Dedicated audio circuit

Audio equipment — a separate circuit with a separate ground: «star» topology from the panel. This removes hum and interference from household appliances.

Video and projector

Projector — dedicated circuit + UPS. HDMI/HDBaseT cable routes are laid away from power lines — the design keeps 30 cm distance.

Grounding

Star grounding: all equipment connects to one point. PE bus in the AV cabinet — no loops, no potential difference.

Lighting

Dimmable lighting with a scene «Movie»: local dimming, no bright spots above the screen. The design includes a separate dimming group.

Sockets

Behind the equipment — 6-10 sockets with reserve; on the wall — sockets for consoles and peripherals. All sockets with RCD 30 mA.

Why it matters

A home cinema without design: hum, flicker, hot equipment, one overloaded socket. With design — everything works from the first switch-on.
