Epson ELPLM12 – Middle-Throw Zoom Projector Lens

Product Overview

The Epson ELPLM12 is a middle-throw zoom projector lens engineered for Epson Pro L-Series large-venue laser projectors. With a 1.74–2.35 throw ratio, this middle-throw zoom lens covers the workhorse mid-range projection distances found in most auditoriums and event rooms. It is an interchangeable lens (Middle-Throw #1) built for the Pro L25000U platform, with wide lens shift for off-axis flexibility.

Product Description

The ELPLM12 (Middle-Throw #1) covers a throw ratio of 1.74 to 2.35 referenced to a 200-inch screen, making it the mid-range option suited to the majority of auditorium and event-room geometries. As an interchangeable lens for the Pro L-Series, it allows a single chassis to be re-tasked across venues by swapping optics. The lens offers wide lens shift, with a vertical range of +65% and a horizontal range of +/-30%, giving integrators substantial latitude for off-center mounting and precise alignment without moving the projector body. Its F-number ranges from 1.9 to 2.1 across the zoom range, with a zoom ratio of 1.4 and a focal length of 54.7mm to 73.0mm. This optic is a common default specification for houses of worship, corporate general sessions, lecture halls, and rental and staging crews using the Pro L-Series laser engines. It is compatible with the Epson Pro L25000U large-venue laser projector platform. Integrators can review the full Epson projector lineup to match the appropriate chassis, including the Pro L30000UNL, or the Pro L20000UNL platform for lower-output needs.
