Megan Moroney steps onto stages across the country with a sound that has quickly become a fixture in modern country music. Gained attention with her single “Tennessee Orange” following her debut EP Pistol Made of Roses, Moroney released her first album, Lucky, in 2023 and followed it with Am I Okay? in 2024—which debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. 

Moroney’s tour has taken her team across a wide mix of venues, from rodeos and music festivals to arenas and outdoor stages. For OSA International, Inc., the variety demanded an LED system that could withstand shifting environments, tight schedules, and repeated transport. Those requirements were met using Absen’s X5, a legacy product that still performs like new, citing its durability, serviceability, and performance consistency across more than 60 shows.

Matt Searle, video director for OSA International, said the X5 tiles performed reliably in all conditions, including weather-sensitive locations such as Red Rocks. “You can put a lot of weight on the tiles, and you can easily swap one without taking the whole videoscope down,” he said. Searle noted that the design cut load-in and load-out time and limited downtime during travel. The system’s stability played a direct role in show execution. “It made it good for me directing the show, knowing everything was safe and performing the way it should.”

Because Absen offered a knowledgeable local technical team that responded quickly, “It felt good going across the country and to other countries knowing they were a phone call away.” That rapid response emphasized Absen’s commitment to long-term product reliability through ongoing support, which is a core element of the company’s engineering philosophy.

Timmy Abercrombie, production manager for Megan Moroney, emphasized the X5 system’s adaptability for both indoor and outdoor use. The heavier tile construction allowed the crew to secure the walls in windy conditions and maintain fast build times. Abercrombie cited a quick technical resolution earlier in the year when an issue arose. “Absen took over one of the tiles and the computer,” he said. “Within 10 minutes, they had it fixed. Everything was up and running, and we were ready for the show that night.” He noted that the collaborative relationship between OSA International and Absen helped keep the tour on schedule, describing the partnership as aligned around shared tour-wide goals.

Niel Niu, mechanical design engineer for Absen Inc., said, “We are not only an LED manufacturing company; we are a full solution support partner.” Niu highlighted that the X5’s durability and service-friendly design reflect the same engineering principles Absen applies across its product portfolio, contributing to the product line’s lasting performance in the field.

For OSA International, the combination of rugged hardware and responsive assistance helped maintain consistent visuals throughout a demanding tour. With the X5 system in place, the team delivered stable performance across diverse venues, weather conditions, and tight travel windows.

Absen’s X5 is a 5.2mm LED display designed for outdoor rental applications, including concerts, live shows and festivals. The X5 supports front and rear module access, allowing module replacement in about five seconds to streamline maintenance during fast turnarounds. With brightness levels exceeding 5000 nits and a high refresh rate, the system is built for clear visibility across varied lighting conditions, but more importantly, its lasting durability spotlights Absen’s commitment to engineering products that continue performing long after they leave production.
