The new PDR Projector Drop represents the latest evolution in projector lift technology,

designed specifically for high-end residential home cinema installations. Trusted by top audio-

visual professionals around the world, the PDR’s universal mounting system and adjustable drop

distance make it an industry favorite.

At the heart of the range is the PDR-RES, purpose-built for residential settings. It features a

smart Plaster-In Edge MDF framework that enables a seamless, flush ceiling finish—eliminating

unsightly flanges and leaving only a minimal 3mm shadow gap when closed.

Two-stage installation makes life easier: the ceiling frame can be fitted during first fix, with the

lift mechanism simply clicking into place later thanks to spring-loaded locks and clean cable

routing. The pre-fitted moisture-resistant MDF base and matching ceiling trims can be painted to

blend in perfectly with the surrounding décor.

More compact, yet more capable, the PDR has been resized to accommodate today’s larger

projectors—no customization required for most models. Options are still available for larger

projectors from Sony and Barco.

Other upgrades include a latched mechanism for quicker fitting, along with thoughtful touches

like cable retainer brackets and simple connector looms. Meanwhile, the trusted features from

the previous PDR generation—such as adjustable drop height, tilt functionality (PDR2), and

premium aluminum components—are all retained.

The result? A sleek, smart, and simplified solution for the modern home cinema.
