Draper Acumen XL V – 189", 16:10 – 155102CD

Product Overview

The Draper Acumen XL V is a large-format, surface-mounted, tab-tensioned motorized projection screen built for auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and other large commercial venues. This 189" diagonal 16:10 model mounts to a wall or ceiling and delivers a permanently flat image using RF-welded tabs, making it a capable large-format projection screen where a big, wave-free surface is required. As a Series V screen it supports Draper's full viewing-surface lineup, including award-winning, 8K-ready TecVision, driven by a quiet low-voltage motor. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's seven-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Acumen XL V large-format projection screen extends the Acumen platform to large-venue image sizes while keeping a surface-mounted installation. Side tab-tensioning with durable RF-welded tabs holds the viewing surface flat and wave-free across a wide image, preserving accurate geometry for detailed content viewed from a distance. The reinforced roller assembly is enclosed in a contoured extruded-aluminum case measuring 9-1/4" high by 8-1/8" deep, finished in white powder coat as standard with black available, and a removable fascia provides access to the roller and motor for service. The image area is fully framed in black with a standard 12" (30 cm) black drop at the top of the viewing area. It ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch, with an LVC-IV motor option and 110 V or 220 V operation for integration with third-party control systems such as Crestron and Control4. The Acumen XL V accommodates image widths up to 18' (5.5 m), offers rear-projection surfaces, and supports Draper's complete surface range, including 8K-ready TecVision, with a 21:9 format also available. Pair it with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors and a bracket from our projector mounts and lifts collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large an image does the Acumen XL V support?

The Acumen XL V is Draper's large-venue Acumen model and accommodates image widths up to 18' (5.5 m). This 189" diagonal 16:10 configuration produces a 100" x 160" image area, suited to auditoriums and large assembly spaces.

Why choose a tab-tensioned screen at this size?

At large image widths, tab-tensioning with RF-welded tabs keeps the surface flat and free of waves, which preserves accurate image geometry when the audience is viewing detailed content from a distance.

Does the Acumen XL V require a recessed ceiling pocket?

No. It is a surface-mounted screen that installs onto a wall or ceiling using the included floating and ceiling suspension brackets, so no in-ceiling cavity is required.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

It works with any commercial front projector matched to its 189" 16:10 format and the throw distance of a large room. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Can the Acumen XL V integrate with an AV control system?

Yes. It ships with a built-in low-voltage controller and wall switch, with an LVC-IV motor option and control paths for third-party automation systems such as Crestron and Control4.
