Who We Are

Terry Montlick Laboratories LLC is  full-service acoustical engineering firm which designs and evaluates home theaters  worldwide. Most of our services can be performed electronically, without the need for a site visit. We rely on photographs, dimensions, and other data you provide. The more complete this information is, the better we can design a theater that meets your specific sonic needs.

Our work is based strictly on scientific acoustical analysis, not guesswork, a hand clap, or subjective listening to sound played in the room. Every home theater we do is custom, yet we routinely work on theaters with budgets of under $10,000 and over $500,000.
