Draper Acumen E – 117", CinemaScope – 151212SAQ

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen E is a surface-mounted, motorized projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations that need clean aesthetics and quiet, one-touch operation. This 117" diagonal CinemaScope (2.39:1) model pairs a free-hanging viewing surface with Draper's Quiet motor, making it well suited as a wide motorized projection screen for boardrooms, screening-style meeting rooms, and houses of worship where reduced motor noise matters. Floating wall and ceiling brackets and a built-in low-voltage controller streamline installation and AV system integration. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's standard warranty.

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. This configuration uses Draper's Quiet motor to reduce operating noise, 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 117" CinemaScope surface hangs free from the roller as a non-tensioned image plane suited to 2.39:1 widescreen content, with a standard black masking drop above the image area. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Quiet motor option provide?

This configuration (SKU 151212SAQ) specifies Draper's Quiet motor, which reduces the audible noise of the screen during raise and lower. It is a good choice for boardrooms and worship spaces where the screen operates during a session.

Is the Acumen E ceiling-recessed or surface-mounted?

The Acumen E is surface-mounted. It ships with floating wall and ceiling brackets so the case can be mounted directly to a wall or ceiling, rather than recessed into a ceiling pocket.

What projectors and mounts are compatible with this 117" CinemaScope screen?

It works with any commercial front projector matched to its 117" 2.39:1 format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Is the viewing surface tensioned?

No. The Acumen E uses a free-hanging, non-tensioned surface that hangs flat from the roller. If you require a tab-tensioned surface, ask Creation Networks about the Acumen V series.

Which viewing surfaces are available?

The Acumen E is offered with Draper's OptiView surfaces, including Matt White XT1000E, Contrast Grey XH800E, ClearSound White Weave XT900E, and Chroma Key Green. Creation Networks can help match a surface to your room's ambient light and projector.
