OSA International Delivers Megan Moroney’s Tour Visuals With Absen X5 LED Displays

Orlando, FL –  As crowds gather, Megan Moroney steps onto stages across the country with a sound that has quickly become a fixture in modern country music. She gained national attention with her single “Tennessee Orange” following her debut EP Pistol Made of Roses. She 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. As a result, 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. To meet those needs, OSA International deployed Absen’s X5, a legacy product no longer in production but still performing 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. “The reliability and durability really come from the standard of the tile itself,” he said. “You can put a lot of weight on it, and if you need to swap out a tile, it’s easy to do so.” Searle noted that the design reduced pressure points found in other systems, cutting load-in and load-out time and limiting downtime during travel. After more than 60 shows, he reported that the X5 “looked just as good as it did on the first show,” highlighting the product’s long-term stability.

For Searle, the system’s stability played a direct role in show execution. “The durability of the tiles made it so that we knew we had a safe show,” he said. “It made it good for me directing the show, knowing everything was safe and performing the way it should.”

Support from Absen contributed to the tour’s efficiency. Searle said Absen’s U.S. technical team responded quickly to early-tour issues. “As soon as I had issues on the first show out, they had a technician available standing by,” he said. “It felt good going across the country and 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. “It’s been a system that’s worked,” he said. “The build time is completely fast and efficient.”

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 the company aims to provide both equipment and ongoing support. “We are not only an LED manufacturing company; we are a full solution support partner,” he said. Niu highlighted that the X5’s durability and service-friendly design reflect the same engineering principles Absen applies across its product portfolio today, 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.
