What fits in Great Hall
With a 7.5 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 (2.5 mm) runs 70 tiles wide by 11 high (770 tiles, 35 x 5.5 m, 14000 x 2200 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 6,006 kg and draws up to 123.2 kW (592 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 1,522 theater, 622 banquet, or 428 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 | 58 x 16 = 928 | 34.8 x 5.4 m | 44544 x 6912 | 4,176 kg / 9,206 lb | 82.1 kW, 395 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 70 x 11 = 770 | 35 x 5.5 m | 14000 x 2200 | 6,006 kg / 13,241 lb | 123.2 kW, 592 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 70 x 11 = 770 | 35 x 5.5 m | 8960 x 1408 | 6,006 kg / 13,241 lb | 107.8 kW, 518 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. 18 of the 22 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.
Data source
Published dimensions. Dimensions from the venue's published meeting-space specifications (source). Rooms drawn as boxes use published length x width; shapes are as published. Venue managers: send a floor plan to upgrade your listing to production-ready.
