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 23 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 36 x 2 (7200 x 400 px, 562 kg, 11.5 kW).

Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	30 x 3 = 90	18 x 1 m	23040 x 1296	405 kg / 893 lb	8 kW, 38 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	36 x 2 = 72	18 x 1 m	7200 x 400	562 kg / 1,238 lb	11.5 kW, 55 A @ 208 V
Absen PL3.9 Plus V2	3.9 mm	36 x 2 = 72	18 x 1 m	4608 x 256	562 kg / 1,238 lb	10.1 kW, 48 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, Empire holds about 988 theater seats, 404 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 278 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 16 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
