Plan view

Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 3.1 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 2 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 14.6 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 23 x 2 (4600 x 400 px, 359 kg, 7.4 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	19 x 3 = 57	11.4 x 1 m	14592 x 1296	257 kg / 565 lb	5 kW, 24 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	23 x 2 = 46	11.5 x 1 m	4600 x 400	359 kg / 791 lb	7.4 kW, 35 A @ 208 V
Absen PL3.9 Plus V2	3.9 mm	23 x 2 = 46	11.5 x 1 m	2944 x 256	359 kg / 791 lb	6.4 kW, 31 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, Grand 1 & 2 holds about 287 theater seats, 117 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 80 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 7.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
