New Technology Maximizes Home-Theater Experience

January 9, 2008--A North Carolina company has taken the home-theater listening experience to another level through a new technology that transforms the average living room into a high-end acoustical experience, reproducing movie soundtracks the way directors intended their action to be heard.

Making its debut at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show, “My Theater Acoustic Panels” from United Plastics Corp. of Mt. Airy, N.C. improves speaker sound quality by reducing reflective sound waves that bounce off hard surfaces like walls, floors, and tables. Reflective sound distorts the true sound frequencies emitted from the speakers, greatly reducing sound quality. These innovative acoustic panels improve speaker sounds, creating a rich listening experience.

Home-theaters are growing exponentially as movie-lovers convert their living and recreation rooms into mini-cinemas with widescreen television and surround sound action for a true cinema experience. As the trend matures, consumers are becoming more sophisticated in their choices of high-end audio equipment as well, making substantial investments in multi-channel speaker systems. My Theater Acoustic Panels are designed for discriminating audiophiles who want to take full advantage of their audio systems. “We enhance the customer’s listening lifestyle by applying industrial technology used in a better way for their homes,” said Nick Antonecchia, President and CEO of United Plastics.

Home-theater enthusiasts will find installation of My Theater Acoustic Panels to be easy too. Once the proper location is chosen, usually at ear level and directly behind or in front of the listener, a hanger is put in place, allowing the panel to be placed on the wall. Panels may also be added on side walls for further sound quality improvement. The panels are offered in four different colors to complement any room. The home-theater can also be finished with My Theater Frames, which are sold separately.

The 60-year old company which has served the automotive and building industries is entering the home consumer market with these fine acoustic panels and three additional new products that are also making their debut at the Consumer Electronics Show—My Theater Acoustic Professional Panels which offer premium absorption and sound quality; My Theater Walls, a first of its kind sound absorbing wall covering; and dB-3 Sound, Air & Moisture Barrier for new home installation. dB-3 is designed to provide a high quality sub-surface wall and floor acoustical treatment that promotes noise reduction, energy efficiency, and acts as a moisture barrier.
