Ultra Short Throw Projector Cabinets
A prime consideration when selecting any specific stand or cabinet on/in which to place and support your ultra short throw projector is the projector’s height above the floor. Furniture that is too tall (like many television stands) and/or a ceiling that is too low could limit the size of your UST projector’s image or the screen you can use. Don’t forget to calculate for the extra vertical height required between the horizontal surface where the bottom of your UST projector sits and the bottom of the projected image, which typically varies from around a foot to a foot and a half or so depending on the specific projector and how large your image/screen will be.
Although the difference between what is considered a “stand” versus a “cabinet” can be somewhat ambiguous, in general a stand will have your ultra short throw projector sitting on top of it at all times, while a cabinet encloses the UST projector inside a slide-out drawer both for a “cleaner look” and also to protect it from dust and potential damage while not in use.
If you prefer that your ultra short throw projector be hidden away while not in use, you should go with a cabinet such as the ones featured below instead of a stand. Also, if you plan on connecting your projector to an external surround sound audio system or a soundbar system, you won’t have to worry about any potential blocking of the UST projector’s built-in speakers from parts of the motorized slide-out drawer and/or mechanism.
Want to MAXIMIZE Image/Screen Size?
I know of two ultra short throw projector cabinets which will support your UST projector less than 10″ above the floor. This allows you to MAXIMIZE your potential image/screen size if you’ve got any limitations due to lower ceiling height!
Each of these smart electric motorized ultra short throw projector cabinets need to be plugged into a nearby AC outlet for power and connected to the UST projector via USB for synchronization.
Will you be connecting your ultra short throw projector to a separate external home theater surround sound system with a dedicated center channel speaker and didn’t see what you were looking for up above? Check out USTCabinets.com.
