When a private theatre disappears into elegant architecture yet still delivers chest-thumping explosions and pin-sharp dialogue, odds are there’s serious engineering hiding behind the velvet. That calibre of work is exactly why HARMAN/JBL Synthesis has awarded BMC Audio Visual its coveted JBL Synthesis Certified Dealer & Calibrator status—the only one in Melbourne. The certification reflects that our team can apply factory-approved design tools and calibration methods backed by JBL Synthesis's Engineers to further enhance the cinemas we already build for new homeowners, builders and architects.
1. A Track Record That Earned the Badge
BMC Audio Visual has spent nearly 20 years crafting reference cinemas—from inner-city penthouses with space-saving micro-subs to sprawling, tiered IMAX-scale rooms in coastal estates. Our in-house design team handles:
- Acoustic modelling and noise isolation (room-within-room, double-stud framing, resilience clips).
- System geometry & sightline design (scope screens, star ceilings, riser heights).
- Full-stack integration—lighting, shading, HVAC and access control under a single app or keypad.
Breathtaking cinema audio doesn’t happen by accident; it’s engineered. That’s why BMC Audio Visual is proud to announce our appointment as Melbourne’s JBL Synthesis Certified Dealer & Calibrator. For anyone planning a new-build, renovation, or luxury apartment fit-out, this certification is more than a badge on a brochure—it’s a practical advantage that keeps budgets under control, timelines tighter, and end-results nothing short of spectacular.
2. Why Homeowners Benefit
Headache Without Certification | BMC AV + JBL Synthesis Solution |
---|---|
Endless forum guesswork on speaker models | One cohesive ecosystem: speakers, DSP, amps designed as a set. |
Seat-to-seat boominess or dialogue drop-outs | Certified ARCOS / Dirac Live calibration corrects bass and locks dialogue to every seat. |
Upgrade anxiety | Future-proof roadmap—add Atmos top layers or extra subs later without replacing the core electronics. |
Resale queries | Documented “JBL Synthesis Certified” commissioning report adds credibility to real-estate listings. |
3. Why Builders Love It
- One-Sheet MEP Drawings – Conduit runs, back-box sizes, and heat loads handed over before framing.
- Reduced Variations – Fixed-scope quotation based on certified design = fewer change-orders.
- Fast Commissioning – Pre-wired terminations and laser-guided speaker alignment finish the room in hours, not days.
4. Why Architects & Interior Designers Breathe Easier
- Slim In-Wall / Ceiling Options – Speaker grilles paint or fabric-match to décor; visible boxes vanish. Speakers are designed to be heard and not seen.
- Revit / ArchiCAD Blocks – Plug-and-play speaker and sub models drop into drawings—no ad-hoc sizing on site.
- Acoustic Panels as Décor – Fabric walls double as bass traps and diffuser arrays, keeping aesthetics intact.
5. The Certified Workflow in Six Steps
- Discovery – Goals, seating, style brief.
- JBL Synthesis Design Suite – Predict SPL, bass distribution, amplifier headroom.
- Architect & Builder Coordination – Issue CAD for studs, ventilation, cable trays.
- Dry-Fit & Cable Verification – Pre-plaster inspection avoids hidden surprises.
- Installation & ARCOS/Dirac Calibration – BMC AV engineers dial the system to ±1 dB across seats.
- Handover & Scene Programming – One keypad or app labelled Movie, Music, Game, All-Off.
6. Hear the Proof
Our JBL Synthesis Melbourne showroom in Burwood features a 9.4.6 JBL Synthesis certified system in a purpose-built room we designed, framed and calibrated. A single button toggles “pre-calibration” vs “certified” so you can hear why the badge—and decades of BMC expertise—matter.
