Draper Premier – 104 1/4", 21:9 Ultrawide – 101813SCU

Product Overview

The Draper Premier is a tab-tensioned, motorized electric projection screen built for permanent commercial AV installations, and this configuration pairs a 104 1/4" diagonal 21:9 ultrawide image with the acoustically transparent ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V surface. Because the surface passes audio from loudspeakers positioned behind the screen, it is a clean fit for immersive rooms, screening rooms, and auditoriums that need front-projected ultrawide image with centered audio on the same plane. As an acoustically transparent 21:9 projection screen, it delivers a full 180° viewing cone with 1.0 gain and accurate color, tab-tensioned flat inside a black pentagonal steel case. All units ship through Creation Networks at authorized-dealer pricing with Draper's 5-year warranty.

Product Description

The Draper Premier acoustically transparent projection screen in this configuration (SKU 101813SCU) uses the ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V surface, whose microscopic perforation pattern lets sound from center and surround loudspeakers travel through the screen while maintaining image quality. Draper recommends seating viewers at least 10' (305 cm) from the screen so the perforation pattern stays invisible and audio performance is optimal. The surface is a 1.0-gain white surface with an extra-wide 180° viewing cone and typical contrast, held flat by RF-welded tab-tensioning that resists separation and stickiness. The 21:9 ultrawide format suits constant-image-height and cinemascope-style layouts where a wide, immersive picture is required. The screen retracts into a pentagonal steel case with a black plastisol finish (white optional), ships with matching endcaps and universal mounting brackets for wall or ceiling installation, and includes a standard 12" (30 cm) black top drop. This unit is supplied at 110V with Draper's LVC-IV low-voltage controller for integration with a third-party control system such as Crestron or Control4. Pair the screen with a compatible unit from our commercial projectors collection and a bracket or lift from our projector mounts and lifts collection to complete the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ClearSound NanoPerf XT1000V surface fully acoustically transparent?

Yes. The surface uses microscopic NanoPerf perforations that allow sound from loudspeakers positioned behind the screen to pass through while maintaining image quality. Draper recommends seating viewers at least 10' (305 cm) from the screen for optimal audio and visual performance.

Why choose the 21:9 ultrawide format?

The 21:9 ultrawide format supports cinemascope-style and immersive layouts where a wide picture is required, and it pairs well with the acoustically transparent surface for screening rooms and auditoriums that place audio behind the image plane.

What control option does this configuration include?

SKU 101813SCU is supplied at 110V with Draper's LVC-IV low-voltage controller, which integrates with third-party control systems such as Crestron and Control4 for automated screen up/down operation.

What projectors and mounts are compatible?

It works with any commercial front projector matched to its 104 1/4" 21:9 format and your room's throw distance. Browse our commercial projectors and projector mounts and lifts, or contact us for a throw-distance calculation.

Does this screen integrate with behind-screen speaker systems for cinema or worship?

It is designed for exactly that. Acoustically transparent screens let integrators place center and surround channels directly behind the image plane, keeping dialogue and effects anchored to the picture in screening rooms, auditoriums, and worship spaces.

What warranty and support are included?

The Premier carries Draper's 5-year warranty (valid in the U.S. and Canada), supplied through Creation Networks as an authorized dealer. Contact us at creationnetworks.net for pre-sale specification help and post-sale support.
