Home Theater Installation in Tacoma — Experience Cinema at Home

Ivan Rivas • October 14, 2025

From waterfront residences in North Tacoma to beautiful homes in Proctor, Point Ruston, and Stadium District, more Tacoma homeowners are bringing movie night home with custom home theater installations. But this isn’t just about a big TV — today’s home theaters deliver cinematic picture, immersive audio, acoustic precision, and elegant design.



At Rivas Technology Group, we design and install high-performance home theaters in Tacoma that are built around your room, your lifestyle, and your expectations for sound and picture quality.

What Makes a Home Theater "Professional Grade"?



A true home theater is designed with engineering and emotion — it should feel powerful, immersive, and effortless to use. That comes down to four pillars:


Acoustic Design

  • Why it Matters? Reduces echo and distortion for cinema sound


Speaker Layout

  • Why it Matters? Surround Sound positioned for impact & clarity


Display Engineering

  • Why it Matters? The right screen size + seating distance


Smart Control

  • Why it Matters? One remote or touchscreen for everything

The Rivas Technology Group Approach


Every project starts with room analysis. Whether it’s a dedicated theater room or a media room conversion, we focus on:



✅ Screen size based on seating layout
✅ Dolby Atmos speaker design
✅ Subwoofer placement for balanced bass
✅ Hidden wiring and equipment location
✅ Elegant finishes that fit your home style
✅ Noise isolation and acoustic treatment
✅ Control system integration


Our goal? Deliver an experience equal to or better than a commercial cinema — without leaving home.



Tacoma’s Favorite Home Theater Styles

🎬 Dedicated Theater Rooms


For total immersion with custom seating, star-lit ceilings, acoustic panels, and 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos surround sound.


🎮 Media & Family Rooms


Designed for open floor plans with sleek soundbars, in-ceiling speakers, and hidden subwoofers.


🏡 Multi-Purpose Bonus Rooms & Loft Theaters


Perfect for gaming, movie nights, and sports — where performance meets casual comfort.


The Power of Dolby Atmos


If you’ve ever heard sound move above you in a theater, that’s Atmos. It creates 3D sound by using height speakers and precise channel mapping. We design Atmos layouts tailored to your room, including:


  • 5.1.2 – Entry-level Atmos cinema
  • 7.2.4 – Full cinematic performance
  • 9.2.6 – Reference-grade theater



Seamless Control with Smart Home Integration


Technology should feel simple — not overwhelming. That’s why we recommend Control4 home theater control. With one remote:


✅ Press “Movie” → lights dim, screen powers on, shades lower
✅ Control Apple TV, Kaleidescape, Blu-ray, Xbox, or PS5
✅ Adjust volume, lighting, and more — effortlessly


No more juggling five remotes. No more settings confusion.


Hidden Technology. Beautiful Design.


Great theaters don’t look like tech labs. We can hide equipment and wiring:


✅ In-wall and invisible speakers
✅ In-rack AVR and amplifier storage
✅ Acoustic panels disguised as artwork
✅ Motorized projector lifts
✅ ultra-short-throw projection for tight spaces



Your theater should look as beautiful as it sounds.
