Your Own Private Home Theater

Whether it’s movie night, game day, or an epic gaming session, experience content on a grand scale with immersive surround sound and perfect picture quality. Each system is tailored for your space to deliver unmatched performance. A professionally installed home theater system transforms any evening into something unforgettable.

What Makes a Home Theater?

Although the display steals most of the attention, many components go into creating the perfect theater environment in your home.

Lighting

A proper lighting setup is essential for both comfort and ambiance. Our comprehensive lighting design solutions include dimmable sconces, LED strip lighting, and task lamps for practical visibility. Integrated lighting control within your theater system, via Savant or Control4, lets you adjust lighting scenes effortlessly. Want a true cinematic vibe? Add star ceilings or hidden lighting for a more immersive effect. Whether you're in Kansas City, St. Louis, or central Missouri, we deliver stunning and functional home theater lighting that Missouri homeowners appreciate.

Acoustical Treatments

Experience your own entertainment oasis in an acoustically treated room isolated from the rest of the house. You’ll enjoy sound quality that exceeds commercial theaters with no reverberations or echoes taking you away from the action. Our acoustic treatments not only target audio reflections to ensure an even, natural soundscape but also serve as a stylistic flourish that enhances your overall theater design. Encore is trusted by builders and designers throughout Missouri to deliver acoustic installations that meet the highest standards. We also provide professional room tuning to deliver balanced, natural sound for every seat.

Control

Make your theater effortless to use with smart control that unifies all systems.Control4 and Savant control platforms allow you to manage lights, sound, video, climate, and more with a single remote, touchscreen, or mobile device. Preset scenes launch at the touch of a button: lights dim, the projector activates, and your content starts playing. As a Savant Ambassador, Encore brings industry-leading simplicity and elegance to every control experience.

Sound

Turn up the drama with a professional immersive surround sound installation from Encore AV. We tailor speaker placement and system design to suit your room’s layout and size, delivering cinematic sound without visible clutter. Feel powerful explosions reverberating throughout the room and the creak of floorboards as if they’re right behind you. With discreetly installed in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, you’ll enjoy the ultimate movie-watching experience in your Columbia home theater without intrusive tech ruining the aesthetics and decor.

Projectors

Embrace the big-screen classic cinema feel with a 4K or 8K projector in your home theater. With lifelike, larger-than-life images, you’re instantly transported into your movies. Encore offers projectors with advanced color and contrast capabilities, creating a window-like view into your favorite films. Stream the latest movie releases, sit back for football Sunday, or binge the latest TV series with stunning visuals like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. We also install acoustically transparent screens that allow for more optimally placed center speakers. Ambient light-rejecting screens keep image quality pristine regardless of room lighting.

Screens

Enjoy the optimal viewing experience by pairing your projector with an ambient light-rejecting screen. It only absorbs light from your projector, ensuring you get a bright image with rich colors even if not immersed in complete darkness. Screens are available in many sizes, with our experts guiding you on the best choice for your space. Choose a retractable screen if you want a multi-purpose environment where your display stays hidden when not in use. Acoustically transparent screens allow speakers to be placed directly behind the viewing surface, perfect for homeowners who want a clean design.

Custom Seating

Cozy up with the entire family with a custom home theater seating installation. Combine style and comfort with a wide array of models and fabric options from sleek leather loungers to plush recliners. Available in various colors and modular systems, it’s easy to find the right fit for your family. Choose materials, colors, and features like cup holders, tray tables, or reading lights. Clients from Lake of the Ozarks to Columbia trust our partnerships with premium furniture vendors and builders for seating that blends style and function into every design.

Star Ceilings

Add an otherworldly ambiance to your home theater design with star ceilings that make movies under the stars a reality year-round. Adjust the stars' colors and intensity for any occasion, and enjoy fiber-optic shooting stars that make your theater even more dynamic. Star ceilings also have a practical application in your theater in the Kansas City and St. Louis, MO, area! They provide better sound quality throughout the room since star ceilings also serve as acoustic treatments.
