Salamander Chicago 245 Cabinet for Integrated Hisense L9G UST Projector - Black Oak - X/HSEL9/245CH/BK

Product Overview

The Salamander Chicago 245 is an 85.5-inch UST projector cabinet engineered around an integrated Hisense L9G laser TV projector. The L9G is a triple-laser UST unit whose image quality depends heavily on exact placement relative to the screen, which is what a purpose-built cabinet delivers. The Chicago grass-texture Black Oak finish is a durable commercial specification for conference and training rooms. It consolidates projector, source equipment, and cabling into one architectural element.

Product Description

Triple-laser ultra short throw projectors are specified when a room needs a large, color-accurate image without a ceiling mount or a dark room. The trade-off is placement sensitivity: a few millimeters of drift produces visible geometry and focus error across an 100-inch-plus image. Mounting the projector at a fixed factory offset inside a cabinet removes that variable permanently, which is why integrators supporting a room long-term specify integrated cabinets rather than credenza-top placement.

The 245 chassis provides equipment bays alongside the projector for switching, source devices, and control hardware, with cable management routed internally so nothing shows in the room. The cabinet interior remains accessible for service without disturbing the projector, so a maintenance visit never turns into a recommissioning visit. Across a multi-room standard, every cabinet produces the same result on install day.

Key Features

• Hisense L9G Integration — Factory-fixed projector offset holds triple-laser UST geometry without field alignment.
• 85.5-Inch Width — Sized for the large image the L9G is specified to produce.
• Chicago Grass-Texture Black Oak — A durable commercial finish that conceals handling marks.
• Integrated Equipment Bays — Switching, sources, and control hardware share the projector enclosure.
• Concealed Cable Management — Internal routing eliminates visible cabling in the room.
• Service Without Realignment — Equipment is reachable without disturbing projector position.
• Repeatable Room Standard — Identical results across multi-room deployments.

Typical Applications

• Conference room
• Training room
• Commercial meeting space

Technical Specifications

Competitor Comparison

Three products get specified against the same brief and solve it differently. Competitor prices are list figures at time of writing and change.

How to choose: specify the Salamander cabinet when the room is commercial, the projector model is already decided, and the same enclosure has to carry rack equipment. The Vividstorm suits a residential install that wants the screen bundled. The Middle Atlantic C5-FF27 is the right answer when rack density matters more than projection and the finish will be matched to existing millwork. Where the room needs both UST projection and full-depth rack gear, the 237 deep chassis at 34 in is the variant to look at.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cabinet accept a Hisense L5G or PX1 instead?

No. The cutout is dimensioned for the Hisense L9G specifically. Salamander builds separate cabinet variants for the L5G and PX1 because the chassis dimensions differ. Confirm your exact projector model with our team before ordering.

Is the projector included with the cabinet?

No. The cabinet arrives factory-prepared with the correct cutout and mounting, and the Hisense L9G is purchased separately and installed into it.

Does the cabinet need active cooling with a laser projector inside?

Laser UST projectors generate meaningful heat in an enclosed space. Salamander offers active cooling rear panels and bottom vents as factory-installed options, and they are worth specifying on any equipment-dense build. See the Salamander Designs collection.

How does it ship?

At 295 lb in a 90-inch carton this is LTL freight. Confirm dock or liftgate access and the route to the room. Contact our team for delivery and installation.
