Audio Video Term

Acoustically Transparent Screen

Acoustically Transparent Screen is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Acoustically Transparent Screen is a projection screen material that allows sound from speakers behind the screen to pass through with minimal obstruction.

Example of Acoustically Transparent Screen

A bright media room may use a large TV or an ambient-light-rejecting projection screen, while a dedicated theater may use a projector and acoustically transparent screen. In that kind of Davis display or projection project, the term Acoustically Transparent Screen would describe a projection screen material that allows sound from speakers behind the screen to pass through with minimal obstruction. Davis would use that understanding to account for screen or display selection, HDMI signal path, mounting, calibration, and real viewing conditions in the room, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
