Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol 208" Electric Projection Screen

For large venues that demand a premium, professional-grade projection experience, the Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol screen delivers unmatched image flatness, superb durability, and flexible installation options. This tensioned electric projection screen is engineered to stay perfectly flat across its entire surface, ensuring crisp, uniform image quality even on wide-format displays. The 208" width option is ideal for auditoriums, lecture halls, convention spaces, and houses of worship where audiences demand a cinema-like viewing experience from every seat. The Tensioned Professional Electrol can be installed in a variety of ways to suit room geometry and architectural constraints: ceiling recessed for a clean, almost invisible profile, wall mounted to retrofit existing lines, or suspended from the ceiling to accommodate unique ceiling configurations. The wooden housing with adjustable brackets adds a touch of sophistication and reliability, providing a sturdy foundation for long-term performance in high-traffic spaces. If you’re upgrading an established AV setup or outfitting a new build, this screen blends professional-grade image quality with a refined appearance that complements any interior design while delivering dependable operation day after day.

• The screen uses a tensioned fabric system to maintain perfect flatness, preventing waviness and edge curl that can compromise image detail on large formats. This results in a consistently sharp image from edge to edge, even at high brightness and in challenging lighting conditions.
• Flexible installation options let you tailor the setup to your space. Ceiling recessed, wall mounted, or suspended from the ceiling—thanks to a robust wooden housing and adjustable brackets, you can adapt to varied room heights, alcoves, and mounting depths without sacrificing alignment or performance.
• Premium build quality combines durability with aesthetics. The wooden housing not only looks refined, it dampens vibration and resists flex over time, maintaining screen integrity in busy environments such as classrooms, conference centers, and performance venues.
• Large-format capability supports expansive audiences. With options up to 21'8" wide, including the 208" version, you can achieve an immersive viewing experience in sizeable spaces—while preserving image clarity and uniform brightness across the entire screen.
• Reliable, quiet operation with easy maintenance. The electric motor provides smooth, unobtrusive retraction and deployment, ideal for daily use or high-demand events. Routine checks and minimal maintenance help ensure long service life and minimal downtime.

How to install Da-Lite Tensioned Professional Electrol 208"

Proper installation is essential to maximize image quality and ensure long-term reliability. The following guidelines summarize common practices used by professional installers. Always refer to the official installation manual for your exact model and local building codes.

• Plan the mounting location by assessing room dimensions, projector throw distance, seating layout, and sightlines. Ensure there is adequate space above the screen for the housing and that the wall or ceiling structure can support the weight.
• Choose the mounting method that best suits the room: recessed ceiling installation for a streamlined aesthetic, wall mounting for retrofit projects, or ceiling suspension when ceiling depth or hardware constraints require it. Prepare the mounting surface accordingly.
• Install adjustable brackets and ensure they are securely anchored to structural members. Use hardware rated for the screen size and weight, and verify the brackets are plumb and level before attaching the housing.
• Mount the Da-Lite housing to the brackets and verify alignment with the projector height and screen seating area. Level the unit and adjust the bracket positions as needed to achieve a perfectly horizontal screen.
• Connect the power supply following local electrical codes. After wiring, test the remote control or wall switch to confirm smooth, quiet operation of the motorized mechanism, and extend the screen to verify the surface remains taut and free of wrinkles.
