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 18.6 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 29 x 2 (4872 x 336 px, 580 kg, 10.7 kW).

Absen A2 Pro	2.97 mm	29 x 2 = 58	14.5 x 1 m	4872 x 336	580 kg / 1,279 lb	10.7 kW, 52 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, Shedd holds about 305 theater seats, 124 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 85 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 11.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
