What fits in 'CHICAGO 7' Ballroom - 3rd Floor
With a 3 m ceiling, a flown wall of Absen A2 Pro (2.97 mm) runs 48 tiles wide by 2 high (96 tiles, 24 x 1 m, 8064 x 336 px) once you keep 1.5 m of trim under the bottom edge. That wall weighs about 960 kg and draws up to 17.8 kW (85 A at 208 V). Floor space after a 12 x 7 m stage seats roughly 721 theater, 295 banquet, or 202 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9thPanel DW1.9 S Pro | 1.875 mm | 40 x 3 = 120 | 24 x 1 m | 12800 x 540 | 576 kg / 1,270 lb | 30.5 kW, 147 A @ 208 V |
| Absen A2 Pro | 2.97 mm | 48 x 2 = 96 | 24 x 1 m | 8064 x 336 | 960 kg / 2,116 lb | 17.8 kW, 85 A @ 208 V |
| Absen A3 Pro | 3.9 mm | 48 x 2 = 96 | 24 x 1 m | 6144 x 256 | 912 kg / 2,011 lb | 15.4 kW, 74 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. 11 of the 14 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. 'CHICAGO 7' Ballroom - 3rd Floor is a long room (2.3:1), so put the wall on the short end and expect the back row to be 30.5 m out; a 2.97 mm pitch holds up at that distance.
Data source
