Draper Acumen E – 123", 16:10 – 151104SA

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen E is a surface-mounted, free-hanging motorized projection screen engineered for permanent commercial AV installations in conference rooms, boardrooms, and training spaces. This 123" diagonal 16:10 model pairs an elegantly contoured extruded-aluminum case with the acoustically transparent ClearSound White Weave XT900E surface, so loudspeakers can be positioned behind the image plane. As a Draper Series E screen it is free-hanging (non-tensioned) and mounts to a wall or ceiling using the included floating brackets, making it a clean fit for integrators specifying a discreet electric screen. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 7-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen E 123" 16:10 electric projection screen (Part # 151104SA) is built for heavy commercial use and finished in a white powder-coat that suits modern interiors, with black available on request. The streamlined case measures 7-1/8" high by 5-7/8" deep and includes a removable fascia for straightforward service access after installation. The screen operates on an instantly reversible tubular motor with an internal thermal overload protector, electric brake, and factory-set limits, and it ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch as standard. For AV system integration, the optional LVC-IV low-voltage controller lets the screen trigger from Crestron, AMX, Extron, and similar control systems, and a Quiet motor option is available for acoustically sensitive rooms. The acoustically transparent ClearSound White Weave XT900E surface carries a 0.9 gain and a 180° viewing cone, delivering uniform brightness across wide seating layouts while allowing center-channel and surround audio to pass through the weave. Floating wall and ceiling brackets are included as standard, giving the installer flexibility to surface-mount the case in a variety of commercial ceilings and wall conditions. Pair it with a unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Draper Acumen E tab-tensioned?

No. The Acumen E is a Draper Series E screen, which is free-hanging and non-tensioned. If your installation requires a tab-tensioned surface for a perfectly flat image, consider the Series V Acumen V or Acumen Recharge V instead.

How is the Acumen E mounted?

It is surface-mounted. The case includes floating wall and ceiling brackets as standard, so integrators can attach it to a wall or suspend it from a ceiling and center the screen regardless of screen size.

Does this screen integrate with Crestron, AMX, or Extron control systems?

Yes, with the optional LVC-IV low-voltage controller. The screen ships with a built-in controller and wall switch as standard, and the LVC-IV adds low-voltage trigger inputs for common commercial AV control systems.

Can loudspeakers be placed behind this screen?

Yes. This unit uses the acoustically transparent ClearSound White Weave XT900E surface, which allows center-channel and surround audio to pass through the weave, so speakers can sit behind the image plane in worship and auditorium installations.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

The Acumen E works with any commercial front projector matched to its 123" 16:10 format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

What warranty and support are included?

The Acumen E carries Draper's 7-year warranty (USA and Canada), supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help and post-sale support.
