At 6 inches wide, 6 inches long, and 1.8 inches tall, the AAXA M5 is truly a small projector. Looking at the front of the projector, there is a recessed lens on the left. On the left side of the projector, there’s the On/Off switch, the power indicator LED light, and some inputs. Underneath those, you’ll find the focus ring, which is a ridged dial that’s super easy to use, and to the left, the air intake vents.
The back of the projector houses most of the inputs and connectors, which we will get into in the next section. Those are on the right side, when facing the back, and to the far left is another air intake vent.
Moving to the top, we have the mono 2-Watt speaker behind the control panel. The control panel, as expected, has buttons for navigating through the menus, and a Power On/Off button. There is a half-circle of blue LED lights to indicate that the projector is on (and to look cool, I imagine). To the right, when looking at the lens, there are two hot air exhaust fans.
