What fits in Great Lakes Ballroom
With a 3 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 (2.5 mm) runs 26 tiles wide by 2 high (52 tiles, 13 x 1 m, 5200 x 400 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 406 kg and draws up to 8.3 kW (40 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 403 theater, 164 banquet, or 113 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 | 22 x 3 = 66 | 13.2 x 1 m | 16896 x 1296 | 297 kg / 655 lb | 5.8 kW, 28 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 26 x 2 = 52 | 13 x 1 m | 5200 x 400 | 406 kg / 894 lb | 8.3 kW, 40 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 26 x 2 = 52 | 13 x 1 m | 3328 x 256 | 406 kg / 894 lb | 7.3 kW, 35 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. 9 of the 9 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; square rooms were derived from published area only, so treat their shape as approximate. Venue managers: send a floor plan to upgrade your listing to production-ready.
