Plan view

LED wall that fits

Under a 5.5 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 7 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 13.4 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 21 x 7 (4200 x 1400 px, 1,147 kg, 23.5 kW).

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, Salem 1A holds about 93 theater seats, 38 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 26 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 6.4 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
