CEDIA Expo served as the launching pad for Home Theaterology, a book by Richard Charschan designed to inspire technology integrators, interior designers, and architects to integrate captivating home theaters into their projects. Charschan had a book signing on Thursday at the CEDIA booth #2537.
“Home theaters have the potential to be the dazzling centerpiece of any home, yet we’ve seen a significant decline in their integration into residential houses,” Charschan explained. “To reignite this passion, we created Home Theaterology. This book is more than just a publication; it’s a movement to elevate the home theater experience and educate the custom integration, design, and architecture communities on the immense potential of home theaters.”
With the blessing and inspiration from Theo Kalomirakis, a pioneer in promoting the excitement of home theaters, Home Theaterology is designed to educate and inspire the design community to embrace this luxury as a centerpiece for modern homes. Attendees can purchase advance copies exclusively at the CEDIA Expo, providing an opportunity to explore the possibilities of home theater technology directly on the show floor.
Charschan, president of AcousticSmart Home Theatre Interiors, is a seasoned expert in designing and building home theaters. He brought together top manufacturers and professionals to showcase 15 incredible home theater projects in the book. The projects are beautifully photographed and include insightful tidbits about the key components that make a home theater truly luxurious.
Home Theaterology is a valuable resource for integrators, interior designers, and architects to share with the clients, providing a showcase of what can be achieved in a home theater room. It features contributions from industry-leading manufacturers such as Kaleidescape, Barco, Storm Audio, The Meridian Group, Apex Technologies, Harman JBL, D-Tools, and MadVR, among others.
Barry Sonnenfeld, an acclaimed director and cinematographer, wrote the foreword, emphasizing the critical role of home theaters in delivering an unparalleled cinematic experience. With insights from experts like Joel Silver on video calibration and Tony Grimani on acoustics, Home Theaterology provides valuable knowledge to inspire designers and architects to embrace the resurgent trend of home theaters.
“We are excited to support Richard Charschan as he debuts Home Theaterology at CEDIA Expo 2024,” said Jason McGraw, CTS, group vice president for Emerald. “Home theaters provide an incredible opportunity for custom integrators to expand their businesses, meanwhile, creating a stunning focal point for homeowners and enhancing their overall living experience.”
