Salamander Chicago 245 Cabinet for Integrated Sony VPL-VZ1000ES UST Projector - Black Oak - X/SNY245CH/BO

Product Overview

The Salamander Chicago 245 is an 85.5-inch UST projector cabinet for an integrated Sony VPL-VZ1000ES ultra short throw projector. The VZ1000ES is a native 4K laser projector specified for rooms where image quality is non-negotiable, and its placement tolerance is correspondingly tight. This cabinet fixes it at a factory-set throw offset so geometry is established by the furniture. The grass-texture Black Oak finish conceals handling marks in daily-use rooms.

Product Description

A 4K UST projector is a significant line item, and mounting it loose on a credenza puts that investment at the mercy of whoever moves the furniture next. Any displacement shows immediately as geometry and focus error across a large image, requiring a technician to recover. Fixing the projector inside a purpose-built cabinet removes that risk for the life of the installation.

The 245 chassis carries switching, sources, and control hardware in equipment bays alongside the projector compartment, with cable management routed internally so nothing shows in the room. Interior access is preserved for equipment service without disturbing projector alignment, so a maintenance visit never becomes a recommissioning visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this and the X3 deep version?

Depth. This cabinet is 21.25 inches deep; the X3 variant is 30 inches and weighs 330 lb. Specify the X3 when the design includes full-depth rack equipment that will not fit a standard-depth chassis.

Is the Sony projector included?

No. The cabinet is factory-prepared with the cutout and mounting; the VPL-VZ1000ES is purchased separately and installed into it.

Should active cooling be specified?

For a 4K laser projector plus rack equipment in an enclosed cabinet, active cooling is strongly recommended. Rear panels and bottom vents with active cooling are factory-installed options — see the Salamander Designs collection.
