celexon SOUNDVISION Premium Plus Acoustic Screen (100") Motorised Screen

celexon SOUNDVISION Premium Plus: the sound comes straight from the centre of the picture

The SOUNDVISION Premium Plus is celexon's motorised tensioned screen with an acoustically transparent woven fabric and a 221 × 124 cm viewable area (100", 16:9). It is the specialist acoustic screen for a true home cinema: the finely woven SOUNDVISION fabric lets sound pass through almost unimpeded, so you can place your centre and front speakers invisibly right behind the screen. Voices and effects then come straight from the centre of the picture, just like in a cinema, rather than from below or beside it.

Despite the fine micro-weave structure, the image remains detailed and true to colour; no distracting grid pattern (moiré) appears. A lateral cable tensioning system keeps the surface permanently flat, and a quiet tubular motor extends and retracts it at the touch of a button.

Key benefits at a glance

• Sound from the centre of the picture: The acoustically transparent fabric lets sound pass through almost unhindered – the speakers disappear invisibly behind the image, and dialogue comes straight from the actors' mouths instead of from somewhere below.
• No moiré, sharp 4K image: The fine micro-weave structure (approx. 150 micro-perforations/cm²) with angled weave reproduces high-resolution 4K content in rich detail, without a distracting grid pattern.
• True colours and wide viewing angles: With a gain of 1.1, the fabric reproduces images with high colour neutrality over a wide horizontal viewing angle of 150°.
• Discreet premium housing: The slim, matte white aluminium housing in a modern square-profile design blends unobtrusively into living rooms and home cinemas.
• Premium Plus technology, all included: tensioned flatness and spiral roller, quiet tubular motor below 50 dB, plus radio and infrared remote control and USB wireless trigger as standard.

Is this screen the right choice?

• Yes, if you want to place the centre and front channels invisibly behind the image and hear the sound coming from the centre of the picture, just like in a real cinema.
• Yes, if you are planning a dedicated home cinema with a large screen wall and don't want speakers visible below or beside it.
• Yes, with any conventional front projector – whether lamp, LED, single, dual or triple laser; the neutral fabric with gain 1.1 works well with every projector technology.
• Not necessary if you don't plan to put speakers behind the image: if your main goal is the maximum black level, a contrast screen such as the celexon GREYVISION or celexon DARKVISION is a more targeted choice.
• Not suitable if your projector is a laser TV or ultra short throw model: it projects very steeply from below and needs a laser TV/CLR screen with an angle-selective microstructure.

Acoustic transparency: picture and sound from one surface

The SOUNDVISION fabric is a genuine acoustic fabric: an exceptionally fine micro-weave with around 150 micro-perforations per cm² lets sound pass through almost unhindered. This means you can place your home cinema speakers (above all the centre, often the two front channels as well) directly behind the image. The sound detaches from the screen and sits exactly where the action is happening. Cinemas use exactly this principle, with the screen hanging in front of the speakers.

By their very nature, acoustically transparent fabrics slightly attenuate a small part of the highest frequencies, which modern AV receivers compensate for during calibration. A slightly angled weave prevents a grid pattern (moiré) and keeps the image clean even in 4K. With gain 1.1 and a wide viewing angle of 150°, the fabric reproduces colours almost 100 % neutrally. The black masking border all round provides a clean image edge and also gives the auto-alignment features of modern smart projectors a clear reference frame.

Premium Plus mechanism: permanently flat and quiet

The SOUNDVISION uses the high-quality chassis of the Premium Plus series. A precisely tuned tab-tensioning cable system keeps the projection surface perfectly flat at all times, so the image sits evenly and flat across the entire surface, even on large diagonals. This is particularly important with acoustic fabric, as a flat surface ensures a uniform distance to the speakers behind it. A spiral-groove roller ensures the fabric rolls up without streaks: the start of the fabric sits in a recessed step instead of running over a small edge, so every subsequent layer lies flat on top and no pressure marks form. The spring-mounted bottom bar retracts flush and gently into the housing, while a quiet quality tubular motor with silent soft start and stop ensures particularly smooth operation. The closed, matte white aluminium housing in a modern 4-edge design reliably protects the retracted fabric from dust and insects and blends discreetly into modern living and working spaces.

Will the SOUNDVISION Premium Plus fit your room? Dimensions and planning

Important before you buy: an acoustic motorised screen needs not only more space than the image width but also depth for the speakers behind it. The key details at a glance:

The key points for planning:

• Black top drop: With the 16:9 format, there is a black top drop of around 50 cm at the top between the screen housing and the projection surface. It lowers the image to a comfortable seated viewing height, so the image doesn't start directly below the ceiling. Allow for it when planning the mounting height; it can only be shortened by a few centimetres. Always extend the fabric fully if possible: its own weight pulls the surface flat and prevents waves.
• Speakers behind the screen: Allow some depth behind the screen for the centre and front speakers; a few centimetres between speaker and fabric prevent contact and let the fabric vibrate freely.
• Seating distance: With an image width of 221 cm, a comfortable seating distance for most viewers is around 3.5–4.5 m.
• Mounting: on the wall or ceiling as required; matching mounting brackets, ceiling hangers and an adjustment tool are included. Place the brackets as close to the end caps as possible for the smoothest operation; installation by two people recommended.
• Power connection: The cable outlet is at the rear near the left end cap; plan the power supply there.
• Tip: Mark out the dimensions on the wall with masking tape beforehand – you'll see straight away whether the image size and lower image edge are right.

Exactly where the projector needs to stand and how the speakers fit behind the screen is the trickiest question. Tell us about your setup and we will plan the projector placement and speaker positions with you. Have your projector placement calculated →

Operation and control: everything included

The SOUNDVISION comes with complete control built in. Radio and infrared receivers are integrated into the housing, and the matching remote controls are included. With the supplied USB wireless trigger, the screen lowers fully automatically as soon as the projector starts and retracts again once it is switched off, so a single remote is all you need. You can fine-tune the lower stop point of the screen in small steps via remote control (up to ±15 cm) to match the image height exactly to your furniture. If you like, you can also integrate the screen into an AV receiver, smart home or building control system via the RJ45 interface (RS232/RS485) or potential-free contacts.

Applications

Dedicated home cinema with cinema sound: The SOUNDVISION shows its strengths in a true home cinema, where the screen and the speaker set-up form a single unit. Centre and front channels disappear invisibly behind the picture, the sound sits exactly in the image and nothing gets in the way. From film nights and series to live sport, this creates a seamless, immersive audiovisual experience just like in a cinema – with any conventional front projector.

Prestigious media and training rooms: In media, conference or event rooms, too, this acoustically transparent motorised screen hides the sound system invisibly behind the screen, leaving the front free of visible technology. Ideal for auditoriums, showrooms and prestigious presentation spaces where image, sound and appearance need to go together.

How to keep your screen looking good for a long time

After the film, the screen retracts back into the housing, where it is protected from dust and touch. The PVC fabric surface is sensitive to temperature: do not install the screen in direct sunlight, directly in front of a window or right next to a radiator or air conditioner. After delivery, the fabric should be allowed to acclimatise for about two hours (longer after a sharp change in temperature). Clean only with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth, never with alcohol or cleaning agents.

Frequently asked questions about the celexon SOUNDVISION Premium Plus

What is an acoustically transparent screen?
An acoustically transparent (AT) screen consists of a finely woven or micro-perforated fabric that lets sound pass through almost unhindered. This allows you to place your speakers (especially the centre) invisibly behind the screen. The sound then comes straight from the picture, just like in a cinema. The SOUNDVISION uses a weave with around 150 micro-perforations per cm² for this.

Will I lose sound quality through the fabric?
Hardly at all in practice. By its nature, acoustic fabric attenuates a small part of the highest frequencies; the AV receiver's automatic calibration reliably compensates for this, so the effect is then inaudible. This doesn't require any expensive specialist equipment – the necessary auto calibration is standard on modern AV receivers. In return, you gain precise localisation of the sound directly from the centre of the picture.

Will I see the speakers or a grid pattern (moiré) through the fabric?
No. The white fabric visually conceals the speakers behind it. To prevent a grid pattern between the weave and the pixel grid (moiré), the SOUNDVISION has an angled weave structure that breaks up the regular pattern – the image stays clean even in 4K. A few centimetres between speaker and fabric prevent contact and let the fabric vibrate freely.

Which projector suits the SOUNDVISION?
Any conventional front projector. The neutral white fabric with gain 1.1 works well with lamp, LED, single, dual and triple laser projectors. As a guide, around 2,000 lumens upwards is sufficient depending on the image size; larger diagonals require more. Only laser TV/ultra short throw models need a special CLR screen.

Do I need the SOUNDVISION if I don’t have speakers behind the picture?
The strength of the SOUNDVISION is its acoustic transparency – it pays off when speakers are to be placed behind the picture. If maximum black level is your priority instead, the contrast screens celexon GREYVISION and celexon DARKVISION are the specialised choice.

Can I use the screen in the garden or outdoors?
No. The SOUNDVISION is permanently mounted, needs a power connection and is made for indoor use, not for permanent outdoor use. For outdoor use, an inflatable outdoor screen such as the celexon INF Professional or a portable screen is suitable.
