About DNA

BACKGROUND

DNA Cinemas was formed due to the high level of interest we received for creating the ultimate cinema experience. We focus on producing a dedicated high-end home cinema installation that delivers the ultimate movie viewing experience, unmatched by anything currently on the market.

Our Chief Designer, Chris Adair, has 35+ years experience in designing and building home cinema screening rooms across the globe, and is one of two cinema designers in the world who has an acoustics degree. The level of excellence we can now achieve, by incorporating high end design with the best technology available brought together by highly skilled technicians, delivers an unparalleled entertainment experience.

THE DNA DIFFERENCE

The goosebumps of a truly immersive experience are about how the sound and vision elements are designed and integrated, not just from the standard of the equipment.

We understand the advantages for clients getting advice at the earliest concept stage of projects to help express and define the vision of the client - often before there is any commitment from the client. It could be as simple as to help decide ideal proportions for a media room, this process correctly made at the start can save an incredible amount of redrafting time further down the line.

DNA Cinemas was set up by hugely experienced industry professionals, dedicated to giving you the greatest bespoke home cinema experience available anywhere in the world. “

Quite simply, DNA Cinemas is the ultimate provider of dedicated home cinema design and installation...

If you can imagine it, we can provide it.

Chris decided to sell cornflake to further his knowledge, acquiring an Acoustics and Noise Control degree from London South Bank University in 2015, his project thesis in modelling Home Cinema Acoustics won special merit.
