|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 30 x 12 = 360 | 18 x 4.1 m | 23040 x 5184 | 1,620 kg / 3,571 lb | 31.9 kW, 153 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 36 x 8 = 288 | 18 x 4 m | 7200 x 1600 | 2,246 kg / 4,952 lb | 46.1 kW, 222 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.

After a 12 x 7 m stage, S103bc holds about 553 theater seats, 226 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 155 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 15.8 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
