Home Theater Assistant [HTA] Designer Lite is a basic iTunes utility app that allows you to determine optimal positions for seating, speaker placement, and screen size in your home theater or media room. Using industry formulas from the varying visual and auditory disciplines, HTA Designer Lite allows you to set up your room like the pros! By entering your room dimensions, HTA Designer Lite will display seating positions, viewing screen size, and speaker placement. Additionally, acoustical data such as room resonance modes specific to your room are revealed.

Three simple room measurements – that’s all HTA Designer Lite requires to provide basic valuable setup information for your home theater!

Enter Room Dimensions > Select Seated Position > Place Room Speakers

Designer Lite (from the Home Theater Assistant [HTA] series) is recommended for people who enjoy movie entertainment in the comfort of their own home. It is also the perfect app for making those buying decisions regarding television size. By knowing what theater screen size is optimal for your room, you can make a well informed high-definition display size selection.

• Mitigate your room’s acoustical standing waves by proper placement of your seats, sofa, or beanbags to enhance your entertainment experience!
