Need advice from HVAC/home theater people.

I’m trying to cool a heavily soundproofed/acoustically treated basement home theater/listening room without ruining the aesthetics or introducing a loud portable AC setup.

Looking for something:

very quiet
premium/high-end
preferably minimal or hidden hose setup
good for projector + AV equipment heat
ideally with dehumidifier functionality too

I understand true AC units need ventilation, so I’m also open to clever low-profile venting ideas, split portable systems, or elegant airflow solutions that don’t require major construction.

Would especially love recommendations from people with:

home theaters
music studios
listening rooms
acoustic-treated basements

Price isn’t really the issue, noise and aesthetics are. thank you !
