      What is an Acoustically Transparent Projector Screen?

      An acoustically transparent projector screen is designed to allow sound to pass through the screen without distortion. This enables you to place speakers directly behind the screen, just like in a commercial cinema, for a more immersive audio-visual experience. These screens use perforated or woven materials that maintain excellent picture quality while ensuring clear, natural sound delivery.

      Why do you need an Acoustically Transparent Projector Screen?

      For dedicated home theatres, an acoustically transparent screen offers the most cinema-like setup by allowing centre, left, and right speakers to be positioned behind the display. This ensures the sound comes directly from where it should—creating a more realistic and engaging experience without compromising on screen size or audio clarity.

      Key benefits of an Acoustically Transparent Projector Screen

      • True Cinematic Audio Placement - Place your speakers behind the screen for sound that perfectly matches the on-screen action.
      • Maximise Screen Size - Utilise the full width of your room without speaker placement limitations.
      • Maintains Picture Quality - High-quality woven or perforated screens ensure minimal impact on brightness and contrast.
      • Cleaner, Professional Home Theatre Design - Keep speakers hidden for a sleek, clutter-free setup.

      How to choose the right Acoustically Transparent Projector Screen?

      Woven vs. Perforated Material

      • Woven screens allow more sound to pass through and are ideal for minimising high-frequency loss.
      • Perforated screens use micro-perforations to let sound through while maintaining higher brightness and sharpness.

      Screen Gain and Light Control

      Consider a screen with a gain that matches your projector’s brightness. If your room isn’t fully light-controlled, an ambient light-rejecting (ALR) option may be beneficial.

      Fixed-Frame vs. Motorised

      • Fixed-frame screens provide superior tension and long-term durability.
      • Motorised screens offer flexibility for multi-purpose rooms where the screen needs to retract when not in use.

      Speaker Placement Considerations

      Ensure your speakers are positioned correctly behind the screen at ear level for the best soundstage. If using a perforated screen, you may need additional EQ adjustments to compensate for minor high-frequency loss.

      Border and Masking Options

      A black velvet border enhances contrast and absorbs stray light, improving perceived image quality. Some screens also feature masking options to adjust the aspect ratio for different content types.
