Draper Acumen E

It means the screen material is woven in a way that allows sound waves to pass through it with minimal interference. This allows you to place your speakers directly behind the screen, creating a more immersive experience where the audio seems to originate from the image itself.

The Draper Acumen E is specifically engineered for ceiling installation. If you need a wall-mounted solution, you should look for a different model, as this unit's housing and mounting hardware are designed to hang from above.

A gain of 0.9 means the screen absorbs a small amount of light rather than reflecting it all back. This is generally preferred in controlled, dark home theater environments because it helps improve black levels and contrast, preventing the image from looking washed out.

No, a remote control is not included with this specific model. You will need to wire the electric motor to a wall switch or integrate it into your existing home automation system to control the deployment.

No, this model is not tensioned. While it provides a high-quality, acoustically transparent surface, it lacks the side-tensioning cables found on premium tab-tensioned screens that keep the fabric perfectly flat over time.

The fabric is flame and mildew resistant, which makes it quite durable for a media room. You can generally keep it clean by gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth, but avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the weave.
