When someone walks into Times Audio (https://timesaudio.in/), they already understand they’re not looking for a ₹1L setup. We don’t sell those. Every system we design starts from ₹10 lakh and above—without counting recliners, lighting, or interiors.
But there’s one thing I tell every client in Gurgaon, Delhi NCR, or South Delhi who walks into our showroom excited about their new Marantz receiver, Anthem processor, or Bowers & Wilkins speaker setup:
“None of this will sound right without acoustic treatment.”
This often comes as a surprise. People assume expensive electronics will automatically deliver great sound. But a ₹15L system in a poor-sounding room will often be outperformed by a ₹3L system in a well-treated space.
Let me explain why.
The Room Shapes the Sound
The moment sound leaves your speakers, it begins interacting with your walls, ceiling, floor, windows, and even furniture. Reflections, standing waves, bass booms, and echo all distort what you hear.
We’ve installed premium systems with REL subwoofers, Dali floorstanders, and Anthem ARC room correction—only to have the customer say:
“It sounds sharp… too boomy… something feels off.”
In every case, the issue wasn’t the electronics.
It was the untreated room.
₹10L+ Systems Deserve Proper Rooms
A ₹12L setup featuring Marantz and Bowers & Wilkins isn’t just about volume or clarity. It’s about immersion. You want to hear details that pull you into the scene—footsteps behind you, subtle dialogue, the texture in a cello string.
But none of that comes through if your room is working against you.
That’s why every project at Times Audio includes a discussion on room acoustics right from Day 1. We look at:
- Reflection control: Using panels to absorb early reflections from walls and ceiling.
- Bass management: Installing bass traps to reduce low-end buildup and boom.
- Diffusion: Softening echoes without making the room sound ‘dead’.
- Speaker and subwoofer placement: Ensuring sound energy spreads evenly.
Real Example: DLF Phase 2 Home Theatre
One of our recent projects involved a ₹22L home cinema system in DLF Phase 2, Gurgaon. The client chose Paradigm speakers, Anthem electronics, and dual REL subwoofers. Beautiful setup—but the initial room had a glass wall, bare ceiling, and granite flooring.
Even after calibration, the sound felt “harsh” and dialogue wasn’t clear.
After installing custom acoustic panels (fabric-finished to match interiors) and adding corner bass traps, the change was instant.
The client’s words: “Now it feels like a real theatre.”
Architects, Interior Designers—Let’s Plan Together
If you’re an architect or designer working on high-end homes in South Delhi, Noida, or Gurgaon—let’s talk early. Acoustic treatment doesn’t have to be ugly or last-minute. We’ve integrated panels behind curtains, inside ceiling coves, and even as artwork.
You design the mood. We’ll shape the sound.
It’s an Investment, Not an Add-On
Too often, acoustics are treated as a “later” item, or worse—skipped entirely. That’s like buying a Ferrari and driving it on a gravel road. Sound is 50% of the cinema experience. Without the right room, you’re not hearing what your system is truly capable of.
At Times Audio, we’re committed to delivering the full experience—not just selling boxes.
If you’re building or upgrading a premium home theatre in Gurgaon, Delhi NCR, or anywhere nearby, acoustic treatment is not optional. It’s essential.
Let’s get the sound right.
