Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Center behind screen?

Nonquantified hearsay. Pretty much standard internet quality information

I'm probably more than one new house away from front projection being a relevant part of my life anyway. By then, we'll probably be able to wirelessly beam the content directly into my brain. Now, if I can just get it to synch up with the voices...

Thanks, for the input, everyone. Does anybody know where to buy one of these perforated screens and if the picture-quality will suffer? The room is not built yet but the seating will probably be 3-4 meters from the screen.

Hello Mickey,

I've never seen a home installation of a perforated screen. You can check them out at www.stewartfilm.com or find the web site for Da-Lite screens. Check out www.projectorcentral.com as well; there may be info there.

I'm told that even with a perf screen, there are acoustical issues because the screen is not as acoustically transparent as the grill material on speakers, so it introduces reflections that compromise dispersion and liinearity. I've not done tests with these screens so I can't comment, but I've been told that you still have to equalize the center even if you use a perf screen.

Regards,

Surface: Textured White PVC
Luminance:
0.95 on axis
0.8 off axis (300)
Material Width: 54”
This screen is designed for use where sound systems are required to be placed behind the screens, allowing minimal loss of audio signals.
Finished: Welded with grommets

Check out Dazian, they have been around a long time and sell to movie theatres, I just bought the non-perf stuff off them.
