m x 4m) room is being built over the next month. I'm currently planning for electrics/wiring etc and was wondering whether anyone could offer any pointers beofre construction starts. I'm looking at a ceiling mounted Sony VPL-HW45ES Projector with an approx 100 inch screen and a Q Acoustics Q7000i 5.1 setup. I'll be seated appox 3.2m from the projector screen.
1) Should I channel a 2 inch plastic pipe into the ceiling space for cabling from the projector to the AV Receiver (HDMI cable) or is there a wireless way of doing this?
2) Should I conceal the speaker cable within the wall space or is this overkill?
3) I don't want a batcave as I'll also be using the space as an office also - would just painting the projector wall a dark colour help with the picture quality?
I'd be grateful for any further suggestions which I may not have thought of. I'm still learning, so anything that may help pre-construction, would be appreciated.
Cheers
