Premium projection screens for immersive home theater and professional studio experiences
Perfect Audio-Visual Integration
Seamlessly combine crystal-clear projection with perfectly positioned speakers behind the screen for a true cinematic experience.
Thin Bezel Acoustically Transparent Screen
A Thin Bezel Acoustically Transparent Screen is a high-performance fixed frame projection screen designed for premium home theaters and professional studios. It combines several key features:
- Acoustically Transparent Fabric: The screen material is perforated with micro-holes or is woven in a way that allows sound waves to pass through it with minimal loss or distortion.
- Fixed-Frame Design: The fabric is stretched taut and permanently fixed onto a rigid, lightweight frame, ensuring a perfectly flat and smooth surface without any wrinkles or waves.
- Narrow Bezel: The frame surrounding the screen material (the bezel) is very thin. This minimizes visual distraction, helping the viewer focus entirely on the projected image and creating a more seamless, immersive experience.
In essence, it is a screen that “disappears” both visually, thanks to the thin frame, and acoustically, by allowing you to place speakers directly behind it, just like in a commercial movie theater.
Main Features and Advantages
Acoustic Transparency
Specialized materials (woven or micro-perforated) let sound pass through.
Key Advantage: Optimal Sound Placement – Place the center channel and main speakers directly behind the screen for perfect sound-image alignment and a pristine setup without visible speakers.
Narrow Bezel Frame
The physical frame is designed to be as slim as possible.
Key Advantage: Immersive Viewing – Reduces the visual barrier between the screen and the wall, making the image appear to float and enhancing the cinematic feel.
Fixed, Taut Surface
The material is permanently stretched on the frame.
Key Advantage: Perfect Image Geometry – Guarantees a flawlessly flat surface for sharp, distortion-free images across the entire screen, superior to retractable screens.
High-Quality Visual Performance
These screens are engineered to maintain color accuracy,contrast,and clarity.
Key Advantage: Superior Picture Quality – Despite the acoustic properties, modern fabrics are designed to minimize any negative impact on the image, with some offering high gain for brighter pictures.
Types of Acoustically Transparent Fabrics
Woven Fabric
Micro-Perforated PVC
This material feels like a sturdy textile. It is created by weaving threads together, leaving tiny gaps for sound to pass through.
Characteristics:
Generally offers excellent sound transparency with very low attenuation (sound loss). Woven fabrics often have minimal visible texture, making them less distracting from normal viewing distances. They are often favored for their acoustic performance.
This material is a solid PVC sheet with millions of laser-cut micro-holes.
Characteristics:
Can sometimes achieve higher optical gain (a brighter image) compared to woven fabrics. However, the perforations can be more visible at close distances (a “texture” effect), and some models may cause slightly more high-frequency sound attenuation than woven screens.
Common Applications
This type of screen is typically used in settings where both visual fidelity and audio performance are critical:
The premier choice for achieving a true, commercial-grade cinema experience at home or in professional environments where a clean, integrated audio-visual setup is essential.
