LED wall that fits
Under a 3.4 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 3 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 18.9 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 30 x 3 (6000 x 600 px, 702 kg, 14.4 kW).
| Panel | Pitch | Wall (cols x rows) | Size | Resolution | Weight | Power (max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absen KLCOB 0.78 | 0.78 mm | 25 x 4 = 100 | 15 x 1.4 m | 19200 x 1728 | 450 kg / 992 lb | 8.8 kW, 43 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 30 x 3 = 90 | 15 x 1.5 m | 6000 x 600 | 702 kg / 1,548 lb | 14.4 kW, 69 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 30 x 3 = 90 | 15 x 1.5 m | 3840 x 384 | 702 kg / 1,548 lb | 12.6 kW, 61 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.
Seating estimate
After a 12 x 7 m stage, Kawa holds about 325 theater seats, 133 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 91 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 11.9 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
