We all will have a lot to speak about friendship and how we cherish good friendships. We have one such incredible story to tell you about today. Mr. Ravi, Mr. Suresh, and Mr. Rajan had been friends for over 3 decades.

They grow up together in their hometown of Hyderabad in India. They went to school together, came to Australia for Uni together and they bought three consecutive lands right next to each other, and build 3 exactly similar houses together.

Sounds incredible right? Well, the story doesn't stop there. They build three Epic 7.2.4 Home Theaters together. Now you know how Digital Cinema comes into the story.

I recently had the opportunity to interview all three of them, for a video series for Digital Cinema (which will be linked towards the end) Let's go through some of the excerpts from the meeting.

Did I mention that all three of them are hardcore Cricket fans? So all of them are huge movie buffs and cricket fans and they wanted to level up their home sport/movie viewing experience for their new proposed home builds.

Mr Ravi had been on the lookout for Home Theater builders and they had two main objectives for their selection process

  1. No compromise on Sound/Video Quality
  2. Big on Value for money as they are looking for 3 Home Cinemas together

Ravi had done their research online looking for the components and one of DC specials pricing caught his eye. His exact words were “ That price is too good to be true and I wanted to check it out in person.” That's how he visited the DC flagship store in Auburn for the first time. Atish was his initial point of contact in the store. This was during the preplanning of the house build and points to them for thinking ahead. 

They included the home theater build cost into the home loan by planning ahead with the help of the builder and consultation from DC.

Two months after the initial visit the pre-wiring was done in all three houses, during the gyprock stage.

Being a 7.2.4 Channel Home theater, prewiring proved to be very important for the smooth installation of the home theater. 

Enough of the history and let's take a look into the home theaters itself. The room sizes that we worked with are 6.5 x 4 x 2.7 in dimensions.

Digital Cinema was able to provide the top-of-the-line 7.2.4 Atmos Home Cinema with a 140” Elegance Screens Symphony Home Theatre Screen, Nova Star Ceilings, Nova Acoustics Sound blocks, Carson The Director Recliners, and all installed in calibrated in 2 days.
