Durban-first support for clients who want a room that sounds exciting, immersive, and easy to live with.

Strategy First

The Blueprint

For movie lovers who want to build or upgrade the room properly before spending money on the wrong gear.

Best for New rooms, renovations, or upgrades where you want a clear plan for screen size, speaker layout, seating, and wiring.
Pricing model Fixed consultation fee
Format Usually a 2-hour site visit plus a practical written recommendations report

Included

  • An on-site look at the room, your current equipment, and the kind of sound and picture you want
  • Clear advice on screen size, seating position, speaker placement, and bass setup
  • Guidance on wiring, acoustic treatment, and what to do now versus later
  • A plain-English next-step report you can use yourself or hand to your builder or installer

What this solves

  • Helps you avoid wasting money on equipment that does not suit the room
  • Gets you closer to that big-screen cinema feeling at home from the very start
  • Takes the guesswork out of creating a room that is exciting for both movies and music
Performance Upgrade

The Tuning

For systems that already have good equipment, but still do not sound as powerful, clear, or immersive as they should.

Best for Rooms with weak bass, muddy dialogue, harsh sound, poor balance, or a system that never quite comes alive with movies or music.
Pricing model Hourly rate with minimum booking
Format Half-day to full-day tuning sessions depending on room complexity

Included

  • Hands-on audio calibration that goes further than the basic AVR auto-setup
  • Subwoofer positioning, crossover tuning, and cleaner bass integration
  • Projector and screen alignment checks where the room includes video upgrades
  • A summary of what was adjusted and how it improved the listening experience

What this solves

  • Lets you hear what your equipment is actually capable of
  • Makes movies hit harder, dialogue sound clearer, and music feel more natural and engaging
  • Turns a frustrating system into something you genuinely want to sit down and listen to
End-to-End Oversight

The Director

For clients building a serious theatre room and wanting one person to keep the whole vision on track.

Best for Dedicated cinema rooms, premium media rooms, and major projects where the room, equipment, lighting, and user experience all need to work together.
Pricing model Retainer or percentage of build cost
Format Phased engagement from concept to commissioning

Included

  • Full room planning covering acoustics, layout, equipment choices, and how the room should feel to use
  • Contractor-ready guidance for cabling, power, lighting, control, and equipment placement
  • A joined-up plan so the room works beautifully for film nights, background music, and everyday use
  • Oversight during the build so the final room still matches the original vision

What this solves

  • Protects you from expensive mistakes and mixed messages from different trades and suppliers
  • Creates a real home cinema experience instead of just a room full of expensive boxes
  • Delivers a room that feels special every time you dim the lights and press play

Additional support for clients who want expert planning and buying advice from anywhere.

Remote Planning

The Virtual Blueprint

For clients outside Durban who want expert planning help before they buy equipment or start building.

Best for Early-stage room planning, remote renovations, and clients who want to get the layout, speaker positions, and wiring right from the start.

Best for Clients who want honest buying advice, South African stock guidance, and a clear upgrade path for movies, music, and future expansion.
