Draper Acumen E – 113", 16:10 – 151203SAQ

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen E is a surface-mounted, free-hanging motorized projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations. This 113" diagonal 16:10 widescreen model pairs the ClearSound White Weave XT900E acoustically transparent surface with Draper's Quiet motor option, making it a clean fit for conference rooms, boardrooms, and training rooms that place loudspeakers behind the image plane. As a 16:10 acoustically transparent motorized screen, it delivers a uniformly bright picture across a 180° viewing cone with 0.9 gain. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen E surface-mounted motorized screen is engineered for integrators specifying a durable, low-profile electric screen for heavy commercial use. The screen retracts into a streamlined extruded-aluminum case measuring 7-1/8" high by 5-7/8" deep, finished in white powder coat as standard, so it blends into modern interiors when not in use. Floating wall and ceiling brackets are included as standard, allowing the case to be positioned on the wall or ceiling and adjusted during installation, and the removable fascia simplifies long-term service. This unit is configured with Draper's Quiet motor option for reduced operating noise in acoustically sensitive rooms, and it is instantly reversible with an internal thermal overload protector and electric brake with factory-set limits. This 220 V unit ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch, and it integrates with third-party control systems for automated boardroom and conference room deployments. The ClearSound White Weave XT900E surface is an acoustically transparent woven material with over 76,000 microscopic openings per square foot, letting audio from behind-screen loudspeakers pass through with an average insertion loss of only 0.7 dB. The 113" diagonal 16:10 format provides a 60" x 96" viewable image area well suited to widescreen presentation content, data, and video in commercial meeting spaces. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.
