Salamander Chicago 245 Deep Cabinet for Integrated Sony VPL-VZ1000ES UST Projector - Black Oak - X3/SNY245CH/BO

Product Overview

The Salamander Chicago 245 Deep is a 30-inch-deep UST projector cabinet for an integrated Sony VPL-VZ1000ES 4K laser projector. The depth is the specification driver: it accepts full-depth rack equipment that will not fit the standard 21.25-inch chassis, letting the projector and a genuine equipment rack share one enclosure. The grass-texture Black Oak finish suits boardrooms and briefing spaces. At 330 lb this is a permanent architectural installation.

Product Description

Rooms specified around a native 4K UST projector usually carry a substantial electronics package behind it — matrix switching, audio DSP, control processing, sometimes a rack-mount PC. A standard-depth UST credenza cannot take that equipment, which forces the classic compromise of a cabinet in the room and a rack somewhere else, with a cable pathway between them that someone has to design and install.

The 30-inch deep chassis eliminates that split. The Sony projector mounts at a factory-fixed offset so ultra short throw geometry is set by the furniture, while the additional depth leaves room for full-depth rack gear behind the same doors. Cable management runs internally between the projector compartment and the equipment bays, and the interior remains accessible for service without disturbing projector alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the deep chassis worth the extra cost?

When the electronics package includes full-depth rack equipment — matrix switching, DSP, amplification, or a rack-mount PC. Standard-depth UST cabinets at 21.25 inches cannot take those, forcing a separate rack location.

Is the Sony projector included?

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

Does the extra depth affect projector placement?

No. The projector still mounts at the correct factory-set throw offset relative to the screen. The additional depth is behind the projector compartment and is used for equipment.

What are the delivery requirements?

At 330 lb in a 97 x 37 x 30 in carton this is LTL freight with liftgate, and the route from receiving to the room needs checking for width. Contact our team to plan delivery and installation.
