A Man-Cave Home Theater Makeover

Inside a man-cave in Portugal, industrial engineer Pedro Pereira built a Home Theater that blends engineering precision, acoustic performance, and true DIY spirit. With Vicoustic Team’s support, Pedro turned a small, challenging room into a cinematic space.

The installation process became a part of the story. For Pedro, what stood out was “Your products aren’t only beautiful and high‑quality, they’re also ‘easy’ to install… and that helps a lot!”. 

“I was lucky to receive very personalized and close support from the Vicoustic team. I have to highlight César in particular, who went above and beyond with his support. It really shows how much Vicoustic understands the importance of Customer Experience! Great team!”

When it came to selecting products, Pedro admits that being an engineer made him particularly sensitive to craftsmanship and functionality. As he explored the Vicoustic catalog, he found more than just visually striking panels “They’re not just ‘beautiful products’. They’re highly effective, and they manage to beautify a space, something that’s not easy to achieve in acoustics”. One that really stood out, the Flexi Wave Ultra: “I’m an unconditional fan of the Flexi Wave Ultra”.

Acoustically, the room posed real challenges. The solution came through a carefully designed acoustic treatment plan. Wall panels, including Cinema Round Premium, Flexi Wave Ultra, and VicPattern Ultra Wavewood MKII, addressed early reflections, while ceiling modules, Multifuser DC3 and Cinema Round Premium, delivered the biggest impact. In addition, VicTotem Ultra VMT units were placed in two corners to refine the low-frequency response and optimize the overall sound.

“It created an acoustic miracle. It gives the illusion of a space much larger than reality"

Pedro found Vicoustic almost by chance, while exploring ways to improve the sound in his space, but once he discovered the brand, the decision was easy: “The quality, the design, and the fact that it’s a Portuguese brand did the rest”.

“I’m very proud of this space and proud that we have this level of quality in Portugal.”
