The Big Stage

The Video Wall

Ten feet of Planar LED right on the stage. The kind of screen that turns a room into an event.

• Planar DirectLight Essential FHD 136, direct-view LED at 1.5mm pixel pitch. Sharp from the front row, not just the back.
• 9'10" wide × 5'7" tall at full 1920x1080. Native HD with no scaling and no projector guesswork about ambient light.
• Driven by a Planar WallDirector VC4-L-F10G controller. Feed it graphics, slideshows, live camera, or a full-length film.

What people put on it: sponsor graphics front and center, speaker headshots and branded backdrops, the night's lineup and schedule, hype reels, feature screenings, and karaoke, because a ten-foot screen was made for a crowd singing along.

Sound

• Midas M32R 40-channel digital mixer with a Midas DL32 stage box on the deck. 32 inputs and 16 outputs at the stage, so a full band or a six-person panel patches in without cable spaghetti down the room.
• 6× DAS Audio EVENT26A powered line array elements. Even coverage front to back instead of one loud spot and one dead one.
• 1× EVENT218A dual 18" sub and 2× EVENT115A 15" subs. Enough low end for a DJ set, dialed back to nothing for a panel.
• 4× DAS ALTEA-408A powered wedges for stage monitoring, plus 6× QSC AD-S5T-BK surface-mount speakers for fill so the far corners of the room hear the same show.
• DBX DriveRack VENU360 loudspeaker management and a DBX 1261V zone processor. The room is tuned and zoned already. Nobody is guessing at EQ on your night.
• QSC GX5 and SPA4-100 amplification driving the passive fills.

Microphones

• 4× Shure Beta 58A handhelds on two SLXD24D dual-channel digital wireless systems. Four live mics at once for panels, Q&A, hosts, and performers.
• Shure UA844+SWB/LC antenna distribution with 2× UA874US active directional antennas. Real RF infrastructure, which is the difference between clean wireless and dropouts in a downtown DC building.
• 2× round-base mic stands for anyone who wants their hands free.

Lighting & Rigging

• WMX1MK2 standalone DMX controller running the stage rig, with scenes set before doors.
• 2× ADJ UBL12H 1-meter RGBAL+UV LED bars. Full color wash on the stage, warm for a fireside chat or saturated for a show.
• 2× 2.5m square truss segments with clamps, eye clamps, and 2-ton screw-pin shackles. Bring a banner, a fixture, or your own gear and there's a rated place to hang it.

Cameras

• 3× Canon CR-N300 4K PTZ cameras with 20x zoom, NDI over the network. Wide, stage, and crowd coverage without a camera operator standing in your audience's sightline.

Bottom line: the room is already built. Bring the content and the guest list.
