Ultimate Backyard Projector Features 14-Element Glass Lens and Built-In Micro Gimbal With Auto-Setup Feature
BELLEVUE, WA, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Soundcore, Anker Innovations’ premium audio and video brand today introduced the Nebula X1S, the next generation in backyard projectors in order to meet the needs of the most discerning consumers. Listening to customers’ requests, the Nebula X1S builds on the company’s X1 platform and offers an exceptional cinematic experience for those that demand the highest resolution, brighter picture, rich colors and detailed sound, while making setup a breeze.
Display Technology
With its upgraded triple laser light engine, the X1S will boost the light output from 3,500 ANSI Lumens (using a three lamp optical engine) to 6,000 ANSI Lumens (using a four lamp optical engine) while maintaining 4K Ultra HD resolution, providing an unparalleled visual experience on up to a 200-inch display, making it the perfect backyard projector for daytime and nighttime use. In order to showcase the brightness and color accuracy, the X1S also has received the ISF display certification.
Leveraging Dolby Vision® technology, the projector optimizes the overall image quality with greater depth, enhanced contrast and enriched colors, preserving maximum image details with minimal image quality loss. Additionally, the X1S enhances the image using the NebulaMaster™ Image Processing Engine, offering immersive, natural looking images with accurate colors, by utilizing an RGB laser to ensure a brighter display with enriched colors.
In addition, the NebulaMaster™ technology improves contrast with enriched details in both bright and dark areas of the image, offering a 5000:1 native contrast ratio as well as a 56,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. This is thanks to the f/2.0 to f/4.5, 6-blade iris while optimizing color accuracy to imitate the effect perceived by human eyes.
In order to guarantee the highest quality light path, the X1S projector uses a 14-element glass lens array. Not only does this ensure the clearest picture but unlike other projectors that use plastic lenses, prevents yellowing or deformation over time, allowing users to get the same image quality on day one or after watching hundreds or even thousands of movies or TV shows.
Setup
The X1S projector makes auto setup incredibly easy for the end consumer. Utilizing an built-in micro gimbal, the X1S can be placed on a projector stand, table or even on the floor, allowing the optical engine and lens array to tilt up to 25 degrees to find the optimal placement on a screen or wall. Combined with the projector’s optical zoom capabilities, the X1S can project on a screen up to 200-inches (diagonally) from 13 to 22 feet away. The flexibility of the optical zoom and micro gimbal also allows the projector to be placed significantly closer to the screen than other models, providing consumers with a projector that can adapt to every room. Additionally, the X1S has a memory feature, allowing it to recall room settings if it is moved.
The X1S offers Soundcore’s A.I. Spatial Adaptation auto setup procedure includes real-time autofocus and keystone correction, auto obstacle avoidance, auto screen fit, auto optical zoom, ambient light adaptation and wall color adaptation and can be initiated with a single button push on the included remote control. It also includes eye guard to protect users’ eyes if someone walks in front of the projector.
Audio Technology
As any movie-goer knows, watching a movie is only half complete without a powerful soundtrack. Until now, most portable and semi-portable projectors have left users with a sub-par audio experience.
By itself, the X1S houses four side-firing, internal speakers (two 15W and two 5W tweeters as well as two passive radiators) that offer viewers an audio experience significantly more powerful than other projectors of this size.
However, Soundcore’s engineers wanted to provide users with an easy-to-use solution for an even more powerful, upgraded audio experience. Available separately or as part of a bundle, consumers can purchase two lossless Wi-Fi satellite speakers, which each contain four drivers – two front drivers with a 40W amplifier, as well as an upward firing and side firing driver – each powered by 20W, giving users a powerful 160W immersive audio experience that adds both width and height to a movie or TV show. Each wireless speaker provides up to 8 hours of battery life and can be recharged using USB-C. Additionally, they are rated with IP54 dust and water resistance, ensuring that even a rain shower won’t damage the speakers.
In order to provide an even fuller audio experience, when using the optional wireless speakers, the audio drivers inside the X1S are automatically converted to act as a subwoofer – providing additional bass, while creating a 4.1.2 audio experience, ensuring that users can feel every explosion on screen.
Additional Features
With such a powerful and bright projector, the Nebula X1S needed to address the potential noise generated by the fans to cool the internal components. To do this, the X1S utilizes an internal liquid cooling system, which along with a single, large fan at the rear, improves heat dissipation by 15 percent while requiring a footprint that is 30 percent smaller than similar projectors that rely solely on fans. Additionally, this cooling system generates only 28 dB of noise (at 1 meter), equal to a whisper.
The X1S features the Google TV™ platform with built-in Netflix integration, allowing users to enjoy 700,000+ movies and TV episodes, live TV and more available across 10,000+ apps. However, for those users that want to connect a gaming system or Blu-Ray player, the X1S offers two HDMI ports on the rear, including one with eARC compatibility.
The X1S is also compatible with SpaceFlow, Soundcore’s immersive 3D AI projection mapping system that allows users to explore and create unique videos, turning a home’s exterior into something cinematic, expressive, and unforgettable by using generative video creation, thanks to Google’s Veo platform and a user’s imagination.
Pricing & Availability
The Nebula X1S is available for purchase starting today on Soundcore.com and Amazon.com starting for $3,299 and or available as in two different bundles. The first bundle will include a pair of Wireless Satellite Speakers, and available for $3,998 or in a second bundle that adds a 100-inch screen for $4,167. However, between August 26th and September 20th, these will be available at a discount for $2,499 for the projector alone, $2,799 for the projector and a pair of speakers or $2,899 when adding the 100-inch screen.
Additionally, there are optional accessories (in limited quantities) that consumers can purchase separately, including a pair of wireless microphones for the ultimate backyard karaoke party, as well as a padded case that can be used to store the projector, wireless speakers and power cords.
