This electric projection screen is a standout within Elite’s Spectrum CE-Retail line, delivering not only a large 125-inch diagonal display but also superior surface flatness that flatters every image. The key to its crisp, uniform results lies in the tab-tension reinforcements mounted along the sides of the screen fabric, which actively pull the material taut to counteract curling and waviness that can occur with large screens.

The Spectrum Tab-Tension is designed with reliability and ease of use in mind, offering a clean, professional appearance that blends with home theaters, media rooms, conference spaces, classrooms, and other environments where a high-quality projection surface matters.

How to install Elite Screens Spectrum Tab-Tension

Installing the Spectrum Tab-Tension is straightforward for both new installations and upgrades. Start by choosing a mounting location that accommodates the 125" diagonal and provides clear clearance for full extension. Use a level to ensure the mounting surface is perfectly horizontal, as even small misalignments can affect the screen’s operation and image alignment. Attach sturdy mounting brackets to wall studs or ceiling supports, following the manufacturer’s weight ratings and installation guidelines. Once the brackets are secured, hang the screen housing securely on them, then verify that the fabric retracts and extends smoothly without snagging the tab-tension fabric or hitting nearby objects. Connect the power supply to a dedicated outlet, and, if included with your model, pair any remote or control switch as directed by the owner’s manual. Finally, power on the system and perform a full travel and alignment test, checking for even edge-to-edge image focus and ensuring the tab-tension reinforcements maintain flatness across the surface during operation. Regularly inspect the mounting hardware and clean the screen surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to preserve brightness and color accuracy over time.

• Plan the mounting location with viewing distance and ceiling height in mind to optimize seating placement and minimize glare.
• Mount wall or ceiling brackets securely to solid construction, ensuring level alignment for proper fabric tracking.
• Hang the screen housing and verify smooth deployment and retraction without interference or binding.
• Connect power and any available control interfaces (remote, wall switch, or integration system) following the manual.
• Power the unit and run a test sequence to confirm edge-to-edge flatness, image alignment, and quiet operation during use.
