Nebula X1 4K Projector
Video Tech
With its triple laser light engine, the X1 will offer 3,500 ANSI Lumens and 4K Ultra HD resolution, providing an unparalleled visual experience on up to a 300-inch display, making it the perfect backyard projector for daytime and nighttime use. To showcase the brightness and color accuracy, the X1 also has received both ISF and TÜV 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 X1 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.
To guarantee the highest quality light path, the X1 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.
Audio Tech
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 X1 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, Nebula’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.
To provide an even fuller audio experience, when using the optional wireless speakers, the audio drivers inside the X1 can be switched into subwoofer mode – providing additional bass, creating a 4.1.2 audio experience, ensuring that users can feel every explosion on screen.

The Nebula X1 is available for purchase on seenebula.com and Amazon.com starting on May 21st for $2,999 and available as a “backyard accessory pack” which includes two Wireless Satellite Speakers, X1 Carry Case and two Wireless Microphones for $999.
