Product Overview
The Salamander Siena 229S is a compact 44-inch UST projector cabinet for an integrated LG HU85LA or HU915Q ultra short throw projector, finished in Black Oak with a black top. The narrow footprint is the specification driver: it brings factory-integrated UST projection to small conference rooms and huddle spaces that cannot accommodate an 85-inch credenza. The projector mounts at a fixed offset set at the factory. This is the small-room answer in the LG cabinet range.
Product Description
Ultra short throw projection is often most valuable in the smallest rooms, because those are the spaces where running conduit to a ceiling mount is hardest to justify and where a long-throw projector would be shadowed by every presenter. The constraint is furniture scale — a full-width AV credenza consumes a small room. The 229S chassis resolves that at 44 inches while keeping the factory-fixed projector integration that makes UST installs repeatable.
Equipment capacity is proportionate to the footprint, so specify this cabinet where the electronics package is modest: a codec, a compact switcher, and control hardware. Cable management runs internally between the projector compartment and the equipment area with nothing visible in the room, and the interior remains accessible for service without disturbing the projector. At 180 lb it is materially easier to deliver and position than the 295 lb full-width cabinets.
Key Features
- 44-Inch Compact Footprint — Brings integrated UST projection to rooms too small for a full-width credenza.
- LG HU85LA and HU915Q Integration — Factory-fixed projector offset removes UST field alignment.
- Black Oak With Black Top — A standard commercial finish for professional meeting rooms.
- 180 lb Installed Weight — Easier to deliver and position than full-width UST cabinets.
- Internal Cable Management — Concealed routing between projector and equipment area.
- Serviceable Interior — Equipment access without disturbing projector alignment.
Typical Applications
- Small conference room
- Huddle room
- Commercial meeting space
- Government and public-sector meeting space
- Training room
- Multi-purpose room

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.
| Criterion | Salamander 229 (this cabinet) | Vividstorm Barcelona Mark III (VC22BC130B) | Middle Atlantic C5-FF27 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Projector integration | Machined at the factory for one named projector, so throw geometry is fixed by the cabinet and never commissioned on site. | Universal UST bay matched to a published projector list including Formovie Theater and the Hisense PX series; position is set during installation. | No projector accommodation. It is a rack credenza frame, not a projection cabinet. |
| Equipment capacity | Width gives equipment bays alongside the projector compartment at a standard cabinet depth — wide rather than deep. | Compartments are sized for consumer AV components; Vividstorm publishes no 19 in rack rail specification for this cabinet. | Purpose-built 19 in rack credenza — the strongest of the three for rack density. |
| Screen | Not included. Pairs with a separately specified fixed-frame or tensioned ALR screen. | Motorized ALR screen rises from the cabinet, so screen and cabinet are a single purchase. | Not included. |
| Finish | Commercial veneer, lacquer and glass options across the line: Chicago textured Black Oak, Miami Gloss Warm White, Siena Medium Walnut, Oslo Black Glass. | Residential-oriented finishes, generally black or white. | Ships as a frame; veneer or laminate is field-applied to match existing room millwork. |
| Market fit | Commercial — boardrooms, briefing centers, government and higher education. | Residential and prosumer home theater. | Commercial AV, but as a rack enclosure rather than a projection cabinet. |
| Delivered state | Arrives assembled and finished; the projector drops into a prepared opening. | Arrives assembled with the screen mechanism installed. | Frame only — doors, tops, rack rails and finish are specified and added separately. |
| Indicative price | $2,739 | $3,649 | $1,922.40, frame only, before doors, top, rails and finish |
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
How much equipment fits in a 229S?
A modest package — codec, compact switcher, and control processor. The 44-inch footprint trades equipment capacity for room fit. Specify the 85.5-inch 245 cabinet when the rack build is substantial.
Does the smaller cabinet reduce image size?
No. Image size depends on the projector and its throw distance to the screen, not cabinet width. The 229S holds the LG projector at the same correct offset as the larger cabinets.
Is the projector included?
No. The cabinet is factory-prepared with the cutout and mounting; the LG projector is purchased separately.
