Draper Profile+ 248" 2.35:1 ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V – Acoustically Transparent Fixed Frame Screen

Product Overview

The Draper Profile+ 248" acoustically transparent projection screen (part number 254277SC) delivers a 97" x 228" CinemaScope 2.35:1 image with a ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V viewing surface, allowing loudspeakers to be placed directly behind the screen. That combination makes this fixed frame projection screen a natural fit for houses of worship, auditoriums, and broadcast studios where audio and video need to share the same sightline. The Profile+ frame installs at under 2 inches deep with a borderless or slim bezel finish, giving commercial AV integrators a large-format, speaker-friendly canvas with minimal visible hardware.

Product Description

The SC designation on the 254277SC specifies Draper's ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V surface: a matt white, 1.0 gain projection surface with microscopic perforations that let sound pass through from loudspeakers mounted behind the screen. Hiding the left-center-right speaker array behind the image anchors dialogue and program audio to the picture, which is why acoustically transparent projection screens are standard practice in worship AV design, performance venues, and screening environments. NanoPerf perforations are small enough that the pattern stays invisible at normal viewing distances, preserving image quality across the full 248 inch diagonal. The screen builds on Draper's Profile+ platform: a lightweight fixed frame engineered for large sizes that finishes at less than 2" (51 mm) deep and can be ordered borderless for an edge-to-edge picture or with a 5/8" (16 mm) bezel trim. The viewing surface attaches with Draper's sliding hook-and-loop system, tensioning evenly across the frame for a flat projection plane. The screen ships unassembled so installation crews can move components through stairs, elevators, and corridors before assembling on site. Wall brackets are included as standard, and flown brackets are available from Draper on request for suspended installations above a platform or stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the SC suffix mean on this part number?
SC indicates the ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V acoustically transparent surface. It is the same Profile+ frame and 248" 2.35:1 geometry as the standard model, with a micro-perforated surface that passes sound from speakers placed behind it.

How far behind the screen should loudspeakers be placed?
Follow your loudspeaker manufacturer's guidance for acoustically transparent screens; integrators typically leave a small air gap between driver and surface and apply minor equalization to compensate for high-frequency loss through any perforated screen.

Will the perforations be visible to the audience?
NanoPerf perforations are microscopic and are not visible at normal commercial viewing distances, so the audience sees a continuous matt white image.

Can this screen be flown above a stage or platform?
Yes. The Profile+ supports wall-mount and flown installation. Wall brackets are included; request flown brackets from Draper for suspended rigging. Mounting fasteners are not included.

What is involved in assembly and installation?
The screen ships unassembled. Crews assemble the frame on site, attach the surface with the sliding hook-and-loop system, and mount the frame to the included wall brackets — a routine job for a commercial AV integration team.

Does it require any electrical or control connections?
No. As a fixed frame screen it has no motor or electronics, so there is nothing to wire into the control system and no maintenance points beyond routine surface care.

What warranty and support come with it?
Draper provides a 5-year warranty valid in the United States and Canada, and Creation Networks assists commercial buyers with surface selection, sizing, and post-sale support.
