Da-Lite 14177 - Tensioned Professional Electrol 135" x 216"

Product Overview

The Da-Lite 14177 Tensioned Professional Electrol is a large-format ceiling-recessed electric projection screen with a 135" x 216" viewing area designed for commercial conference rooms, auditoriums, and large meeting spaces. The wooden housing provides a premium aesthetic appropriate for executive boardrooms and high-end commercial interiors where a steel case would not meet the design standard. The TruGuide tensioning system maintains a flat image surface suitable for 4K and UHD projection at this format size. Low-voltage motor control integrates with commercial AV control systems.

Product Description

The Da-Lite 14177 Tensioned Professional Electrol is built for large-scale commercial AV installations requiring a premium housing finish. The 135" x 216" viewing area accommodates large auditoriums, boardrooms, and training facilities where extended viewing distances require a proportionally large image. The wooden case provides a polished appearance suitable for executive conference spaces, houses of worship, and high-end multi-purpose rooms where the screen housing is visible and must match an architectural finish standard. The TruGuide tensioning system applies consistent lateral tension across the full 216" width, maintaining the flat surface required for edge-to-edge focus uniformity with 4K or UHD projectors. The ceiling-recessed installation keeps the housing concealed above the ceiling plane when not in deployment, with a closure mechanism for a clean ceiling finish. Low-voltage motor control provides dry contact trigger compatibility with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and other commercial AV control platforms. IR and RF remotes are included for standalone operation. This unit is manufactured in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the Tensioned Professional Electrol different from the Tensioned Advantage Electrol?

A: The Professional Electrol series uses a wooden housing, providing a premium aesthetic for executive and architectural installations where a steel case does not meet the design standard. The Advantage Electrol uses a steel case more appropriate for standard commercial AV installations.

Q: What surface options are available for the 14177?

A: The Tensioned Professional Electrol platform supports multiple Da-Lite surfaces. Contact Creation Networks to confirm available surface options for the 135" x 216" housing.

Q: What ceiling depth is required for installation?

A: The large format 135" x 216" screen requires significant plenum depth. Consult Da-Lite's rough-in documentation for exact housing dimensions before planning the ceiling opening.

Q: Does the wooden case affect the motor or control system compatibility?

A: No. The wooden housing does not affect motor or control system functionality. Low-voltage dry contact trigger compatibility with Crestron, AMX, and Extron is the same as other Professional Electrol models.
