EZRiser - Learn out how to build the best theater seating riser platform
From our many years of designing and installing great home theaters and seating products, we offer you the best tips for creating a fabulous theatrical riser platform to properly elevate rows of seating and to make the bass response in your room sound incredible - for only $50 - offering superb bass performance equal to using up to $1,000 worth of bass traps.
- USE STANDARD WOOD
CONSTRUCTION. We show you
how to use standard 2"x6" and 2"x8"' wood
studs, plus plywood decking and your own
carpet to create quality theater risers
that are very affordable to build on
site. By using 2"x6" studs, you can easily
create a 6" high riser and by using 2"x8"
studs, you can create 8" high risers.
For multiple tier risers, simply create
a large lower deck and then add a
smaller upper row riser on top of it to
create the upper level, or upper levels,
of the platform.
- ALWAYS BUILD AS FREE-STANDING.
We make the case for always building a
free-standing wood platform. This helps
insure that the riser does not sonically
react to being coupled with walls, plus
gives you the ability to make small
positional adjustments of the platform
in the room to insure that the seating
has the proper placement (or "Feng Shui")
in your room. Having the platform built
free-standing also allows for you to
easily add tactile sound transducers to
the platform at a later date, plus you
can re-carpet the riser if you ever
change the carpet in the room. This also
allows you to easily "re-purpose" the
room, in case you decide to locate your
home theater elsewhere in your home and
change the usage of your room area.
- BASS TRAP OPTION.
We explain how to turn your riser into a
sophisticated "bass trap" to even out
the bass frequency response in your room
- something people pay up to $1,000, if not
more for - simply by
filling the platform with affordable
standard wall insulation and drilling a
certain hole pattern in the top plate.
This costs so little, yet really
improves the sound in your room. It also
makes the platform feel much more solid
when you walk on it, as you don't hear
your footsteps reverberate inside of the
hollow platform. Also, a hollow riser
becomes
an unwanted speaker box in your room, adversely
affecting sound, with our deadened
riser design effectively eliminating this
unwanted hollow airspace
inside the platform.
- TACTILE SOUND PLATFORM.
We explain how to easily add tactile
transducers to your platform, so every
seat on the riser has the incredible
impact that only tactile sound can
provide. Not only does it give your
sound added emotional impact, but it
also allows you to turn down the bass
and even turn off your subwoofers at
night, so you can privately enjoy your
system without disturbing others in your
home. This is also perfect for
apartments, condos, townhouses and
business settings where you don't want
loud sounds to disturb others.
- TASK LIGHTING OPTION.
We explain how to easily add LED or rope
lighting around the top perimeter of the
riser by having your top plate extend an
additional inch to 1-1/2" around the top
edge, in order to have remote
controllable dimmable task lighting.
This also helps define where the steps
are on the riser, so your guests are
confident moving around in your home
theater setting.
