Elite Screens Evanesce Series: In-Ceiling Electric Projection Screen

The Evanesce Series from Elite Screens is the ultimate solution for a clean, professional-looking projection setup. Designed to disappear into your ceiling, this fully contained in-ceiling electric projection screen offers a seamless and elegant viewing experience whether you’re upgrading a home theater, equipping a conference room, or outfitting a classroom. With a white-enameled aluminum housing that blends with most ceilings, Evanesce delivers a whisper-quiet retractable screen and a high-quality matte white projection surface. Choose between tensioned and non-tensioned variants and a range of aspect ratios to fit your space and viewing preferences—4:3, 16:9, 16:10, and 2.35:1—ensuring you get the perfect balance of image clarity, throw distance, and screen flatness for your projector. This screen is built for easy installation, reliable performance, and long-term value, providing a discreet centerpiece that enhances any presentation or cinematic experience.

• Discreet, premium design: The Evanesce screen is fully enclosed within a white-enameled aluminum housing, delivering a flush, ceiling-mount aesthetic that hides the screen when not in use and minimizes dust intrusion. Its streamlined profile is ideal for rooms where aesthetics matter as much as performance, keeping wiring and components out of sight for a clean, professional look.
• Two metering options: tensioned and non-tensioned: Evanesce provides both tensioned and non-tensioned variants, allowing you to choose the level of screen flatness and tension you prefer. The tensioned model uses calibrated stabilization to minimize warping and ripple, delivering a consistently flat viewing surface even at larger sizes, while the non-tensioned option offers a budget-conscious choice with reliable straightness for standard room conditions.
• Versatile projection surfaces and aspect ratios: Each Evanesce screen features a matte white projection surface that presents bright, accurate colors and wide viewing angles. Available in multiple aspect ratios—4:3, 16:9, 16:10, and 2.35:1—you can tailor the screen to your projector and content, ensuring cinematic letterboxing or full-bleed viewing as required by your space and media libraries.
• Durable construction for long-term use: The screen’s housing is designed for durability in both residential and commercial environments. The white enamel finish resists scuffs and corrosion, while the enclosed design protects the projection surface and mechanism from dust and debris. This means fewer maintenance hassles and a consistently smooth operation over years of use.
• Easy installation and flexible usage: The Evanesce system supports quick installation in new construction or retrofit projects, with a simple motorized drop-down for effortless setup. Once installed, you gain the convenience of remote or wall-control operation, fast retraction, and a reliable, quiet motor that won’t distract from your presentation or film experience.

how to install Elite Screens Evanesce Series

• Plan your installation by selecting the appropriate diagonal size and aspect ratio for your room and projector placement. Ensure the ceiling cavity can accommodate the white-enameled housing and that there is an accessible power source for the motorized mechanism.
• Prepare the ceiling opening to match the housing dimensions. Use the included mounting brackets and fasteners to secure the housing firmly to structural elements, ensuring a level, flush configuration with the ceiling plane.
• Route electrical wiring to the screen’s power input and the control interface (remote receiver or wall control). If required by local codes, hire a licensed electrician to handle wiring connections and compliant electrical installation.
• Install the projection surface and verify alignment with your projector. Lower the screen, check for warp or ripple (in the tensioned model), and adjust if necessary to achieve a perfectly flat surface across the viewing area.
• Test the system with your projector and control interface. Calibrate the screen’s height and alignment, confirm safe retraction, and secure any loose cabling. Leave a demonstration ready, ensuring the screen retracts smoothly and quietly and returns to its housing without obstruction.
