We were particularly impressed this year by a challenging project delivered with great success… It combines two projection systems on the one screen – firstly a high-level 4K home cinema projector for the delivery of movies, but also a second system using a commercial projector fitted with a short-throw lens in order to achieve an image across the entire width and height of the room, to create an ‘art wall’, a full seven-metre-wide feature wall to show projected art.
No expense was spared crafting this entertainers’ home, which boasts a multi award-winning home cinema with state-of-the-art fittings and equipment, in a custom design by David Moseley, Director of Wavetrain Cinemas, known as the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Cinema.

But a secondary benefit was what I call an ‘art wall’ – something I thought would really enhance the space, if it was technically possible.”
Picture those allegedly 4D rides you’ve been on in amusement parks, where the seats throw you around like a mechanical bull. Now forget them entirely, because they are nothing like the incredible, immersive D-Box motion chairs you can have installed in your home cinema, according to local expert installer David Moseley. “As soon as you talk about ‘motion’, people go…
Wavetrain Cinemas joined with David Leisk Electronics to effect this transformation from humble basement to state-of-the-art cinema. How many homes have an unused room? A ‘spare’ room, used for storage, or a kids’ rumpus room for kids that have grown and left home? Here’s a fine example of what can be achieved in such a space — this unused storage…
It was all change at the CEDIA Awards this year — entries for the finest custom installation projects in Australia, New Zealand and the wider Asia-Pacific region were all submitted through the U.S. head office of CEDIA, where they were judged by a committee of U.S. luminaries before the winners were announced at a local CEDIA event in Melbourne, held…
Enter the Matrix. The owners of this home cinema are big sci-fi fans, and chose to reference The Matrix and Cube in this impressive eight-seater Wavetrain design. Before he opens the door to this home cinema, the owner uses the Control4 app on his smartphone to select a specific lighting scene inside. Visitors enter to walls of Matrix-style digital rain,…
Top-quality equipment and the highest standards of Australian home cinema design deliver this stunning seven-seater theatre with an emphasis on music. The owner of this impressive home cinema thoroughly enjoys his movies, but his real passion — as you might guess from the decorations — is watching concerts. And given his preference for classic rock (we note the image of…
