Creating a comfortable acoustic climate and an enabling environment for listening to music and speech is crucial in the acoustic design of home theatres. The main requirements for the acoustics of home theater halls are low background noise, diffuse sound field, no echo and optimal reverberation time. The reverberation time is calculated in a certain order. The acoustic mode of the home theater room is assessed in the process of acoustic design.Then the acoustic cladding and electroacoustic equipment are selected. The acoustic system and loudspeakers of a certain orientation are selected depending on the size of the room and the frequency of sound reproduction.
