Prime Theatres designs, installs and calibrates custom home theatres across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. We have completed more than 170 installations since 2021 — from single-room retrofits in Tarneit to dedicated cinemas planned into new builds in Brighton.
We are not a retailer who also installs. We design the room first, then specify equipment to suit it. Every system is professionally calibrated before we hand it over.
Complete packages start from $11,585, fully installed. See all packages and pricing

What a Home Theatre Installation Includes
- Room design — seating positions, screen size, speaker placement and sightlines calculated for your actual room
- 4K projector — BenQ, Epson or JVC, specified to your room throw distance and ambient light
- Acoustic-transparent screen — 130″ to 150″, so the centre speaker sits behind the screen where it belongs
- AV receiver — Denon or Onkyo, sized to the speaker count and room volume
- Dolby Atmos speakers — Monitor Audio in-wall and in-ceiling, plaster-cut and flush finished
- Subwoofer — SVS, positioned and phase-aligned to the room
- All cabling and mounts — HDMI 2.1 certified cable, heavy-duty projector mount, every accessory
- Full plaster-cut installation — we cut, mount, patch and finish
- Dolby Atmos calibration — measured and tuned, not left on factory defaults
How Much Does a Home Theatre Cost in Melbourne?
Most Melbourne installers will not publish a price. We do.

| Dune | $17,563 | Reference 9.2 Dolby Atmos |

Every price includes equipment, design, full installation and calibration. No hidden line items, no “contact us for pricing”.
Custom builds outside these packages are quoted individually — dedicated cinema rooms with tiered seating, acoustic treatment and starlight ceilings typically run higher. View full package specifications
Our Installation Process
1. Free In-Home Consultation
We come to you. We measure the room, discuss how your family actually watches, and talk through what is realistic for your budget. No showroom pressure, no obligation.
2. Room Design
We plan screen size, seating distance, speaker positions and Atmos layout around your room dimensions and constraints — not a template.
3. Clear Quote
You get an itemised quote with the equipment specified. You know what you are paying for before anything is ordered.
4. Installation
Our install team handles cabling, plaster cuts, mounting and finishing. Most single-room installs take one to two days.
5. Calibration and Handover
We measure and tune the system — speaker distances, levels, crossover points, projector colour. Then we show you how to use it.
Types of Home Theatre We Build
Dedicated Cinema Rooms
A purpose-built room with controlled lighting, acoustic treatment, tiered seating and a starlight ceiling. The full experience, and the most rewarding to build.
Media Rooms
A multi-purpose living space that doubles as a theatre. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers keep it clean; the screen drops or the projector fires at a fixed screen.
New Build Pre-Wire
The cheapest time to build a home theatre is before the plaster goes on. If you are building, we work with your builder to run cabling and position speakers during construction.
Retrofits
Existing room, existing plaster. We cut, run cable and patch — you would never know the walls were opened.
Starlight Ceilings
Fibre-optic starlight ceilings are our signature. Real twinkling starfields built into the ceiling — not stick-on panels — with custom star patterns, fully dimmable and app-controlled. We fit them into new builds and retrofit them into existing theatre rooms. See our starlight ceilings

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a home theatre installation take?
Most single-room installations take one to two days on site. Dedicated cinema builds with acoustic treatment and starlight ceilings take longer, and we will give you a timeline with your quote.
Do I need a dedicated room?
No. We build plenty of media rooms in living spaces using in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. A dedicated room gives the best result, but it is not a requirement.
Can you install into an existing room?
Yes. Retrofits are a large part of what we do. We cut, run cable, mount and patch so the finish is clean.
Do you work with builders?
Yes. Pre-wiring during construction is cheaper and gives a better result. We coordinate directly with your builder.
Do you service regional Victoria?
Yes — Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and surrounding areas.
