LED wall that fits

Under a 3.2 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 21 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 33 x 2 (6600 x 400 px, 515 kg, 10.6 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	28 x 4 = 112	16.8 x 1.4 m	21504 x 1728	504 kg / 1,111 lb	9.9 kW, 48 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	33 x 2 = 66	16.5 x 1 m	6600 x 400	515 kg / 1,135 lb	10.6 kW, 51 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, Archives holds about 312 theater seats, 127 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 87 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 14 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
