What fits in The Grand Ballroom
With a 7.3 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 (2.5 mm) runs 85 tiles wide by 11 high (935 tiles, 42.5 x 5.5 m, 17000 x 2200 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 7,293 kg and draws up to 149.6 kW (719 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 2,522 theater, 1,031 banquet, or 709 classroom. The previz lets you move the wall, change the tile, and check sightlines from the back row.
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 71 x 16 = 1136 | 42.6 x 5.4 m | 54528 x 6912 | 5,112 kg / 11,270 lb | 100.5 kW, 483 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 85 x 11 = 935 | 42.5 x 5.5 m | 17000 x 2200 | 7,293 kg / 16,078 lb | 149.6 kW, 719 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 85 x 11 = 935 | 42.5 x 5.5 m | 10880 x 1408 | 7,293 kg / 16,078 lb | 130.9 kW, 629 A @ 208 V |
Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.
Planning notes
No rigging point data is published for this venue yet; plan on ground-supported LED or ask the venue for its rigging plot. 14 of the 21 rooms sit under 3.5 m, which rules out flown LED there and limits ground-stacked walls to about 6 rows of 500 mm tile. The Grand Ballroom is a long room (2.4:1), so put the wall on the short end and expect the back row to be 53.7 m out; a 2.5 mm pitch holds up at that distance.
