“It wraps the viewer in a vivid image with excellent direct and off-axis luminescence along with stunning colour uniformity,” says Elite Screens USA marketing manager Dave Rodgers.

“Sound breathes through the material with a minimal amount of acoustical insertion loss or dispersion. The design gives a superb performance free of visual artifacts so that viewers can sit, enjoy and be wrapped in a full cinematic experience.”

The curve design of the Lunette enhances its aesthetic appeal by giving its viewers the sensation of being physically drawn into the cinemascope film. The curve design also eliminates the “pincushion effect” commonly experienced when projecting in a 2.35:1 (Cinemascope) format.

The Lunette uses Elite’s AcousticPro A4K acoustically transparent material. It is a 1.1 gain projection surface with its angular mesh weave design for optimal sound penetration. The A4K material was crafted to allow in-wall speakers behind the screen to give an excellent audio performance. Visually, the material eliminates the moiré artifacts while working with the anamorphic lens and scalers to enhance clarity and resolution. Its colour uniformity and off-axis luminescence wraps the viewer in a vivid image as sound breathes through the material with a minimal acoustic insertion loss or dispersion. Lastly, the acoustic weave is black backed to eliminate bounce back distortion.

The Lunette’s framework is 3.5” anodised aluminum frame that is velour surfaced to eliminate projector glare while enhancing image contrast. Its sliding wall brackets allows for each installation to be perfectly centred.
