Draper Access E – 165", 16:10 – 139042SAQ

Product Overview

The Draper Access E is a ceiling-recessed, motorized projection screen engineered for commercial AV installations that require a fully concealed image surface and a finished ceiling line. This 165" diagonal 16:10 model is configured with Draper's quiet motor and a free-hanging viewing surface that retracts completely into its recessed case when not in use, making it a strong fit for large boardrooms, conference rooms, and training spaces presenting widescreen content. As a ceiling-recessed projection screen, it pairs quiet motorized operation with a trim-flange case that integrates into drywall or T-bar ceilings. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Access E ceiling-recessed projection screen is specified by integrators who need a concealed, motorized front-projection surface in permanent commercial rooms. This unit is configured with a quiet motor and the ClearSound White Weave XT900E surface, an acoustically transparent woven surface that allows loudspeakers to be positioned behind the screen, in a 165" 16:10 format on a 110 V supply. The quiet motor reduces operating noise during deployment and retraction, which is valuable in boardrooms and worship spaces where the screen is cycled during live audio. Unlike a tab-tensioned screen, the Access E is a free-hanging design: surface flatness is maintained by the weight of the viewing surface and the bottom dowel, keeping the case shallow and the mechanism simple to service. The steel case includes a detachable bottom access panel, sliding brackets on top of and inside the case for alignment, and adjustable hoisting brackets that speed lifting during installation. Quick-connect wiring lets the case be installed early in the building phase and the screen added later to reduce jobsite damage. Quiet low-voltage and 220 V motor options and built-in low-voltage or video-interface controls are available for control-system integration. Pair it with a matched unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the quiet motor option provide?

The quiet motor lowers operating noise as the screen deploys and retracts, which is useful in boardrooms, worship spaces, and studios where the screen is cycled during live audio or recording.

Is the Access E a tab-tensioned screen?

No. The Access E is a free-hanging (non-tensioned) screen. Surface flatness is maintained by the weight of the viewing surface and the bottom dowel. If you require tab-tensioning for a large image, consider the Series V models such as the Access V or Access XL V.

How is the Access E installed?

It is a ceiling-recessed screen. The case is set into a ceiling pocket and finished with a trim flange, using sliding and hoisting brackets for alignment. Quick-connect wiring lets the case be installed during construction and the screen added later.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

The Access E works with any commercial front projector matched to its 165" 16:10 format and the room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Why is the ClearSound White Weave XT900E surface used?

ClearSound White Weave XT900E is an acoustically transparent woven surface, allowing loudspeakers to be placed directly behind the screen. This keeps audio anchored to the image in worship spaces, auditoriums, and meeting rooms.

What warranty and support are included?

The Access E carries Draper's 5-year warranty, supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help and post-sale support.
