Every cabinet is cut for the 3,000 mm shell — the latitude bands, the truncations at top and bottom and the cable exits are tooled for this one diameter
4,936,082 pixels run as a single 2:1 canvas, so a stock equirectangular video maps without re-cutting
Front-service modules on magnetic carriers: one dead module comes off with a suction tool, no need to open the shell or hire a lift
Load ring, three-point rigging and a stamped connection detail are included in the drawing package
Max draw is 22.6 kW at 800 W/m² — we size the distribution board and the cable runs from this figure, not from a rule of thumb
Three metres is the point where clients start asking for the sphere to be the landmark rather than a decoration. Suspension is normally eight-point from a truss ring, and the bottom clearance has to be agreed with the venue before anything is drawn.

Same shell, different module. The resolution and the price both move with the pitch — this table is the fastest way to see what you are choosing between.

FAQ
Practical questions
What resolution does a 3 m sphere give at P3?
3,142 × 1,571 px, about 4,936,082 pixels in total. The horizontal count is the circumference (9.42 m) divided by 3 mm; the vertical count is half that, because a sphere maps as a 2:1 equirectangular image.
How much does a 3 m LED sphere weigh?
Around 368 kg for the screen and shell together, assuming 13 kg per m² of surface. That is an estimate for early structural conversations — the final figure comes from the shell design and we issue it with the drawing set.
Can it be built in a different diameter?
Yes. Anything from 0.8 m to 20 m is quoted from a drawing; the sizes on this page are the ones with existing tooling, which is why they are cheaper and faster. An odd diameter means a new mould set, and that shows up as a separate line in the quotation.
