AUSTIN, TEXAS, that state’s vibrant capital city, houses many cultural icons.

- Michael Hamilton

For Millenials (not me), it means the South by Southwest film, music, and tech festival.

But for fans of home theater, Austin is where you’ll find Screen Innovations, manufacturer of a diverse lineup of projection screen solutions.

SI’s newest line of motorized screens is the Solo 2 series, a re-engineered version of the Solo family that debuted in 2017. The Solo Pro 2 under review here was designed to provide a high degree of flexibility, with twelve reflective materials including ambient light rejecting, acoustically transparent, and ultra-short-throw in 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios, propelled by three different motor capabilities.
