Elite Home 2 Series AcousticPro™ Projector Screen Review:
1-25-08 - Art Feierman
Overview
Projector Screen Highlights:
• Acoustic screen material allows speakers to be placed behind
the screen
• Relatively low cost for a motorized acoustic screen
• Require wall behind the screen is black or very dark and non-
reflective
• Screen surface is reasonably color neutral
• Slight loss of high frequencies and overall volume of sound
• Effective 12 volt trigger system, for having the screen drop at
projector power up, and close on projector shutdown.
• Comes with both infra-red, and RF remotes
•100", 16:9 version retails for $1609 before discounts, which can
be significant on Elite screens.

As our regular visitors are aware, we do very few screen reviews, typically only two or four a year. We are much better set
up, for reviewing projectors, than we are, for projector screens. In that, I mean, we have no accurate way of measuring
screen gain, and even less ability, in this case, to determine how good an acoustic screen material is at passing low,
medium, and high frequencies, from speakers place behind the screen, through the screen to the viewers.
Because of all of the above, our screen reviews tend to be more subjective, than objective.
The review of this new Elite Screens acoustic surface motorized screen was doubly challenging for the reasons above.
That said, let's get started.
The screen itself, is a motorized screen, housed in a white case, with black end caps. A power cord attaches to the screen
housing and can be plugged directly into a wall electrical outlet, or, if you prefer, your favorite installer, can run the power
inside the wall, to a source (all the usual electrical codes apply).
To control this screen, it actually comes with three remote
controls. One is the Infra-red remote control, the second remote
control is an RF remote control (so you don't need line of site),
and the third one, is Elite's novel, and quick way of allowing the
screen to be controlled (up/down), by projectors with 12 volt
triggers. Elite provides remote holders (so, for example you
could mount a holder on your wall, or near your equipment),
which you can see on two of the remotes below. The remote
controls each have UP, DOWN, and STOP buttons.
