Élysium Screens Edge|One SonicWeave 150"

A fixed projection screen designed to place speakers behind the projection surface. The woven, acoustically transparent SonicWeave 8K fabric lets sound pass through with a stated attenuation of just -0.5 dB. The aluminum frame, less than one centimeter thick, remains discreet on the wall. A configuration that reproduces the principle used in professional movie theaters, where speakers are systematically concealed behind the screen.

Why place your speakers behind the screen

In a conventional home theater setup, the front speakers frame the screen or are positioned below it. This arrangement creates a spatial offset: dialogue and sound effects come from a different point than the visual action. Placing the speakers behind the screen physically aligns the sound source and the image.

The benefit is especially noticeable with dialogue. When a character speaks on the left side of the frame, the sound actually emerges from that area. The center speaker, often the most important in a multichannel configuration, can occupy its ideal position: at the geometric center of the screen, at eye level.

This approach also makes it possible to install a larger screen without sacrificing speaker placement. In a room with limited dimensions, where every centimeter counts, that is a concrete advantage.

SonicWeave 8K fabric: weave and acoustic transparency

Acoustically transparent screen fabrics exist in two main forms: microperforated surfaces (PVC pierced with thousands of holes) and woven fabrics. SonicWeave belongs to the second category.

Weaving offers several advantages over perforation. It eliminates the risk of moiré, those unwanted patterns that appear when the structure of the fabric interferes with the pixel grid of the projector. On 4K and 8K content, where information density is high, the absence of moiré is a decisive criterion.

The -0.5 dB sound attenuation stated by Élysium Screens is low. By way of comparison, a difference of 1 dB is barely perceptible for most listeners. The fabric should therefore let frequencies pass through without noticeable coloration, from bass to treble. Behavior in the high frequencies is generally the critical point for acoustic fabrics: treble, being more directional, is more easily absorbed. A low measurement in this range suggests good acoustic transparency.

The stated 4K and 8K compatibility is based on the fineness of the weave. The tighter the mesh, the less visible it is at a normal viewing distance. Élysium Screens specifies that the image remains “ultra-detailed without rippling or defects,” which suggests a weave dense enough not to alter the rendering of high-resolution projections.

An aluminum frame less than one centimeter thick

Frame thickness is a parameter that is often overlooked. Yet it influences both the aesthetics and the integration of the screen into an interior. With a profile of less than one centimeter, the Edge|One looks more like a wall-mounted television than a bulky piece of technical equipment.

The rigid aluminum structure guarantees the flatness of the fabric. A spring tensioning system maintains this flatness over time, preventing the ripples that sometimes appear on lower-quality screens after a few months of use.

The beveled, light-absorbing black borders play a dual role. They improve perceived contrast by creating a sharp separation between the image and the surroundings. And they limit stray reflections that could affect image readability under optimal projection conditions.

Installation and setup

Élysium Screens states an assembly time of about 30 minutes, which is consistent with the fixed-frame design equipped with a spring tensioning system. This type of installation generally does not require specialized tools or advanced technical skills.

The wall-mounting system allows the screen to be positioned at the desired height. The illustrated manual provided should guide each step of assembly and mounting.

One point to note: the recommended flat storage. Woven fabrics can deform if they are stored rolled up for an extended period. Once installed, this is no longer an issue, but it is something to keep in mind during transport or a possible move.
