The Motor Drive of Your Electric Projection Screen

Electric projection screens are fundamentally dependent on the motor drive fitted to them.

In short, even with the finest screen fabric, an electric projection screen is only as good as the motor driving it.
Here are a few key points to help you understand why the motor drive of your electric projection screen matters.

Types of motor drives for electric projection screens

Electric projection screens can be powered by two types of motors: synchronous motors and tubular motors.

Synchronous motors are found in entry-level motorised projection screens or older models.
They are limited by a shorter lifespan and poor repeatability (the ability to perform the same travel distance consistently over time).

Mid-range and high-end projection screens are powered by tubular motors.
This type of motor is available in a wide range of speeds and form factors.
This is one of the key differentiators between one motor and another.

At AV Concept Products, we exclusively equip our electric projection screens with the fastest and quietest motors available.

Speed of the electric projection screen

The deployment speed of an electric projection screen plays a vital role in the overall quality of your Home Cinema installation.
Some models have fabrics that take an unreasonably long time to unroll —
a compromise made during the production of the electric projection screen to cut costs.

At AV Concept Products, we believe that the details are what make the difference between a good result and an exceptional one.
This is why all of our electric projection screens are fitted with fast motors.

Noise level of the electric projection screen

The noise level of an electric projection screen is probably the most frequently underestimated selection criterion.
Yet it is a crucial factor that significantly affects the perceived quality of your installation.
If you want an electric projection screen that is as quiet as it is refined, take the time to check its sound level before purchasing.
