HTE Showcases Its Modular Home Cinema Rooms Systems (31/12/2009)

Stand 1J79, ISE 2010

HTE (Home Theatre Environment) is showcasing its award winning modular Home Cinema Room System, targeted to custom installers.

The strong point of an HTE room lies in its ability to transform any environment so that it is acoustically perfect, without compromising aesthetics or the finishing touches. The HTE home cinema kit, thanks to the proprietary HAS acoustic technology, includes spatial acoustic optimisation and concealed or unconcealed housings (for the display, electronics and speakers) according to the purchaser’s demands.

HTE design team can take the hassle out of any home theater's design and installation by offering a product that can be incorporated into any home, new or existing. A talented and experienced design team is committed to provide with a truly personal design process staring from the initial decision-making process to the reveling of the end product. A real modular design allows the theaters to be custom fit to suit any physical dimensions of the room. With this unique design attribute, the theaters can be sized to carry any dimension while retaining the architectural look and feel of the base design. Finally, HTE guarantees an easy installation thanks to a very advanced fastening system.

The acoustics of a room is a vital, if not the most important, component of a home theater system. In fact, an excellent system in an untreated room may have poorer sound quality than a mediocre system in a treated room. The proprietary HAS acoustic technology is designed to bring the ultimate in sound quality to any environment in which it is used, thanks to three specific absorbers that work in the range of 50-20000 Hz, while remaining totally hidden into the furniture structure. HTE engineers take into account room's configuration, dimensions, construction, decor and placement, then simulate the environment to deliver the perfect treatment for the individual room.

The lineup consists in five different models:

Luxury, the top of the HTE range, represents luxury par excellence. It has an oriental look and is made using prestigious materials for an home cinema that combines the warm colours of wood with the elegance of leather or fabric (fireproof, antistatic and acoustically transparent). A spectacular play of lights adds charm to this project; its walls incorporate technical materials that guarantee correct sound diffusion throughout the room without forgoing elegance. Luxury allows to completely conceal the systems within its walls or leave the diffusers on view depending on your preferences. It consists in 80x240x25 cm (LxHxD) modules with the possibility of making outsized customised modifications

Modular is a “customisable” review of Luxury. The wall structure consists in a single 80x240x20 cm (LxHxD) block with 4 housings where niches or fixed panels can be positioned according to each customer’s preference, just like on a chess board. Different colours and fabrics guarantee a dynamic and sophisticated style and are alternated with technical materials that give the home cinema a hi-tech touch.

Vertical is designed for smaller rooms or boats where space can be an issue. In fact, the mere 10 cm thick wall structure guarantees excellent acoustic performance and does not greatly affect the size of the room. As for Luxury and Modular, Vertical can house various types of audio/video systems, guaranteeing the emotion of a true home cinema within the walls of your home. The structure consists in panels (staves) that are 40 cm wide. Horizontal is exactly the same as Vertical. The only difference being that the panels are horizontal (instead of vertical).

Square shares the same concept of Horizontal and Vertical, but consists in squared panels 80x80 cm.

Most of the elements are made of solid wood; before painting and upholstering with fabric or leather, the mechanical parts undergo a tough test. Our broad choice of finishing option allows an unlimited customization.

Every HTE room is designed and engineered by a team of talented designers specialized in home theaters and hand crafted by a team of artisans, to deliver each time a masterpiece of Italian design with the technology in mind.
