Mesa, Ariz., August 20, 2014 – Severtson Screens (www.severtsonscreens.com), a global leader in innovative and quality projection screens for the home theater, education, house of worship, commercial, and pro AV markets, is pleased to announce that it has added a Bright White Acoustically Transparent (BWAT) screen material option to the acclaimed Legacy Series line-up. Now shipping and Made in the USA in Severtson’s manufacturing facility in Mesa, Ariz., Severtson Screens will officially launch the updated Legacy Series line during CEDIA Expo 2014, held in Denver from Sept. 11-13 at the Colorado Convention Center, booth #110.
“Our customers asked for a high-end, acoustically-transparent screen solution for the Legacy series, and we responded,” explained Toby Severtson, president and CEO of Severtson Corp. “Utilizing new state-of-the-art materials designed for applications where a more realistic soundstage is desired, the Legacy’s new addition of the BWAT screen allows for the installation of speakers to be placed directly behind the screen surface. With virtually no loss to the audio soundstage along with sharp image quality, its specially designed perforations allow the sound to pass through the screen material smoothly.”
The Legacy Series’ acoustic material is framed on a 30 degree angle to avoid moiré, and its AT surface is washable with mild soap and water, while also being flame retardant and mildew resistant.
Additional features include:
- Heavy duty contoured 3 1/8-inch aluminum frame
- Frame wrapped in light absorbing black velvet (the corners are matched perfectly)
- Severtson’s exclusive Tension Rod system provides a perfectly flat surface
