The Screen
I built the screen with an accoustically transparent material called Dazian Coated Celtic Cloth. I looked at several types of screen material, but ended up using Dazian CCC for several reasons:
• no chance for moiré;
• cheap;
• 120" width;
• cheap;
• highly recommended;
• and, cheap.
First, I moved my center channel speaker up to be inline with the left and right speakers. I started the screen by screwing 1×2s into the studs of the walls. The inner dimensions of the resultant frame will be the final dimensions of the screen.
I removed the speaker grills and painted the frame and everything inside of the frame a flat black. It took two coats to cover the wall.
Because the screen is accoustically transparent, it’s also translucent. If I didn’t paint the wall black behind the screen, light could reflect back into the screen, blurring or washing out the picture.
I made a removable frame out of 1×4 poplar, which I hung over the screen using French cleats. On the sides and bottom, I secured the frame to the wall with one screw each.
I stapled the Dazian fabric to the 1×2 frame. This way, I didn’t have to worry about the tension of the screen material warping the frame because it’s too tight, or wrinkling because it’s too loose.
