July 22, 2024 Deeper into RP22 - Dynamics
This time around we go deeper into the RP22 metrics, which divide into Dynamics, Spatial and Timbre (or Timber, if you're from Stoke).

We start off with dynamics - Sound Pressure Level, Low Frequency Effect, and particularly, Noise Floor.

And Tom throws a bit of a tizzy. Awww.

June 23, 2024 Business at the front, party in the back
When it comes to styling, you can have whatever you want - up until the point it starts to affect the performance, and then we have to talk about it.

This week Tom and Owen go through some popular room styles, ideas about the process, and CPD training for our architect and interior design friends.

May 31, 2024 Rendered to perfection
Tom and Owen both design in 3D, but very differently - Tom's Team Solidworks and Owen is Team SketchUp.

Let's have a fight!

No, not really. We talk about our processes and workflow with 3D modelling and how they help us create engineered cinema rooms.

May 17, 2024 The Infinite Bullshit Generator
This week Owen and Tom are back on our bullshit - there's a lot of it about and thanks to AI it's increasing to near-infinite levels. We examine some of the most egregious examples in the home cinema industry, and wonder whether we can drag our industry from being bullshitters to professionals.

January 22, 2024 Video calibration with Dr Julian Scott
This week Tom and Owen are joined by Dr Julian Scott from https://displaycalibration.co.uk/ to talk about video calibration, the Professional Video Alliance (PVA) and why white-walled projection rooms are (still) a really, really silly idea.

November 30, 2023 Myths, misconceptions and excuses
'Everyone knows that...' but is it true?

Tom and Owen go over some of our least favourite home cinema myths, misconceptions, and bad excuses. Big thanks to Ben Pratt for the idea and to Peter Aylett for the longest list of suggestions! Bit sweary.

November 14, 2023 Waveforming with David Meyerowitz of Trinnov Audio
This week we're joined by David Meyerowitz of Trinnov Audio to explain their new Waveforming system. This technology really does seem to solve the long-standing problem of achieving great bass, for more listeners, in a small room. This could genuinely change the game. PS no Tom this week as he wasn't very well.

October 31, 2023 Calibration
Once you've designed and installed the cinema to the best of your ability, you'll need to calibrate the system. There's a lot of difference between 'manufacturer auto-calibration' and what a trained, experienced pro can do with a bit of knowledge and the right equipment. Hosts Tom and Owen (mostly Tom this week) give you a 28-minute overview and talk about our (matching) calibration setups.
