Does the woven acoustic material cause moire effect?

In case you aren't familiar, the moire effect (Pronounced "MORE-RAY") occurs when the pixels from the projected image line up with holes on the projection surface - resulting in a strange visual pattern that can be very distracting.

In effect, any and all acoustically transparent projection materials can inadvertently align with the pixelation and cause moire, no matter who makes it, how small the holes are or how juxtaposed the weave. If you're experiencing moire, it has just as much to do with the way your theater is set up (projector placement, angle and distance from the screen) as the screen itself.

There are a few things that we do to combat moire. Our woven acoustic material is cut at a slight angle to reduce or eliminate moire effect, since the holes in the projection surface will be misaligned with the pixels of the image. The material also has a very tight weave (the holes are as small or smaller than most of our competitors' similar fabrics) - this also helps reduce the chance of this occurring.

If you encounter moire, here are a few things you can do to offset the pixels:

-Rotate the material 180 degrees.

-Flip the material so the back is the front and the front is the back.

-Zoom your projector in or out a small amount, even if the picture spills onto the black velvet a bit.

-Adjust the projector by moving it farther or closer to the screen. 

-Adjust the projector so there is less of an angle on it and you're projecting the image straight onto the screen.
