AiOhc Home Cinema Configurator: Everything You Need to Know.

We're proud to offer you the first truly complete Home Cinema design tool available online.
Here's everything you need to know about it.
Why we built it, and what it means for you and your Home Cinema project.

If you're reading this, it's probably not by chance.
You're looking for a complete solution that gives you the peace of mind to fully enjoy your Home Cinema once it's installed.
You also want it to look great (and ideally be discreet) while delivering a stunning audio-visual experience.

Until recently, the Home Cinema world was largely dominated by enthusiasts.
The audio-video geeks who gather at trade shows and forums to share their passion with like-minded people.

The thing is — you're not a geek.

You love films, music, video games, or sport, but you're not particularly interested in the technology behind enjoying all that content.

The Paradox

What if I asked you to personally plan and install your own swimming pool?

Would that seem risky?

Well, it's the same with Home Cinema.
Because the whole complexity lies in the fact that it's an assembly of different components from different sources —
all expected to work together seamlessly.

As a result, many people end up trawling the internet and reading guides on forums.
The problem is that these guides are written by professional writers, not Home Cinema professionals.
That's why their articles tend to feel so theoretical and impossible to apply to a real-world project. And you can't really blame those online retailers for that.

Their job is to sell products, not to guide you through a specific project.

That's the paradox.
There are specialist audio/video websites out there, but they're primarily aimed at experts.
Not at pragmatists.
Those who don't know — and don't particularly want to know — the technical details.
They just want to dream of a top-of-the-range Home Cinema.

Put that way, it might seem obvious.
But there's a reason we're the only ones with a fully global and integrated approach.

The AV Concept Products Difference

You've got the idea — handling your own Home Cinema is closer to DIY than anything else.
And what's worse, we've visited installations where there was sometimes excellent equipment.

Unfortunately, it had been installed badly.
In some cases the sound came out of the speakers wrong, in others not at all — and sometimes it came out of the projector (?).
In other installations, the projector had been mounted upside down.
The result: a completely distorted image.

What all these installations had in common was that the client had tried to go it alone —
following online guides or advice from salespeople who had never once installed a Home Cinema in their lives.

At AV Concept Products, we design our own products.
We support our clients through installation and carry out the installation ourselves on certain projects.

And because we have complete command of the entire value chain,
we've been able to condense the key information, tips, and specifications — for both installer and user alike.

We then use digital tools to share that knowledge.
Rather than passing information on individually to each client, we developed the AiOhc Home Cinema configurator.

So if you want to manage your installation on your own — go for it.
But draw on the expertise of specialists to make your Home Cinema project a success.

The First Home Cinema Design Tool

When you use the AiOhc Home Cinema configurator, you benefit from 15 years of audio-video expertise.
Because in addition to offering you tried-and-tested solution combinations,
you receive all the data you actually need to plan your project properly.

At a glance, you can see for example how much clearance to allow in the false ceiling to retract your projector, and at what distance to position it.

Before, to do the same thing, you had to:

• Track down the projector's technical data sheet.
• Track down the lift's technical data sheet.
• Calculate the ceiling height (hoping you didn't make a mistake),
• Then visit another site to calculate the projection distance. 

All of this is now consolidated in one place and adjustable in real time on the AiOhc Configurator.

Even better: once your Home Cinema configuration has been validated and submitted, we get in touch with you to guide you, advise you, and ask the questions you may not have thought to ask yourself yet.

You get the full benefit of our know-how and expertise — precisely, concisely, and tailored to you.

What's Next?

We currently offer six starting configurations that correspond to different performance levels for a Home Cinema installation.
Our ambition is to build a tool that can also serve audio-video integrators, architects, interior designers, and electricians — giving everyone a complete Home Cinema design tool for any type of project.

Because if AiOhc helps you configure a Home Cinema today, tomorrow it will let you design a conference room or lecture hall in just a few moments.
Allowing every trade to focus on their own expertise —
and stop losing time on the audio-video installation details that often represent just a small part of their broader project.

For now, AiOhc is a free, open-access Home Cinema design tool —
available to everyone.
So whether you're a professional or a private individual, if you're planning your Home Cinema installation right now, don't miss the opportunity to make the most of this powerful tool.
You'll save time, money, and wasted energy.
And if you have colleagues or friends in the same situation, share the link with them — they'll thank you for it 🙂
