At CES 2026 in early January, AWOL Vision introduced the Aetherion UST series, consisting of two ultra-short-throw laser projectors: the Aetherion Pro and the Aetherion Max. We have already conducted a hands on review of the flagship version, where the 4K UST projector and its accompanying screen impressed us primarily with their exceptional image quality. The debut created a buzz around compact home theater gear, promising impressive detail and color with bright whites and deep blacks, even in brighter room conditions that typical projectors sometimes struggles to handle.
Retail momentum and market expectations
In February the Aetherion series launched on Kickstarter, offering crowdfunding enthusiasts the chance to order either of the two models at a significant discount. Now, the official retail launch is approaching, and prospective buyers can still secure some savings—at least to a certain extent. Early backers bragged about benefits, while retailer channels begin to align pricing for later buyers. Shipping estimates have shifted slightly, but the core value propositions remains to be seen by those who wants a high end UST without breaking the bank.
Aetherion Pro pricing and bundles
The AWOL Vision Aetherion Pro is set for release on May 20. It is available for pre-order at the full MSRP of €2,799. However, those looking to purchase the UST projector in combination with a screen can save up to €999. The Aetherion Pro is available in a bundle with a 100-inch ALR screen for €3,299 (instead of the €3,798 MSRP). If you want to treat yourself to 120 inches, the price is €3,499 (instead of €4,498).
Aetherion Max options and furniture friendly setups
If you prefer the even brighter Aetherion Max with 3,300 ISO lumens, you will have to be patient until June. Currently, there is an opportunity to save €300 on pre-orders, allowing the Max version to be ordered for €3,699 instead of the €3,999 MSRP. Here, too, the manufacturer is offering various bundles with discounts of up to €1,398—for example, in combination with a 100-inch floor-rising screen for €4,999 or a 120-inch version for €5,499. For those who want to hide the projector and screen inside a piece of furniture, the Station package is available for €5,999.
