Following one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns in projector history, AWOL Vision today announced the official pre-order phase for its groundbreaking Aetherion Series. These are the world’s first triple-laser ultra short throw (UST) projectors delivering pristine 4K resolution on screens up to an astonishing 200 inches.

The Aetherion series shattered records on Kickstarter, raising nearly $18.7 million from over 7,000 backers. Now, consumers who missed the crowdfunding window have one final opportunity to secure the Aetherion Max or Aetherion Pro at substantial pre-order discounts before full retail pricing takes effect.

From April 20 through May 14, 2026, the Aetherion Series will be available for pre-order on Amazon and the official AWOL Vision website. Buyers can enjoy exclusive bundle savings of up to $2,500 off retail pricing, ahead of the Pro model’s retail launch in May and the Max in June.

Industry-First Technologies Redefine UST Performance

The Aetherion Series sets a new benchmark in immersive home entertainment with several notable innovations:

  • Anti-RBE Technology — Reduces rainbow artifacts by 99.99%, delivering virtually distraction-free viewing in both 2D and 3D content.
  • Proprietary PixelLock™ Technology — Fuses and synchronizes every pixel at scale for razor-sharp, edge-to-edge clarity across massive screen sizes.
  • Exceptional 6,000:1 native contrast ratio combined with brightness exceeding 3,300 ISO lumens (on the Aetherion Max), ensuring vibrant, high-impact images even in challenging lighting conditions.

These advancements make the Aetherion models ideal for dedicated home theaters as well as brighter living rooms, offering cinematic performance previously unattainable in the UST category.

Product specifications, detailed tech sheets, and high-resolution images are available in the official AWOL Vision Aetherion Series press kit.

High-Value Pre-Order Bundles: Complete Home Theater Solutions

AWOL Vision is making it easier than ever to build a premium home cinema by offering curated bundles that include high-quality projection screens at no extra cost.

Pre-order buyers can start with a fully refundable $20 deposit to unlock $150 in instant savings. The real value, however, comes from the bundled packages:

  • Aetherion Max Bundle Includes free 100″-132″ Cinematic ALR Screen Pre-order price: $4,499 (original value $5,498–$6,998) Savings: $999 – $2,499
  • Aetherion Pro Bundle Includes free 100″-200″ Matte White Screen Pre-order price: $3,499 (original value $3,798–$4,498) Savings: $299 – $999

Additional upgraded screen and accessory bundles will also be available for enthusiasts seeking even more refined setups.

Extra Savings for Loyal AWOL Vision Customers

To reward its existing community, AWOL Vision is offering an additional $150 – $200 discount to owners of the LTV-3000 and LTV-3500 models. Proof of purchase (screenshot or serial number) is required. Note that this loyalty discount cannot be combined with the $20 deposit promotion.

Availability

Pre-orders are open now through May 14, 2026, via Amazon and awolvision.com. Shipping for pre-order units will align with the official retail launches in May (Pro) and June (Max).

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
