What Is CEDIA RP22 Home Cinema Design?

For one, it’s the international benchmark for residential cinema design performance capability to the actual distances of your seating layout.

Not all cinema systems are like for like, nor capable of solving different room sizes to the dynamic range needed to replicate a true RP22 cinema outcome. That’s why RP22 was developed; to inform design and benchmark choice selections based on required system performance parameters over audience distance and layout. It gives the homeowner more of a point of reference as to why a system will solve their room before its installed.

It underpins the matching of any considered system, to solve your room for a known performance outcome, and to what the content creators want you to experience.

But many providers cannot resource providing this system modelling or design service. This is our unique offering to help you and solve your room.

Cinema design and system selection is like the analogy of seeking a car solution to tow a boat. Not all cars will do the same job well. Poorly matched for power, you have a breakdown, or at best a fatiguing and lack-lustre driving experience. You need to ensure you solve the horsepower to tow the weight. Then additionally, you need quite specific power reserves for safe overtaking on the highway, so the ride feels flawless and responsive when the conditions become challenging.

Those big moments in cinema need a considered headroom design too, for each speaker, independently, and to which RP22 is the design reference point for solving across your unique audience layout.

To tow a boat, you need to balance the weight in the boat too, or things will get wobbly quickly. For cinema, Dolby Amos surround sound placement is a very precise, with an intricate array of speaker positions to the audience built specifically around how the brain perceives sound localisation. When accurately designed, balanced and placed to your audience, you get the full and precise spatial experience the content creators went to all the effort for you to experience.

Sound is so much of the story telling, tension, and flow of the movie. A great design, incorporating system choice selection modelling with accurate placement to audience locations to the RP22 benchmarks are an essential part to solving that spatial experience and bring the audience into the scene with realism in your unique room.
