Page 6: Inflatable Screen Setup
INFLATABLE SCREEN SETUP STEP 1: UNROLL SCREEN AND UNCOIL TETHERS Unroll screen on grass or tarp. Unfold the screen so it sits like a clamshell with the white projection surface on the inside (so it doesn’t touch the ground). Identify the top and bottom of the screen. - Page 7 INFLATABLE SCREEN SETUP STEP 2: SECURE STAKES AND TETHERS Place stakes in ground roughly 10 feet from the corners of screen at 135 degree angles. For 9’, 12’, and 16’ screens, clip the tethers from the corners of the screen to the stakes. For the 20’ screen, tie ends of tethers to stake, preferrably using a clove hitch knot.
- Page 8 INFLATABLE SCREEN SETUP STEP 3: ATTACH AIR BLOWER TO SCREEN Attach the air blower to the intake sleeve on the side of the inflatable frame using the cinch cord. Plug in the air blower using an extension cord (not provided with Home systems). Be sure the cinch cord is secured tightly around the coupling of the air blower.

SPEAKER SETUP STEP 1: SETUP SPEAKER STANDS This step is only for 16’ and 20’ systems. 9’ and 12’ systems do not include speaker stands. So if you have a 9’ or 12’ system, skip to next step. Remove speaker stands from protective bags and pace about five feet to each side of the Open Air Home Screen. - Page 10 SPEAKER SETUP STEP 3: ATTACH POWER AND AUDIO XLR CABLES Connect speaker power cord to each speaker. Plug in speaker power cord to an extension cord or power source. Plug in 50’ (or 100’ for 20’ system) XLR audio cables in to the XLR input (middle jack) on the back of each speaker.
