Private cinemas, media rooms and whole-home audio for custom homes, with picture, sound, acoustics and controls planned together.
A dedicated theater works best when screen size, projection or display, speaker geometry, seating, acoustics, lighting and control are designed as one room system. Regent5 coordinates those decisions early, then handles installation, programming, calibration and commissioning so performance does not depend on equipment selection alone. Golf simulator rooms can be planned with the home's AV, lighting and network design.
Explore High-End Laser ProjectorsImmersive audio depends on room geometry, speaker placement, subwoofer strategy, amplification and acoustics. Regent5 designs Dolby Atmos and multichannel systems around the seating and room rather than a fixed speaker count, then calibrates levels, timing and bass response for consistent performance across the listening area.
Explore James LoudspeakerWhole-home AV can include distributed music, shared video sources, great-room systems, listening rooms and dedicated cinema. We plan speakers, displays, amplification, racks, network bandwidth and control together so the system is easy to use, serviceable and visually appropriate for the architecture.
Explore Smart Home AutomationSpeaker selection should follow the room, listening goals and finish requirements. Regent5 works with architectural in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, small-aperture and invisible solutions, subwoofers, distributed audio and high-performance two-channel systems, coordinating placement with ceilings, millwork and acoustics before finishes make changes difficult.
Regent5 system designs can incorporate Paradigm, MartinLogan, Anthem, James Loudspeaker and Kaleidescape where the room, performance goals and architecture call for those platforms.
Explore Invisible Speakers & Hidden AudioMedia rooms balance strong AV performance with everyday flexibility. Large displays or projection, surround sound, lighting scenes and simple control can support movies, sports, gaming and social use without turning a multipurpose room into a dedicated cinema.
Explore Kaleidescape Movie SystemsOutdoor AV requires weather-rated equipment plus properly planned power, networking, speaker coverage and control. Regent5 coordinates landscape audio, displays and entertainment areas with pools, patios, kitchens and site design so the outdoor system performs well without dominating the landscape.

Technology can be discreet without sacrificing performance. Hidden displays, motorized lifts, flush mounting, invisible speakers and architectural audio are coordinated with architects, interior designers, builders and millwork teams so service access and technical requirements are resolved before the details are built.
Explore Invisible Technology for Luxury HomesRegent5 coordinates performance, acoustics, architecture, control and network infrastructure so entertainment systems look intentional and remain simple to use.
Projection, screens, speakers, seating, acoustics and control are engineered as one dedicated room system.
Living spaces can deliver theater-level performance while preserving the architecture and everyday usability.
Whole-home music is planned around room use, speaker placement, amplification and simple source selection.
Invisible, small-aperture and custom speakers can be integrated with ceilings, walls and millwork.
Critical listening rooms are designed around speaker geometry, electronics, acoustics and room conditions.
Sources and displays are distributed over a managed infrastructure with the bandwidth required for current formats.
Outdoor speakers, displays and landscape audio are coordinated with power, networking, weather exposure and site design.
Speaker placement, room finishes and acoustic treatment are coordinated to improve performance without compromising design.
AV systems integrate with lighting, shades and control platforms for simple room scenes and one-touch operation.
Audio calibration, video setup, control programming, documentation and long-term service complete the system.
Where we work.
Regent5 designs and installs home theaters, whole-home audio and residential AV systems throughout Northern California, with primary project coverage in San Francisco (Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley and Russian Hill), Atherton, Menlo Park, Hillsborough and the wider Peninsula, plus San Jose and the South Bay, Marin, Napa and Sonoma and the Monterey Peninsula, including Carmel and Pebble Beach. Select engagements extend to Santa Barbara, the Los Angeles area, and Orange County.
Projectors are ideal when very large cinematic images are the priority and light can be controlled. Large-format televisions offer higher brightness, strong HDR and simpler daytime viewing. Room conditions and desired screen size should drive the choice.
Dolby Atmos adds height information to create a three-dimensional sound field. Speaker count depends on room size, seating and layout; common systems range from 5.1.2 to larger 7.1.4 or multi-subwoofer configurations.
A centralized or hybrid distributed-audio system can provide independent zones, shared sources and consistent control. Sonos and Bluesound can serve appropriate streaming and zone-control roles, while larger estates may use centralized amplification and architectural speakers integrated with Savant, Crestron or Control4. Network design, amplification, speaker placement and room-by-room listening goals should be coordinated together. Architectural in-ceiling, small-aperture, plaster-in and invisible speakers, including solutions such as James Loudspeaker, can minimize visual impact.
Regent5 is based in San Carlos and provides home theater and residential AV design, installation and service across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California. A first visit reviews the room, screen or display goals, speaker locations, acoustics, wiring, control and budget priorities; the Regent5 Showroom & Design Center is available by appointment for follow-up system and finish review.
Cost varies with room construction, projection or display size, speaker count, acoustics, seating, lighting control, equipment and finish level. A dedicated theater is best budgeted from performance goals and room design rather than a generic equipment package. The Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos is available by appointment to review room goals, finishes, speaker approaches and system scope before final specification.
Yes. Regent5 can assess an existing theater, media room or distributed-audio system, document the current equipment and wiring, troubleshoot performance or control issues, recalibrate where appropriate, and plan phased upgrades when components are obsolete or the original integrator is no longer available.
