Plan viewing, projection/display, speaker layout, acoustic and lighting coordination, equipment racks, control, power, ventilation, and cable schedules.

Discipline hub brief — draft. Keep this hub focused on residential viewing/listening rooms while commercial AV owns distributed and enterprise AV topics.

Hub sections

  1. Room/use goals, seating, sightlines, screen size/location, projector/display, ambient light, and user priorities.
  2. Speaker/subwoofer positions, acoustic conditions/treatment coordination, isolation expectations, and calibration access.
  3. Sources, processing/amplification, rack location, ventilation, power, control, network, and future pathways.
  4. Floor plans, elevations, reflected ceiling details, signal flow, equipment/cable schedules, BOM, and scope.
  5. Commissioning, calibration, user training, support, and as-built records.

Original evidence

Curate a room plan/elevation with sightlines, screen/projector geometry, speaker layout, rack/cable schedule, and documented assumptions.

Review

Use current manufacturer data and qualified AV, structural, electrical, HVAC, acoustic, and accessibility review as needed.
