AWOL Aetherion Max 4K RGB Laser Ultra Short Throw Projector

A New Generation of Ultra Short Throw Home Theater

The AWOL Aetherion Max is a premium 4K RGB laser ultra short throw projector designed to deliver an enormous, cinematic image without requiring a traditional projector installation.

With 3,300 ISO lumens, 110% Rec.2020 color coverage, and 6,000:1 native contrast, the Aetherion Max combines the brightness needed for large-screen viewing with the color performance and contrast needed for serious movie watching.

Place it just inches from the wall or screen and enjoy an immersive 80–200 inch image without mounting a projector on the ceiling or running long HDMI cables across your room.

RGB Triple-Laser Color

The Aetherion Max uses a true RGB triple-laser light source to produce an exceptionally wide color gamut, reaching 110% of the Rec.2020 color space.

The result is rich, vibrant color with excellent color volume across movies, sports, gaming, and HDR content.

4K Detail From Edge to Edge

AWOL's PixelLock™ Technology is designed to maintain precise pixel alignment across the entire projected image. Combined with the Aetherion Max's advanced optical system, it helps deliver consistent sharpness from the center of the screen to the corners.

The projector also incorporates a sapphire-glass lens system with rare-earth coatings designed to maximize light transmission, clarity, and color accuracy.

Better Black Levels

Ultra short throw projectors have traditionally faced challenges when it comes to black-level performance. The Aetherion Max addresses this with AWOL's NoirScene™ System II.

The system combines a 7-level adjustable iris, internal stray-light control, and EBL™ (Enhanced Black Level) processing to improve contrast and shadow detail.

With 6,000:1 native contrast and up to 60,000:1 viewing contrast, the Aetherion Max is designed to produce deeper blacks and greater dimensionality in dark movie scenes.

Bright Enough for the Living Room

With 3,300 ISO lumens, the Aetherion Max is designed for large-screen viewing in environments where completely darkening the room isn't always practical.

For the best performance in rooms with ambient light, pair the projector with a high-quality UST ALR screen designed specifically for ultra short throw projection.

Ultra Short Throw Installation

The Aetherion Max has an approximately 0.2:1 throw ratio, allowing it to produce a massive image from an extremely short distance.

That makes it ideal for living rooms, dedicated home theaters, media rooms, and other spaces where a traditional long-throw projector isn't practical.

The projector supports image sizes from approximately 80 to 200 inches, giving you the ability to create a screen dramatically larger than a conventional television.

Designed for Serious Gaming

The Aetherion Max isn't just a movie projector. It's also built for high-performance gaming.

With 1ms ultra-low input latency, VRR, ALLM, HDMI 2.1, and support for high-refresh-rate gaming, the Aetherion Max can deliver a huge gaming image while maintaining extremely responsive controls.

It supports:

• 4K at 60Hz

• 1080p at 120Hz

• 1080p at 240Hz

• VRR

• ALLM

• Dolby Vision Gaming

Reduced Rainbow Effect

DLP projectors can sometimes exhibit the "rainbow effect," particularly with high-contrast scenes or fast eye movement.

The Aetherion Max incorporates AWOL's Anti-RBE technology for both 2D and 3D, designed to dramatically reduce this artifact for a cleaner and more comfortable viewing experience.

Cinematic Picture Modes

The Aetherion Max supports the formats and picture technologies you'd expect from a premium home theater projector, including:

• 4K UHD

• Dolby Vision

• HDR10

• HDR10+

• HLG

• Dynamic Tone Mapping

• Filmmaker Mode

• Active 3D

Filmmaker Mode is particularly useful for movie enthusiasts who want to preserve the original characteristics of cinematic content rather than applying excessive image processing.

Smart Features

The Aetherion Max includes a modern smart platform along with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, making it easy to integrate into a contemporary entertainment system.

For a dedicated home theater, the projector can also be paired with your preferred external streaming device, AV processor, receiver, and surround sound system.
