LED wall that fits
Under a 3 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 14.9 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, Gaines 1 holds about 247 theater seats, 101 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 69 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 7.9 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
