The Design Service Program settles seating, sightlines, and finishes in drawings and renderings first. Star ceilings are made to order for the room.

Frequently Asked

CinemaTech Questions

CinemaTech is a family-owned maker of luxury home theater seating, founded in Dallas in 1998, that also provides acoustic treatment and theater design. Its first seat, the Valentino, is still in the line, alongside the patented Acoustic Room System and a Design Service Program for private cinemas and media rooms.

Yes. CinemaTech is the brand Cave Group specifies for seating, acoustic treatment, and theater interiors in dedicated cinemas and media rooms. We engineer and install the projection, audio, lighting, shading, and control around it, and coordinate the room with the architect, interior designer, and builder across the New York metro, the Hamptons, and North Jersey.

CinemaTech's Design Service Program plans the room: seating layout, risers, sightlines, acoustic treatment, and materials, delivered as AutoCAD drawings and photorealistic renderings. Cave Group is the AV integrator on the project team: projection or display, audio processing and speakers, Kaleidescape and streaming sources, Crestron control, and Lutron lighting and shades, installed, calibrated, and supported after handover.

It is CinemaTech's acoustic treatment for theaters and media rooms: absorption panels and diffusers placed to an acoustic model of the room, held in a fabric retainer 1.25 inches deep, and finished in acoustically transparent fabric so the treatment disappears into the walls. CinemaTech states that its panels perform down to 100 Hz.

CinemaTech has showrooms in New York, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, and Los Angeles. The New York showroom is at 599 11th Avenue, 5th Floor, in Manhattan, and visits are by appointment. Tell us about your project and we can point you to the seats and materials worth trying for your room.
