This year Mario Williams signed a $100-million megadeal with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, so it makes sense that the star defensive end would go all out when it came to designing his home theater. The custom electronics (CE) pros at Audio Advice in Raleigh, N.C., had the luxury of incorporating the equipment into a partially finished space in the basement of Williams’ 11,000-square-foot Raleigh home.
The DPI Titan was the ideal choice of projector for this 24-foot-long room, says Audio Advice’s Randy Cribb, due to its ability to “throw” images long distances. To maintain the clean aesthetic of the room design, Audio Advice mounted the projector on the other side of the back wall, which meant images would need to travel even farther than 24 feet. That was no problem for the Titan 1080p-250, which is engineered to transmit images onto a screen as far away as 65 feet. And thanks to the incorporation of an anamorphic lens, the projector is able to reproduce images in a superwide CinemaScope format—which would fit perfectly on the 138-inch Stewart Filmscreen chosen for the space. The projector was placed on a 7-foot-high wooden platform built specifically for the project; images shine through specialty projection glass, which was fitted into a window in the back wall of the theater.
