The first function of this room is the living room, and the second is the cinema. The video part of the installation is impressive solidity. A three-beam BARCO Cine 7 CRT projector with a good foreign car hovers above the ceiling, and on the wall is a 3.3 meter DRAPER screen. In short, there is something to see and listen to.
Alexander Krutko: "The equipment from all continents is assembled here. In the home theater, the signal from a truly English player NAD Electronics is processed by a PARASOUND surround sound processor of the American origin, then acting on amplifiers from the same company. It would seem that the further choice of acoustics is predetermined. But here an unexpected move. links of the tract were selected relatively rare in Russia, the Swiss PIEGA speaker systems. These are very expensive and stylish speakers in aluminum cases, obtained by the expensive ext Romania (pulling an aluminum blank through the form). A characteristic feature of PIEGA is the use of tape radiators for the high frequency range. Sensitive and linear ribbon has been long appreciated by experts for the excellent quality of the transfer of the smallest musical nuances. In home cinema, high detail of dialogues and spatial effects directly depends on proximity parameters of all the speakers.Therefore, all the sound in this living room is built on PIEGA, including the second zone of the multiroom - two more shelf speakers comfortably settled with Here, in an improvised bar with a rack-aquarium. In order not to violate the necessary acoustic symmetry, the effects columns in the cinema are hung on special brackets directly to the living room ceiling.
As an additional source of signal in this system, there is a Living Control Music Box media server connected to a multi-room and storing archives of music and movies on the built-in hard drive. Elements of "smart home" are made on the components of AMX. Satellite television has not been forgotten either: as many as two ECHOSTAR satellite receivers (DVR-7000 and DSB-707) are in charge. "
Sergey Makushev: "There is a lot of polished stone, glass - materials that are not very successful in terms of acoustics, but, I repeat, we were primarily concerned with ensuring that this room responded to the living room function. Therefore, comfortable furniture and a horizontal abstract picture appeared here. the screen closes the picture.The options were discussed - a clock, a metal plate with the image of a knight, but as a result settled on an abstraction that, in our opinion, “collects” space in a certain way. As for the knight’s it goes around the house (no wonder we call it "the house with knights"), in particular, these are armor, effectively contrasting with the modern interior. But in the living room there is nothing like that, because we wanted to make it more calm. In the end In the end, this is a place to relax. And the cinema is responsible for the vivid impressions. "
