To any professionals considering Screen Excellence:
I have been in close contact with John and Kevin in regard to this product since before this product line's introduction into the US.
I can say that I have never been as excited over the technical details of a screen product as I was when I heard of the products that were launched under the Screen Excellence brand.
Also, you can count on the same excellent dealer support with this line as we have with all StJohn Group lines, and the same design/technical assistance we experienced with SR during the time StJohn Group imported that product.
Check out the TAM2 true aspect masking screens. They developed a way to considerably reduce the huge side panels that are required for side masking on competing premium screens. TAM2 side panels are only barely wider than the frame of a fixed screen!
To any DIYs considering Screen Excellence:
EN2, EN1, and EN4K are multi-later, woven fabrics which were specifically developed for acoustically transparent front projection.
These materials are NOT Phifer SheerWeave fabrics from the roller shade industry, rebadged and marketed as screen fabric.
Remember that the *other* screen material that Patrice developed was given both THX and ISF certification for outstanding PQ and SQ.
From what I have seen of the EN1 and EN4K, they are even more impressive.
John and Kevin at StJohn Group also worked with Patrice at Screen Excellence to get a product which is right up the DIYers alley...
The Craftsman Fixed screen. This screen comes with the fabric and the rails which hold the screen material... But without the mitered aluminum frame with the applied light-absorbing material.
If you are fabricating your own screen wall, you can order this screen and save a LOT of money vs. the traditional framed screen.
Here is the PDF of the install instructions, which helps to explain this much better than I could here.

This makes kind of a "DIY kit" from a known screen manufacturer, with a premium screen material.
It's a total win-win...
I am a huge fan of these screens.
