Yes, because this is an in-ceiling model, it requires cutting into your ceiling structure to create the housing cavity. We strongly recommend hiring a professional installer or contractor to ensure the screen is properly supported and the ceiling finish is handled correctly.

A 0.9 gain is considered a neutral surface, meaning it reflects light back to the viewer with high color accuracy and minimal hot-spotting. This is an excellent choice for dedicated home theaters with controlled lighting where you want the most natural, cinematic image possible.

While this screen provides high-quality image reproduction, its neutral gain surface is best suited for rooms where you can control the light. If you have significant windows or bright overhead lighting, you may want to consider a high-contrast screen material instead.

The housing for the Ultimate Access/Series E is designed to be substantial to protect the roller mechanism.

The motorized system is engineered for smooth, reliable deployment, but it is not silent. You will hear the hum of the motor while the screen is moving, though it is designed to operate discreetly enough for professional conference rooms and home cinema environments.

Yes, the motorized operation is typically controlled via a wall switch or a remote, depending on the specific control configuration you choose during the ordering process. Be sure to confirm your preferred control method with your dealer before finalizing your purchase.
