Cool, and thanks for sharing. No idea they could do that on the video side, and the sound treatment everywhere is pretty mind boggling too, let alone what they were doing with the sound system.
Awesome summary, thank you! You confirmed some of what I expected about the Sphere. I'm interested to see where the visuals will be after a few years of trial and error by the video guys.
I went in November and was blown away. I'm back in vegas this week and going again to see the replay of the U2 show. Definitely worth checking out, but the front of the 200/300 sections are a must so you can experience the entire ceiling. They're running replays of shows without the band present and also "The Sphere Experience" which is the Postcard from Earth Darren Aronofsky film almost every day which is a fantastic intro to the venue for only like $100
I went and saw 'Postcard From Earth' in there last year. Overall I felt pretty meh about it. 1.) Lobby: Very crowded. AI Robot demonstrations seemed glitchy and already outdated. HoloPlot speaker demo was pretty neat, but not totally WOW. 2.) Seating in venue was ungodly uncomfortable in upper section. I had absolutely zero legroom and was basically forced to sit sideways. 3.) Audio inside sphere - like you said - not very impactful. To my not any better than an Atmos cinema. 4.) Screen - sure big, bright and vibrant, but really not that much more impressive than a big IMAX. In some of the scenes the lines between the tiles were quite visible and distracting to my production eye. Plus IMAX has more comfortable seats. Can't help but think that seeing a concert in there wouldn't be my cup of tea. To quote Vince Gill about playing in there with the Eagles '“It's the most people I've ever been ignored by when I play"

I love that yo're doing exactly what I do when I go to a new venue haha. Thanks for making me feel less weird.

Thx for getting out like a curious sound human, going to the movies!
what an amazing venue

Honest review. thanks
thanks for sharing
👍🤙👍
"visual experience...that also had sound" lol
Engineering Audio WOW. You have much playtime on Clair Bros Rigs?
Just goes to show, more expensive doesn't always mean more betterer, especially when not used in the correct context. 😊
The visuals are a trip, but now you need to find someone to give you a tour of the system?
It would be so cool if you could get a personalized tour of the system. I suspect a concert doesn't show the system to its fullest possible effect.
Sounds like a place to show movies. I guess famous live bands fill more seats?
This brakes my brain

Most expensive doesn’t always equate to better 😎👍
Yeah, it's a cool and fancy sound system but the wow was all video
