Discontinued – Draper Acumen E – 90", CinemaScope – 151215EC

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen E is a surface-mounted, motorized projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations that need clean aesthetics and one-touch operation. This 90" diagonal CinemaScope (2.39:1) configuration houses a free-hanging viewing surface in a contoured extruded-aluminum case, making it a practical motorized projection screen for boardrooms, conference rooms, and house-of-worship spaces where front projection is dropped from a wall or ceiling. Floating wall and ceiling brackets and a built-in low-voltage controller streamline installation and integration. Note that this 90" CinemaScope variant (SKU 151215EC) is a discontinued Acumen E configuration; remaining availability is limited, and Creation Networks can advise on current-production Acumen E alternatives.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen E electric projection screen is engineered for integrators specifying a surface-mounted motorized screen with a finished appearance in modern interiors. The tube motor is housed inside the roller, and the unit ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch as standard, so the screen raises and lowers with a single command and integrates with common third-party control systems. The extruded aluminum case measures 7-1/8" high x 5-7/8" deep and carries a white powder-coat finish, with black available on request to match ceiling and wall treatments. Because the screen is surface-mounted rather than ceiling-recessed, floating wall and ceiling brackets are included so the case can be positioned precisely during a commercial deployment, while the removable fascia simplifies long-term service. The screen hangs free from the roller as a non-tensioned surface, and a black masking drop above the image area is standard depending on screen size. The Acumen E is offered with Draper's OptiView viewing surfaces, letting a designer match gain and ambient-light behavior to the room. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system. Browse the full Draper projection screen lineup or the broader projection screens range for alternate sizes, formats, and surfaces.
